Century Aluminum Liner - where?

Jul 16, 2003 4 Replies

I am in search of a Teflon coated liner for my Century 160 MIG. I have been playing with aluminum (0.030") and I think I can do it nicely if I get the right liner for my gun and tube. I've been using it all day with my steel liner and the darn wire keeps bunching up at the push wheel (I think that is called "birds nesting). I only do this for fun but am trying my darndest to learn to do it the right way.



Any help or links to sites with Century parts and supplies will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.....


I had a Century 125GS and it had a Tweco gun so their liner should work but ask first to be sure. Try Welding Depot at:

They'll probably have something that will work.

If not try

Thanks, Keith. I though that was so because I have a new steel and aluminum liner made by Tweco but they are both for a larger gun/cable and won't quite fit. They look like the one I have but a little larger in diameter. Too bad too because both are new and I can't use either.

I will investigate further as you advise. Thanks again....

I may do that and thanks again for the suggestion. Here are the part numbers in case anyone here wants to make me a reasonable offer:

ProFax for Aluminum MIG - PX 44N3545-15 (0.035) Tweco for Steel MIG Part No. 42-3035-15 Tweco Stock No. 1420-1113 (0.030 - 0.035 Dia. wire)

Both are new - the Aluminum conduit is opened but never used (doesn't fit)
