KP14-564 - Lincoln Magnum 5/64 Contact Tip (10-Pack)

Precision Engineering for Magnum MIG Guns

Maximize the efficiency of your welding operations with the Lincoln Electric KP14-564 Contact Tip, specifically engineered for the Magnum® 300 and Magnum® 400 series MIG guns. This 10-pack of contact tips is designed to handle 5/64-inch (2.0 mm) wire, a size often utilized in structural and heavy fabrication applications where deposition rates and penetration are critical. As an OEM component, the KP14-564 guarantees a perfect fit and seamless integration with your existing Lincoln Electric equipment, eliminating the guesswork associated with aftermarket generic parts.

Superior Arc Stability and Wire Feeding

In MIG welding, the contact tip is the final point of transfer for the welding current. The integrity of this connection defines the stability of the arc. The KP14-564 features a precision-drilled bore that ensures constant electrical contact with the moving wire. This consistent transfer of current is vital for maintaining a focused arc and achieving deep penetration. Furthermore, the smooth internal finish of the tip reduces friction, allowing the wire to feed effortlessly through the gun. This reduction in drag helps prevent bird-nesting at the drive rolls and ensures a uniform wire speed, which is essential for high-quality automated or manual welding.

Built for High-Amperage Environments

The Magnum 300 and 400 guns are workhorses in the industry, often subjected to high duty cycles and intense heat. The KP14-564 contact tip is constructed to withstand these rigorous conditions. Its thermal properties allow it to dissipate heat effectively, resisting deformation and melting even during prolonged welds. This durability translates to fewer tip changes per shift, keeping your welders under the hood and focused on fabrication rather than troubleshooting equipment issues.

Essential Consumable Management

Recognizing that contact tips are a consumable item that directly impacts weld quality, Lincoln Electric provides the KP14-564 in packs of 10. This packaging is ideal for busy workshops where downtime must be kept to a minimum. Signs that a tip needs replacement include an erratic arc, excessive spatter, or visible wear at the tip's exit. By maintaining a stock of these standard 5/64" tips, operators can ensure their Magnum guns are always ready to perform at their best, delivering the professional results expected from Lincoln Electric systems.
