OVERVIEW

Reliable Arc Performance with ESAB M8 Tips

Every welder knows that the contact tip is the unsung hero of the MIG gun. It is the final point of contact where the welding current is transferred to the wire, and its condition directly impacts your arc stability. The ESAB M8 x 30mm contact tip (SKU 340P101262) is built to deliver smooth, consistent performance for 1.0mm (0.040") wire applications. Whether you are fabricating mild steel in a shop or performing repairs in the field, starting with a fresh, high-quality tip is the easiest way to troubleshoot erratic wire feeding.

This tip is crafted from Electrolytic Copper (E-Cu). Why does that matter? Copper is one of the best conductors of electricity. By using high-purity E-Cu, ESAB ensures that the current transfer is efficient, reducing heat buildup in the tip itself and focusing the energy into the weld pool. The smooth internal bore minimizes friction, allowing the wire to feed seamlessly without drag, which is often the culprit behind "stuttering" welds.

Designed to fit torches requiring M8 threaded tips, such as the popular ESAB PSF line, these tips are easy to install and seat securely for optimal thermal transfer. Don't let a worn-out tip ruin your bead profile or cause frustrating burnbacks. Keep a stock of these ESAB M8 tips in your toolbox to ensure you are always ready to lay down high-quality welds with precision and confidence.

Key Benefits

  • Smooth Feeding: Precision-drilled bore reduces drag on the wire.
  • Stable Arc: High conductivity copper ensures consistent current transfer.
  • Perfect Fit: Standard M8 threads for quick and secure replacement.
  • Versatile: Ideal for general purpose MIG welding with 1.0mm wire.

FAQ

This contact tip features an M8 thread.

It is designed for 1.0mm welding wire, which is approximately 0.040 inches.

The tip is 30mm long.

It is made of E-Cu (Electrolytic Copper), known for high electrical conductivity.

It is compatible with ESAB PSF series torches and other MIG guns that accept M8 x 30mm contact tips.

You should change the tip when the bore becomes oval-shaped (keyholing), if the wire sticks, or if you experience erratic arc stability.

While E-Cu tips can be used, aluminum often benefits from tips with slightly larger clearance due to thermal expansion. Ensure the bore size is appropriate for the specific aluminum wire grade.

Ecu stands for Electrolytic Copper, indicating the material composition of the tip.
