Are MIG Contact Tips interchangeable?

It’s highly recommended that to match the contact tip size to the wire size with your MIG gun. Likewise, contact tip threads come in a range of sizes from M6 to M12. These sizes are entirely dependent of the contact tip holder size, but the thread sizes correlate directly to the rating of the MIG gun.

What sizes do the contact tips come in?

Contact tips typically come in one of four recess measurements, ranging from ¼-inch in to ⅛ -inch out. A flush recess (meaning even with the exterior) is a good choice if you’re using gas with a low argon concentration, or 100% CO2 gas. A ⅛ inch extension is best for hard-to-reach joints.
