Product Number: WER1165
A 0 — 6mm ER70S-6 SG2 MIG wire on a 5kg spool, the Weldfast WER1165 is the preferred wire for CROSARC MIG welders — this is the house brand wire designed and recommended for the CROSARC machine range. Compatible with: CROSARC CAP0253 and CAP0254 (and 2 more) The ER70S-6 SG2 grade delivers reliable deposition on mild steel with good arc stability and a clean weld profile. Use with CO2 or Argon/CO2 mix shielding gas and a 0 — 6mm bore contact tip. Match your torch liner bore to 0 — 6mm for consistent wire feed. The 5kg spool fits all CROSARC machines with a standard 5kg spool capacity. 8mm mig wire, welding wire spool. Also found under mig welding wire, mild steel mig wire, 0 — 8mm mig wire in the PartsForMachines.com welding range.
Additional Information:
WELDMIG ER70S-6 is a copper coated mild steel welding wire suitable for welding low and medium tensile steels.

A. Compatible with: CROSARC CAP0253 and CAP0254 (and 2 more) The spool size is the critical compatibility factor — check your machine accepts a 5kg spool before ordering.
A. 0.6mm MIG wire is specifically suited to thin sheet metal under 1.5mm thick — body panels, sheet metal, and fine fabrication. For general fabrication from 1.5mm to 6mm, 0.8mm wire is the all-purpose choice. 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 0.6mm wire, fit 0.6mm 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 CROSARC WER1165 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 CROSARC WER1165 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 CROSARC WER1165 is ER70S — suitable for general MIG welding of mild steel.
A. For 0.6mm 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 0.6mm wire at the top of your machine's output range, monitor torch temperature and allow adequate cooling intervals.
A. Essential accessories include a welding helmet, leather gauntlets, an earth clamp, and consumables for your welding process — wire and gas for MIG, electrodes for ARC/MMA, tungsten and gas for TIG. A wire brush and chipping hammer are needed for post-weld cleanup. A welding cart keeps your machine mobile.
A. Compatible with: CROSARC CAP0253 and CAP0254 (and 2 more) Confirm your machine accepts a 5kg spool and uses a 0.6mm bore contact tip before loading this wire.
