266731 - Miller 266731 Wire Straightener and Outlet Guide

Optimize Your Wire Feeder Performance

Keep your welding operations running without interruption using the Miller 266731 Guide, Wire Outlet Wire Straightener. This replacement part is a vital element of the wire drive mechanism in select Miller wire feeders. As welding wire is pushed through the drive rolls, it can retain a cast or curvature from the spool. The wire outlet guide and straightener helps to align the wire and remove excessive cast before it enters the welding gun cable, ensuring a smooth and consistent feed path.

Over time, the constant friction of metal wire passing through the guide can create grooves or wear patterns. These imperfections can snag the wire, causing increased resistance on the drive motor and potential feeding failures. The Miller 266731 is engineered to resist wear and provide a low-friction path for the wire. It is particularly important for applications requiring long gun cables or softer wires where feedability is a challenge. Using genuine Miller parts like this guide protects your investment by ensuring all components of the drive assembly work in harmony.

Welders Supply is your trusted source for genuine Miller maintenance parts. This package contains one wire outlet guide/straightener, ready for installation. Regular inspection and replacement of drive roll guides are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule to avoid unexpected downtime during critical fabrication jobs.
