FAQ
Which wire is this tip for?
For 1.6 mm wire. The same version in other sizes: 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm and 1.2 mm.
How is it different from a standard tip?
The bore is larger than on a standard tip of the same size, because aluminium wire expands more with heat and could jam in a tight bore. For steel wire, choose the standard tip: CuCrZr M8 1.6 mm.
Does it fit the MT 150 G?
No. The MT 150 G uses M6 tips, 25 mm long, for example ECu for Al wire M6 0.8 mm.
