Reply:.035 solid is too big for that machine.get a roll of .030but in the mean timetake the.035 roll off, turn on the machine and see if you get the same soundNo sound= you probably have the Tension set too tight on the Hubsame sound, send it in for repair.One more thing, as you get towards the end of the Roll it becomes harder for it to spool offEd Conleyhttp://www.screamingbroccoli.com/MM252MM211 (Sold)Passport Plus & Spool gunLincoln SP135 Plus- (Gone to a good home)Klutch 120v Plasma cutterSO 2020 benderBeer in the fridge
