Welding aluminum requires precision and the right equipment to overcome the challenges of feeding soft wire. The M1514 Teflon Liner is an essential upgrade for welders using Miller MIG guns who need to run aluminum wire diameters between .047" (3/64") and .062" (1/16"). Unlike standard steel liners, which can shave soft aluminum wire and cause friction buildup, this high-quality Teflon liner provides a smooth, low-resistance path for the wire to travel from the feeder to the contact tip.
One of the most common issues in aluminum MIG welding is "bird-nesting," where the wire tangles at the drive rolls due to downstream resistance. The M1514 liner addresses this by utilizing a durable PTFE (Teflon) material that offers a significantly lower coefficient of friction. This ensures that the wire glides effortlessly through the gun cable, maintaining a consistent arc and reducing the likelihood of burn-backs or erratic feeding. Whether you are fabricating aluminum boat hulls, repairing trailers, or performing automotive work, this liner is critical for achieving high-quality welds.
Designed as a direct replacement for Miller-style equipment, this liner is easy to install and trim to the correct length for your specific gun assembly. It is compatible with a wide range of Miller MIG guns and is robust enough to withstand the rigors of industrial environments while protecting the integrity of your soft welding wire. By switching to a dedicated Teflon liner for your aluminum projects, you protect your equipment and improve your overall welding efficiency.
