OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Superior Welds

Nothing ruins a weld bead faster than a stuttering wire feeder. If you are running steel wire on your ESAB machine, the condition of your drive system is paramount. The ESAB 0558002223 Intermediate Guide is the unsung hero of your wire feeder, sitting right in the heart of the drive assembly to keep your wire moving straight and true.

Designed specifically for the common steel wire range of .023" to .045", this guide prevents the wire from wandering or buckling when the drive rolls push it through. Whether you are welding thin sheet metal with .023" wire or fabricating structural components with .045", this guide ensures the wire transitions smoothly through the feeder. A worn guide can cause shavings to build up in your liner or lead to frustrating birdnests that stop production cold.

Don't let a small, inexpensive part cause big headaches in your shop. By swapping out your old, grooved guide for a fresh ESAB 0558002223, you restore the factory-spec performance of your machine. It installs in seconds and provides peace of mind that your wire delivery system is optimized for consistent, spatter-free welding.
