It arrived Friday. Looks to be brand new, but slightly older stock.
Seller might have bought some inventory from a store at auction or the
like. Stuff was dusty.

Actually, I had done this prior to using the grinding disk, so I guess I'm
ok. It just didn't look as good as I was hoping after using the brush, so
I switched over.

Please log in for more thread options My Lincoln 175 SP Plus has varying statements on .035 wire. It depends on
where you look. I finally bought a roll of FCAW wire and ran it, and it
ran. On .030 rollers, too. I like to just put in a .045 liner, not in the
book, not on the chart, but available from Lincoln, and even Lincoln says it
will work. A .045 liner will outlast all others because of the extra
diameter.

No.
The machine can't handle dual-shield wire that large.
That is why harris makes the tiny 0.030" stuff.
Also the gun would melt down from the welding current.
