As for your original question re liner, save your time and ditch it altogether and install a retro encabulator instead.

Bookmarked! I've been looking for that vid for a couple of years but couldn't remember the manufacturer.

I've been working on a linear drive system that will find positions in the ( I^1/2) segment of sections and need that to satisfy the permutation of the formula between the optical encoder and the control board.

Thanks.

If you need something smaller you can always go with a micro encabulator

Naturally the price point increases when powered by the modial interaction of the capacitive distractance and magneto-reluctance as most models currently are.

I don't care how they measure it, side fumbling is still a problem.

In Aus people use old mig liners to catch bardi grubs out of their holes. Unwind the end into a corkscrew and you are grubbin.

Getting back to liners.

I have had an ugly xp with them. Once upon a time I switched to another Lincoln Powertec 360S, if I remember correctly machine and was annoyed to death -> start to weld, works well, after some short time wire melts to the tip, or melts with huge drops slowly. First idea was, new wire has inconsistent diameter, measured did not find any excess microns.

I did not know back then that my movements with hose caused the problem.

Liner inside was bent in many places, coating broken and missing in places, all those turns caused friction and least hose bending slowed down wire feed.

Changed the liner, dark clouds disappeared.

Dirt prevention, take a piece of cloth and pierce it on the wire right before wire enters feeder rollers(before conic hole), collects some dust/dirt from spool. It is not a good idea to roll back wire from hose.

For a wire wiper I use 2in square pieces of felt from a boot insole clipped on. I also bought a package of kids socks from the dollar store which I fill with Tidy Cat kitty litter ( said to be a very good desiccant ) and place one in the bottom of the welder cabinet . Last summer in SW Ontario we had a few weeks of super hot and humid weather -metal stuff started to rust so I also had to buy a dehumidifier. Not really sure how well the desiccant works but can't hurt. Whenever I put on a new spool I blow out the liner with compressed air. I also installed a pernifenschoton just prevent any more hyphlnuten on the exterior salferenzen. :roll:

My second hand mig had its original liner, almost totally clogged, kinked in two places and even had corrosion like salty stuff on it. Trip to the local welder repair man, who stocks lots of spares for random old migs, and away we go.

I get hyphlnuten when my carbon monoxide diffuser falls below 16 lh/3m sq. Just watch your miilibar rating and you should be ok.

Well I think it doesn't matter since we don't run a lot of wire through the machine. And grasshopper? Really. Please I can't jump worth anything. And I am kind of used to it now.

Wow. This thread took a left turn. I can't believe I actually read everything and watched one video. That's like 4 mins of my life I won't get back.

Anyway, to the question, when we are really busy we usually replace our liners once a week to two weeks, as per out maintenance schedule. We can run around a spool of wire through them a day (44 lbs each) when cooking. Overkill for sure and the liners have life left in them but we don't want the failure and the downtime of repairing expensive parts because of a $15 part. At home, I've only replaced my liner once in the almost 6 years I've owned my Miller 252 but I don't run near the amount of wire through it. Give it a good blow out and even take it out to clean it and it should last you years. If the wire starts catching or the liner becomes suspect in any way just replace it. Always keep a extra on hand as well. The problem always seems to creep up late at night or the weekend.

Funny you should respond. You are the reason I asked because I was listening to the podcast and was wondering: should we change the liner at school on our 252. Good to know especially with the same model

Changed a liner today with that ESAB suggested tip, with conical liner end grinding.

Our binzel guns suggest that as well, To stop the liner snag on and unscrewing the tip.
