OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Heavy-Duty Welds

Is your wire stuttering or dragging just as you're laying down a critical bead? Often, the culprit isn't the liner or the contact tip—it's the guide right at the power pin. The Miller 278795 Power Pin Tip is the unsung hero of your MIG gun setup, specifically designed to guide .052" to 5/64" steel wire from your feeder into your gun. When you are running heavy wire for structural or industrial jobs, you need a guide that can handle the throughput without wearing out instantly.

This tip acts as a funnel for your welding wire. Over time, the constant friction of thousands of feet of steel wire cuts grooves into the tip, creating sharp edges that shave the wire or cause drag. These shavings then travel down your liner and clog it up, leading to erratic feeding and frustrating burn-backs. By replacing your power pin tip with this genuine Miller part, you restore the smooth, low-friction path your wire needs to feed consistently. It’s a small investment that saves you from the headache of troubleshooting feed problems mid-shift.

Designed for durability, this steel tip stands up to the rigors of daily welding. It fits perfectly into compatible Miller power pins, ensuring there's no gap for the wire to wander. Whether you are replacing a liner or doing a full gun overhaul, checking and replacing this tip is a smart move. Don't let a worn-out guide ruin your day—keep a spare Miller 278795 in your toolbox and keep your arc steady and your wire moving freely.

Installation Tip: Always check the tip for burrs or wear whenever you change your gun liner. A fresh tip ensures your new liner lasts as long as possible.
