14 gauge std. I didn't try a 12 gauge in the slot but I think it might be to big. you might be able to use the side screw terminals for the 12.

Any size. If log is bigger than will feed into cutter, shave it down until it will go in. I did not have good results from this tool, but apparently some others like it. Good luck.

I believe it was an 8.5" barrel. But I had already read the suggestions of upgrading the barrel so I purchased a 14" barrel.

Notifications are off... Read Matt's comment. As far as I know the barrel wall thickness is the same for all 12-gauge barrels so you would have to sand down the bottom of the screws for it to clear your muzzle. Then locktite in place as he said. Sorry for late reply.

The tap threaded section is 1 3/4 inches in length and the total tap length is 3 5/8 inches. The tap length to the base of where you chuck it is 3 inches.

I found the YHM barrel nut on brownells and Bruce is right. This is the nut http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/stock-forend-parts/forend-hardware/forend-nuts/ar-15-forend-barrel-nut-jam-nut-prod54002.aspx That may help you find the right tool

Here's deal, mosin barrel must be cut,recrowned and threaded to 5/8-24 to install. I've used this on 2 mosins I cut down 1 at 18" and 1 at 24"

The kit I bought was a spark plug kit and the tap measures 3 3/8". They make a kit specifically for head bolts. http://www.timesert.com/html/universalheadbolt.html

The pipe is a separate purchase - from your local plumbers merchant. Ask for 3/4 inch gas barrel and cut it to the lengths you require. You will need a 3/4 inch BSP (British Standard Gas) thread die to cut the threads on one end of each length of pipe you have cut. You could ask a friendly gas fitter to thread them for you. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you wish to. Good luck, Jack Cluer.

I used a 5/16 drill bit and a 1/8th inch pipe thread tap to get the threads started, do not thread the tap in to deep just about 3 threads that way the hole won't be to big. I am sure their are other ways to do it, this is what works for me.

I you use a tail stock MT2 that will make it dificult to turn the tap into a chucked work peice and a live center in the tail stock to hold the tap while turning it with a wrench works beat for me.

The 1" x 8 is 0.525 across the flats. Obviously, you will need one to open a bi more. I use my tap in. Wood lathe, meaning that the part is chucked and the head stock locked. The tap is set in position to start and the point of the tail stock pressed into the centering hole on the flats end of the tap. I then use an adjustable crescent wrench to turn the tap while advancing the tail stock to feed and keep pressure on the tap. This is a bit of a dance as my tail stock is 10 TPI and the tap is 8 TPI.JUST DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU DON't REALLY WANT A 1.250 x 8 TPI TAP!!

This is what I would do. Go to the hardware store, get a brass spigot a couple of plastic or rubber gaskets (washers) and a nut that fits the back of the spigot and install it on the barrel. I hope you received the plug that goes into the extra hole. good luck

you can use argon and ..030 wire would be a good choice and the gun does come with both .030 and .035 contact tips..035 wire might be better for the 1/4"

tap is about 2.5" plus wrench, you can use adjustable wrench in lieu of tap wrench making the tap no longer. Installation tool is about 3" long.

I have the 6mm insert and the insert tool is 4.25 inches, the tap is 2.25 inches and the actual coil is .25 inches, you will have to convert to cm. I hope that helps an inch is 2.54 cm so int might not work for you unless the tool can be cut down and turned with vise grips instead of a handle. Good luck.
