More of a concern with external wire feeders than enclosed ones 19662 but. . .

lube on the wire = lube on the drive rolls = pick up dust and particles = transfer of crude to wire = dirty liner. As for just keeping the wire clean - foam ear plugs. Stick the wire through one and let it run up against the wire guide.

I figure if welder manufacturers thought their gun liners needed lubrication they would have equipped the welder with a wire lubricator from the start. Just my opinion.

Pretty much my sentiments. Plus there's a certain amount of lube already on the wire straight out of the factory

All I ever have to do is to take the liner off the machine, and blow it out with compressed air from the gun end. Amazing how much crud comes out. I think a lot of it would stay in the liner if you added oil to the mix
