I have the Imig 200 and I pretty sure they use the same gun. I use lincoln tips that you get at home depot.Quote:

The IMIG 205 I have used maybe a year, straight er70, never a problem (use it almost everyday). Tips you can get about anywhere. Even Harbor Freight has them, though they are like 200 amp contact tips (the 15 style) they work fine.Quote:

Hope that helps.
what gun is it that came with the 205 ,i think it is the binzel type but not sure also what size nozzle is it that comes with mig gun from everlast ?
We did ship Team Binzel (AK15 on the 200, AK25 on the 205 and 250).Quote:

I still have an AK-15 on the IMIG-200.
so when i order a nozzle for my gun i want to use the same size came with it as i like size ,its not to small or to big so i need to order ak25?I ordered some from river-weld and it was the mb-15 style and was to small.
If you have an IMIG over 200 (205/250) then you need a 25, yes, the 15 is small and will not fit. You can use the 15 contact tips though, but I would stay with all 25 parts in the event you wanna run wide open.Quote:

The MB25 and MB24 MIG guns appear to have different part numbers for all consumables.Quote:

The MB25 MIG gun uses longer nozzles and tips etc but the MB24 has a higher amperage rating.
Like I mentioned, for the nozzle, get Jean at everlastwelders.ca and she can get you to parts that fit.
I'm pretty sure I have swapped the AK25 (binzel) with the Euro25 (trafamet), and I think they have an insulator in them. Be she can get you a set. Also you can PM Oleg as well if you are in the US.
On the contact tips, HF, Lincoln, they will all work, just note they are not all rated for the full power of the machine. I've never had a problem with them.
If you need an alternate source, this website seems to have a pretty robust selection. The Binzel part numbers are found in the links. I've ordered from them in the past and had good experiences.
