A welding attachment device (10) for guiding a consumable welding electrode (16) along a general length after exiting a contact tip (40). The attachment device (10) includes a body having a first end adapted for attachment to the contact tip (40). The body has an interior wall (42) defining a central bore (44) for guiding the consumable welding electrode (16) during electrode extension welding applications so that the consumable electrode (16) may be accurately positioned with respect to a welding location. The interior wall (42) prevents the consumable electrode (16) from wandering and collapsing due to softening caused by internal heat build up. |
