I'm using a SIP Migmate Pro 170DP Turbo for welding aluminium. I have the proper Teflon liner in the (Euro) torch but I am getting faltering wire feeding and occasional poor contact in the tip; looking at the wire, it's got an embossed pattern on it from the feed roll which has a knurled groove in the 0.8mm position (using 0.8mm wire). I would like to replace the feed roll with a proper 'U' groove roll but the manual's spare parts list is a joke (it simply shows a diagram with the larger items inside the welder) and has no part numbers; anyone know if a proper parts list exists for the Migmate, where I could buy a spare feed roll or if it's possible to fit parts from another make (seeing as these are made in Italy in a factory that makes at least 2 other brands of MIG)? TIA, Martin.
