Product Number: 29291
Variations
A 0 — 8mm mig wire on a 5kg spool, the Draper 29291 delivers consistent deposition in steel MIG applications. 0 — 8mm wire supplied as a 700g spool. For welding mild and medium tensile steels for impact toughness down to -20℃. An essential mig welding wire for any professional welding setup, stocked for fast UK delivery. Match contact tip bore to wire diameter and check your machine's spool capacity before ordering. Wire diameter selection depends on material thickness: 0 — 6mm for sheet under 1 — 5mm, 0 — 8mm for general fabrication from 1 — 5mm to 6mm, and 1 — 0mm or above for heavier sections. 8mm welding. Also referred to as a mild steel mig wire or welding wire spool in the welding trade.
Additional Information:
Made from copper coated mild steel. 0.8mm wire supplied as a 700g spool. For welding mild and medium tensile steels for impact toughness down to -20℃. Suitable for use with most MIG welders.

A. Compatible with: Draper 71092 and 71095 (and 9 more) The spool size is the critical compatibility factor — check your machine accepts a 5kg spool before ordering.
A. 0.8mm MIG wire is the all-purpose choice for material from about 1.5mm to 6mm thick. For thin sheet under 1.5mm, 0.6mm wire is more controllable. For heavier sections above 6mm, 1.0mm or 1.2mm wire with higher amperage is more productive.
A. Yes — always match contact tip bore to wire diameter. If you're moving to 0.8mm wire, fit 0.8mm bore contact tips. Running mismatched tip and wire sizes causes arc instability, burn-back and excessive spatter regardless of how well the machine is set up.
A. The Draper 29291 is wound on a 5kg spool. Check your machine's spool capacity in the specifications — compact and entry-level MIG welders often accept up to 5kg only. Industrial machines accept 15kg. Fitting an oversized spool risks damaging the wire feed mechanism.
A. The Draper 29291 is a solid MIG wire requiring shielding gas. Use CO2 or Argon/CO2 mix (typically 75/25 or 80/20) for mild steel. Pure Argon is used for aluminium and stainless applications.
A. ER70S-6 (US classification) and A18 (BS 2901) are equivalent grades of mild steel MIG wire — one of the most commonly used grades for structural and general fabrication. ER70S-6 has higher silicon and manganese content for better wetting on mildly contaminated surfaces. The Draper 29291 is a standard mild steel grade — suitable for general MIG welding of mild steel.
A. For 0.8mm wire, start with your voltage at the mid-range for your material thickness (typically 16–20V for 3mm steel), then adjust wire speed until the arc sounds smooth with minimal spatter — like frying bacon. Fine-tune inductance if your machine has it: more inductance softens the arc for thin sheet; less gives a crisper arc for out-of-position work.
A. Yes — thicker wire typically requires higher voltage and current settings, which increases heat load on the machine and reduces available duty cycle. If you're running 0.8mm wire at the top of your machine's output range, monitor torch temperature and allow adequate cooling intervals.
A. Check your machine's specification for the accepted wire diameter range (typically 0.6mm-1.2mm for MIG) or electrode diameter range (typically 1.6mm-4.0mm for ARC/MMA). The machine's output amperage determines the maximum electrode size it can run — higher amperage machines handle thicker electrodes.
A. Compatible with: Draper 71092 and 71095 (and 9 more) Confirm your machine accepts a 5kg spool and uses a 0.8mm bore contact tip before loading this wire.
