Product Number: 70084
A 0 — 8mm mig wire on a 5kg spool, the Draper 70084 delivers consistent deposition in flux-cored gasless MIG applications — no shielding gas required. Low alloy self-shielding wire. 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. Also referred to as a mild steel mig wire or welding wire spool in the welding trade.
Additional Information:
Made from mild steel. Flux cored 0.8mm gasless wire supplied as a 5kg spool. Low alloy self-shielding wire. Suitable for use with most MIG welders.

A. Suitable for mid-range and professional MIG welders with 5kg spool capacity — compatible with most SIP, Sealey, Draper, Clarke and CROSARC MIG machines. 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 70084 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 70084 is a flux-cored gasless wire — no shielding gas is required. Flux-cored wire works without gas — ideal for outdoor or site welding where gas coverage would be disrupted by wind.
A. E71T-GS (self-shielded, gasless) is designed for single-pass welds on mild steel without shielding gas — ideal for site work, outdoor welding, and machines without a gas supply. E71T-1 (gas-shielded flux-cored) is a multi-pass grade for heavier fabrication, used with CO2 or Argon/CO2 shielding. The A5.20 classification covers both types. For most DIY and light fabrication gasless welding, E71T-GS provides the best balance of ease-of-use and weld quality.
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. Suitable for mid-range and professional MIG welders with 5kg spool capacity — compatible with most SIP, Sealey, Draper, Clarke and CROSARC MIG machines. Confirm your machine accepts a 5kg spool and uses a 0.8mm bore contact tip before loading this wire.
