Hello, I searched my problem on the forum and didn't find anything so sorry if it had already been covered before and I missed it. I have a problem with my wire breaking and snapping back. I can thread it no problem. Then when I push wire feed, after about 10-20 seconds, it snaps. It seems to break in the back but not necessarily where the prob is. I found it strange that even after it breaks the rollers in back still keep spinning.
What I have checked:
I cleaned both of the upper head rollers and bearings, cleaned the lower head roller and replaced thee bearings, (the spacer piece is a little messed up but even after removal and try run it still did it), took off and replaced with some old pair of collection rollers with new bearings and cleaned, cleaned aspirator, cleaned and even tried a different wire cutter, I changed spools of wire, cleaned wire guides, checked tension on screen(was 12 and went to 8) no difference.
The upper rollers do have a bit of a groove in them but I don't think that would do this but I could be wrong. I have a spare for one of them so I will change it out and try again. But that is the last idea I can come up with.
* Note: There is no spark even going to the wire as I am just trying to feed the wire and it breaks.* Mits tech was just out a few weeks ago and went through everything and it was fine then. UuGGG
Any ideas welcome
