The Miller M1508 Teflon Liner is a critical component for industrial welding operations utilizing aluminum wire. Unlike standard steel liners, which are designed for hard wires like mild steel, this liner is manufactured from high-quality Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon. This material provides an exceptionally low coefficient of friction, which is essential when feeding soft, pliable aluminum wires. The liner is sized specifically for wire diameters ranging from .047" (3/64") to .062" (1/16"), covering the most common gauges used in structural and fabrication aluminum welding.
In professional fabrication environments, wire feeding issues are a primary cause of downtime. Aluminum wire, being softer than steel, is prone to buckling, shaving, and "birdnesting" at the drive rolls if it encounters resistance within the gun cable. The M1508 liner mitigates these risks by providing a smooth, snag-free path for the wire to travel from the feeder to the contact tip. This results in a stable arc, consistent deposition rates, and higher quality welds with fewer defects. It is compatible with a range of Miller MIG guns, ensuring seamless integration into existing equipment setups.
Key Technical Specifications:
For maintenance and repair operations (MRO), keeping a stock of M1508 liners is recommended to prevent production halts. Over time, even Teflon liners can accumulate aluminum oxide dust or become kinked, necessitating replacement to maintain optimal performance. This product meets or exceeds OEM specifications for fit and function, providing a reliable solution for demanding aluminum welding tasks.
