997032 - ESAB ST-21M Spool Gun Wire Guide Replacement

Keep Your Spool Gun Running Smoothly

If you run an ESAB ST-21M spool gun, you know that smooth wire feeding is the difference between a perfect bead and a frustrating day of clearing jams. The ESAB 997032 Wire Guide is the genuine replacement part you need to keep your gun firing on all cylinders. Over time, the original guide in your gun can wear out, get grooved by the wire, or become clogged with aluminum shavings and dirt. When that happens, you start seeing erratic feeding, slipping drive rolls, and the dreaded "birdnest" where the wire tangles up inside the casing.

This wire guide is designed to fit your ST-21M perfectly. It acts as the highway for your welding wire, guiding it straight from the spool, through the drive rolls, and into the barrel without snagging. Because it is an OEM part from ESAB, you don't have to worry about fitment issues or modifying it to make it work. It drops right in, restoring the tight tolerances your gun had when it was brand new. This is especially important if you are welding aluminum, which is soft and tricky to feed. A fresh wire guide supports the wire properly so it doesn't buckle under pressure.

Don't let a five-dollar part ruin a thousand-dollar job. Keeping a spare 997032 Wire Guide in your toolbox is cheap insurance against downtime. Whether you are welding on a boat, fixing a truck body, or doing custom fabrication, reliable equipment is key to making money. By replacing your worn-out guide with this fresh one, you ensure consistent arc starts and steady wire speed, allowing you to focus on your puddle control rather than fighting your equipment.

Installation is quick and easy, getting you back under the hood in minutes. Simply disassemble the drive housing, remove the old, worn guide, and slide this new one into place. It’s a small maintenance step that makes a huge difference in how your ST-21M performs. Trust genuine ESAB parts to keep your welds clean and your workflow uninterrupted.
