Also the gas valve is in the handle and switches before the electrical suply, therefore much better control of gas. The MIN/MAX & 1/2 settings would be much better for me if there were 6 levels instead! I really prefer it*, but wish it had more fine-tuning between settings. However, when running mine on 0.6mm wire & 0.6mm tip, I struggled to get anything close to a run and the wire was perpetually welded into the tip whenever it stopped.Īfter 18years & a lot of projects with the SIP I got myself a Clarke 130 tubo instead. Re-feeding the wire is another way to reduce the life of a torch liner! I used the full size wire spools to avoid needing to re-feed the wire (definately worth it if you have a lot to do). The roughened surface was probably a reason for needing regular torch liner changes. The wire surface is roughed up by the drive wheel which may help keep the tip bore cleaner. It has a couple of limitations, but as the roller drive for 0.8 is serrated and the wire is stronger, it can push the wire harder (less likely to stick in the tip). I replaced the full torch/cable assy twice and lots of torch liners as well.įor these, the 0.8mm wire together with a 1.00mm tip is a common preffered 'solution'. (definately worth a read) I replaced the full. I used a SIP migmate 130 tubo and recognise all the well-discussed issues you'll find on that welding forum.
