OVERVIEW

Keep Your Spool Secure

There is nothing more annoying than a wire spool that won't stay put because of a missing or broken retainer cap. If you are running an ESAB MigMaster 173, 203, or 253, this ESAB Cap Wheel (0349483454) is exactly what you need to get back to work. It is the original factory part, so you don't have to worry about it not threading on correctly or popping off in the middle of a bead.

Quick Fix, Better Welds

A loose spool can cause bird-nesting, erratic feeding, and ugly welds. This simple plastic wheel cap locks your spool onto the hub, ensuring the wire feeds off smoothly and consistently. It’s a small part that plays a big role in your machine's performance. Whether you lost yours during a spool change or the old one finally gave up the ghost, this replacement will have your machine running like new in seconds.

Why Buy Genuine?

While you might be tempted to rig something up, using the correct spool cap protects your machine's hub assembly and ensures the spool brake works as intended. This cap is built tough to handle the shop environment and is designed specifically for the thread pitch on your MigMaster's hub. Keep a spare in your toolbox so you never get stuck without one.
