Configuration Options
Refer to the sections below to determine the appropriate components for your application. This will affect steps later in
the set up process. This wire feeder accepts standard 8" (203 mm)or 12" (305 mm)spools.
Hard Wire Configuration
Use the hard wire configuration for welding
metals, such as Stainless Steel,
Steel,Titanium, and Nickel alloys.
Requires V-Drive Rolls, Steel Liners, and 0.4''
(10mm) Extension, which is the default.
To select the proper components, use the size
that corresponds with the hard wire’s diameter.
See the chart on the right for reference.
