Welding with a Fronius 2200 using .023 wire?

[Jordan Funk]

Has anyone used the Fronius Transteel 2200 to weld mild steel using .023 wire and if so, did you use the .030 liner successfully with that wire?? Also, did you have to use the .023 clamping piece to avoid bird-nesting or is the .030 clamping piece adequate for .023 wire using a .030 liner?

Thanks guys (and gals

Yes, just use the correct size contact tip.
