OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Heavy Wire Applications

If you are running heavy wire—specifically 1/16" or 5/64"—you know that feeding issues can ruin your day. The Miller 056195 Wire Inlet Guide is the exact replacement part you need to keep your wire feeder running smoothly. Located right before the drive rolls, this guide plays a huge role in preventing "birdnesting" and ensuring your wire doesn't drag or shave as it enters the machine.

Over time, inlet guides can develop grooves or become clogged with debris, adding friction to your wire feed system. This extra drag can cause your arc to stutter or burn back. Swapping out your old guide for a fresh Miller 056195 is a quick and easy fix that restores the smooth, consistent feeding you expect from your Miller equipment. It is designed to fit perfectly, eliminating the guesswork of universal parts.

Don't let a five-dollar part cause a thousand-dollar headache. Whether you are flux-coring structural steel or running hardfacing wire, ensuring your inlet guide matches your wire diameter is Welding 101. This guide is built tough by Miller to handle the demands of professional welding, giving you the confidence that your machine will feed right, every time you pull the trigger.
