XR Aluma Pro Gun

[Aluminum Man]

Can any one tell me what contact tip I need for .035 aluminum wire
The numbers on the tips are confusing.
For example I have a tip labled .035 .030 AL
Can this tip be used for both .035 and .030 aluminum wire
or should it be used only for .030 wire and the .035 means the exact hole size in the tip ?

I think I should be using a tip labled .040 .035 AL

Well you can follow the internet myth and run a bigger tip or you can run the .035 tip that is already .010-.014 over the .035 which is right...Bob
