Stuart,
I can't thank you enough for the info. I'm currently in a welding class (about 3/4 way through) and haven’t heard about this technique at all. I like the idea, and I'll ask about it in tomorrow’s class.

I just checked there site and found this . .

Comes Complete With
. . .
Two contact tips for .024 in (0.6 mm) wire and two contact tips for .030 in (0.8 mm) wire
Dual groove quick-change drive roll for .024 in (0.6 mm) or .030/.035 in (0.8/0.9 mm) wire
-----------------------------------------------

Does the "or .030/.035" mean it can handle up to .035 wire??? It sounds like it might.
