MIG WELDER BIRD NEST 🪺 PROBLEM SOLVED How did it take this long???

PROBLEM SOLVED ! HOW DID NOBODY KNOW UNTIL NOW? This is my best tip to avoid the dreaded Bird Nest in your Mig welder . I Adjust the drive roll pressure just enough to drive the wire , and allow slippage when the wire becomes obstructed. This will save you a ton of time and frustration. Starting and stopping every time the tip gets jammed and clearing a bird nest can really become annoying. This will help reduce or hopefully eliminate this problem . Especially helpful for smaller wire like .030 or smaller .

I am a beginner using .025 Mig wire on my MIllermatic. Your tip has been so helpful. I spent way too much time on bird nest. Thank you!

Thanks! for the video but im not understanding what doing, Are you just letting the drive rolls to spin to clean the wire or to see if there's not enuff tension?
