wire feed liners

[abstractduk]

hi-great site-especially for those new to migging-like me!

i recently bought a clarke 90en to put some new sills and related panels on my mgb gt. im working outside so have it set up on gasless at the moment so i can tack it all together for the time being, though ive just bought 5 of those crap*y disposable gas bottles so i can use gas too-weather permitting.

just wanted to know about the liners and if its ok to use the same liner for both 0.9mm gasless and 0.6 wire for gas as i noticed that liners come in different diameters? thanks-again, great site! )

For the CLarke's the liner size is not a big deal As the torch is short.

I have 12' and 15' Tweco torches on my MIG (had the 12' on my Clarke.) Over that distance, running 0.6mm down a 1.1mm liner it basically became a long spring. I would get stutter on the feed.

I have a 0.9mm liner and use it for most work. If I am doing a bunch of 0.6mm, I'll swap the liner with a 0.6mm one. Only takes 3 minutes.

On a 6' torch lead, it is not a problem.
