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.
