    Abimig AT 455 FAQs

    Straight answers to common questions about choosing, setting up and looking after a heavy-duty water-cooled MIG torch with interchangeable necks.

    When do I need a water-cooled MIG torch rather than an air-cooled one?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A water-cooled torch has a coolant circuit running through the handle, neck and cable, which carries heat away from the torch. That lets it handle higher currents and longer arc-on times than a similar-sized air-cooled torch, so it is the usual choice for heavy fabrication, thick material and production welding.

    The trade-off is that it needs a matching water cooler, coolant hoses and a little more routine checking. If your welding is mostly short runs at moderate current, a simpler air-cooled torch is normally enough. Check the maker's current and duty cycle ratings against the work you actually do.

    How do I choose the right torch length?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Choose the shortest cable that still lets you reach the work comfortably. A longer cable gives more freedom, but it also gives the wire more friction to overcome and more chance of kinks and tight coils, which leads to feeding problems and faster wear of the cable and liner.

    If you need to work a long way from the wire feeder, it is often better to move the feeder closer to the job than to fit a very long torch. Think about the biggest area you will cover from one feeder position, then pick the shortest length that covers it.

    How do I choose the right neck angle and length?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The neck is the curved tube at the front of the torch. A bent neck helps you reach into corners and keep a comfortable angle to the joint, while a straighter neck suits open, flat work. Common angles run from fairly shallow to quite steep, and a longer neck gives extra reach into restricted joints.

    Comfort matters too. The handle shape and your own height can make one angle feel better than another, so a moderate angle is a sensible starting point. Choose the neck that lets you hold the torch at the right angle to the joint without twisting your wrist.

    Why is my wire feeding badly, and could the liner be the cause?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Poor feeding is very often down to the liner. A liner that has been trimmed too long or too short, is clogged with dirt and swarf, or is the wrong size for the wire can cause chattering feed, a ragged arc, burn-back and the wire tangling at the drive rolls (bird-nesting).

    When fitting a new liner, follow the maker's instructions on trimming it to length, ideally with the cable laid out straight, and use the right size for your wire. Also check the contact tip size and wear, the drive roll pressure and any sharp bends in the cable before blaming the wire itself.
