My century 125 GL has steel feed wheels. It only acted up once, when the wire birdnested before I knew what was going on and caused the welder to shutdown. Removed the nest and the thing was fine.
My migs only draw back is that sometimes the inner spiral liner shifts and will make those birdnests and then I have to take it apart and reset it. Other than that, its great.
If money grew on trees, well, I'd replace it.
Anyone had any experience with the HTP rigs? they look impressive enough...
