nozzles for my 'ancient' K&K (bernard) MIG gun are offered in brass,
and, for more money, copper (apparently, they're otherwise the excat
same, dimensionally, and otherwise). I assume there must be a reason
they're offered in TWO metals, but, what *IS* the reason? does copper
last longer? steel mig wire stick to it less? or maybe not at all?
see the MIG gun itself here:

nozzle "inner parts" closeups and stuff here:

also, this bernard MIG gun came on (with) my (possibly even MORE
ancient) airco dip-pak 200 MIG welder. I called bernard with these
questions, but a young 'college age' sounding chick answered my
questions - at least one of the answers later proved wrong. SO, I'm
going to ask here:
is this K&K MIG gun called an "E-Z feed" gun? or called a "Q-200" gun,
or, possibly "neither of the two", but something else again. what is it?
I do know this gun (as received) uses Bernard eccentric tips - it came
with ONE tiny, short one in it...
re K&K: on this page, it says "BERNARD is also responsible for the sales
and distribution of K&K Welding Products."
http://www.ferrex.com/catalog/wldprod.html
so, it seems K&K isn't simply a 'bernard clone brand'. but what do I know?
anybody know what era, or year, my particular MIG gun was MADE? it also
doesn't use the (so-called, short) "gun-end liners" ("jump liners", I
think they're called)
also, MY gun came with one diffuser, the one in the gun, which has no
printing or ID marks on it whatsoever (so I assume it's some clone brand
part). it's a damn UGLY, scratched-up UGLY-looking thing:

the -outer nozzle DOES say bernard on it, and has the number of the nozzle,

http://machines.2x.nu/dip-pak200_MIG_day1/photos/photo65.html
so I assume 'real' bernard. the diffuser (that came in it) held the one
'short' eccentric tip.
on ebay, I bought, and hope to use with this, new bernard diffuser 4235,
and some 'long, 1500 series' tips. these ARE useable with, or "in" this
gun, correct?
"golden plus points" to anyone who call sell me some of the feed rollers
for this MIG. you can see images of the (poor, lonely, still single
after all these years) feed roll I have for it HERE:

thanks for any and ALL info you guys can provide for me, and for any
help identifying this gun 'trade name' or 'model type', what I can and
can't 'use with" it, nozzles and eccentric-tips wise, that sort of thing.
much appreciated, thanks. |
