Mig Welding Stainless Steel

Alan Smith · Apr 19, 2006

I don't often have to weld stainless so for a small job I bought a small roll of 0.8mm SS wire. The wire is so springy that as soon as I start feeding the roll unwinds and gets in a tangle. What's the best way to deal with this stuff?

Did you try increasing the tension on your spool holder?

Ah, right. Should have said the machine normally takes 15Kg reels of wire. For tis small reel I made up a wooden holder. Obviously I have to add some kind of tension device to this.Thanks for the input guys it's quite clear now.
