I have plenty of 0.6mm and 0.8mm MIG tips, but no 0.9mm tips for use with Gassless wire. How big is the hole in a 0.9mm tip (Ie 0.9 + clearance) ?
Also, my local stockist for gas only supplies a gas mix of 86%Argon / 14% CO2. Is this OK for:-
1/ welding mild steel
2/ welding stainless steel (non critical items) with a stainless wire

Gas should be good for steel ,dont know about stainless .. Hell ,i've run a broach through a 0 .6 tip to use on 0.8 wire before now ,on a sunday when the shops are shut . Pretty loose , otherwise it jams and birdsnests in the welder ! Heads Up ! Toolstation doing big screen auto SIP mask for £34 and they're good !
Perhaps I didn't explain enough. 0.9mm tip for gas less wire and gas for Standard wire (0.6mm & 0.8mm). I have to swap the cables about between Gas and Gas less wires.
Thanks for replies.

Answering my own question,
0.8mm wire runs through a .8mm tip which has a hole diameter of 1.0 mm Drill #60
0.9mm wire runs through a .9mm tip which has a hole diameter of 1.12mm Drill #56 approx
