2.2.1.2 Wire straightener
The wire straightener is intended to reduce the bend (“cast”) in the welding wire to
prevent wire flip, which causes the weld to deviate from its intended track.
With the wirefeed conduit disconnected from the wirefeeder, the wire straightener
is inserted into the wirefeed motor, oriented, and adjusted to attain a 60–70"
(1,524–1,778 mm) cast.

The wire straightener can be used only with the shop style wirefeeder.
2.2.2 Mounting accessories
2.2.2.1 Radial mounts (5–10") (127–254 mm)
The radial mount accessory is used to distance the center line of the BoreWelder
away from the mounting rod. This is helpful when building up large diameter
bores or pins. The mount is also used when the accessory attached needs radial
clearance to rotate without hitting the mounting rod. Two lengths are available: 5–
10" (127–254 mm).
2.2.2.2 Mounting rod extender
The mounting rod extender is used with the mounting rod to extend its length. This
item is commonly used when using the face, conical, or trammel torch to provide
axial clearance between the BoreWelder and the part.
2.2.3 BoreWelder accessories
2.2.3.1 Slow rotation pulley and belt
The slow rotation pulley and belt are fitted to the BoreWelder rotation drive when
the diameter to be welded is over 27" (686 mm) in diameter. When these parts are
installed, the rotation speed (spindle speed) is 50 percent of the original speed. The
final output spindle speed allows welding of diameters from 1.75–54" (44–1,372
mm).
