0446080882 - ESAB Middle Wire Guide 2.0mm for Steel Wire

Maintain Smooth Wire Feeding with Genuine ESAB Parts

Every welder knows that a smooth wire feed is the backbone of a good weld. If your wire is slipping, dragging, or wandering before it even hits the liner, your arc is going to suffer. The ESAB Middle Guide Steel 2mm (0446080882) is the specific replacement part you need to keep 2.0mm steel wire running straight and true through your feeder's drive rolls.

This isn't just a generic tube; it is a precision-machined guide designed to fit perfectly into ESAB wire feed assemblies. When running heavier wires like 2.0mm (approx. 5/64"), the force required to push the wire is significant. Without a proper middle guide, the wire can easily bow or misalign under the pressure of the drive rolls, leading to the dreaded "birdnesting" that stops production cold. This steel guide supports the wire rigidly, ensuring maximum energy transfer from the motor to the torch tip.

Key Benefits for the Welder

• Eliminate Feed Issues: Drastically reduces the chance of wire buckling between rolls.
• Durable Construction: Made from hardened steel to resist the cutting action of the moving wire.
• Perfect Fit: Designed for ESAB feeders, ensuring no modification is needed for installation.
• Consistent Arc: Smooth feeding leads to a stable arc length and better penetration.

Don't let a small, worn-out component compromise your heavy welding projects. Inspect your wire guides regularly for grooves or burrs. If you see signs of wear, swap in this fresh ESAB Middle Guide to ensure your 2mm wire feeds like new. It is an affordable investment in uptime and weld quality.
