Hi, I just bought a Handler 135 and it is
set up to run flux core.030 wire. I was looking through Hobarts catalog that came with it and they show a .023 contact tip for use with solid core wire and gas. They then list the available wire as .024. Why don't they have a .024 contact tip available? Is the .023 tip an approximate size and can you use it with the .024 solid wire? This may be a dumb question but since this is the first MIG welder I've owned I figured someone on this forum would know. I looked on a Lincoln site and they list a .023-.025 tip.
Tell me what you can on this as the catalog leaves this ambiguity unanswered. Thanks, Tim.
