[TheForge] Mig Wire

Thu Feb 5 11:19:00 2004

Someone once told me that if you are using say .030 wire then you do not want
to use a .030 tip but the next larger size.  In other words always use a tip
one size larger that the wire you are using.

I must say I always use the same size wire as tip and have had no problems,
but then again I live in a very dry climate.  Possible this recommendation is
a solution for those with a pitting problem on their wire.  Has anyone else
ever heard of this?
