Welding Tips and Tricks

I am looking for a narrow tip and nozzle, 030 wire, like the Bernard TT Series that will fit or can be adapted to fit the Miller M-100 gun on the MM211. I have had a couple of jobs where the welds are in tight places and the standard M-100 nozzle is just too big. Miller only lists one nozzle for this gun.

I just don’t do enough of this “tight place” welding to justify buying a Bernard gun. Ideas, suggestions?

I don't know if it applies to your application, but I've put a nozzle in the vice to "oblong" it, so it has a narrow axis for tight quarters. A better homemade solution might be to section out wedges of the nozzle to narrow it and TIG or maybe silver-solder it back up, but that's a lot of work if you can find the right item or the first suggestion doesn't help.

Yeah I've had a few tight places I had to get into with mig but couldn't. So, as long as the WPS didn't exclude SMAW, I would be forced to use stick in some of tight places to get the job done. That was the simplest way to go. Then after coming out of the tight squeezed corner area, I'd go back to mig. Works for me.
