We move our migs around a lot.  I would like to see some ideas for wrapping your cables and cords when moving from one spot to another.  We are using Miller 210s.Is there a good Miller Blue in a spray can that matches fairly close?

Reply:large diameter pipe with flange cut in half (4"+) works good for cables too.There are no problems. There are only solutions. It's your duty to determine the right one.Hobart Handler 210Airco 225 Amp MSM Stinger
Reply:You could cut the center out of a smaller car rim make it a box u can store spare parts in and hand the cables over it too.

Reply:Here's a cheap way out for the rims.  It would take anything to scotchbrite and clean up if you wanted to paint it.  The split wheels would give you 2 for 1 if you designed it right.http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...ct_25239_25239http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...0342_200330342http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...0324_200330324http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...0328_200330328I'm thinking you could do a larger wheel on one side for the extension cord, and smaller one on the other side for ground and gun.Last edited by Crabo; 01-22-2013 at 12:41 AM.
Reply:Originally Posted by MarkBall2If you wind it too tight, the liner gets kinked & requires changing.  On a MIG gun/cable, you want a long loop & no tension on where it exits the machine to avoid those pesky kinks.And, how would the wire feed through the gun if it was attached to a reel?

Reply:Originally Posted by greenbuggyAlternatively, put the whole feeder assembly (motor, gearbox, wire spool) in the center of the hub and connect the mig cable/torch assy as you would normally then wrap around the hub.
Reply:I bent up these simple lightweight brackets for all 3 of my machines and attached with self-tappers. Since I do lots of mobile work...these make everything easy to transport without any kinking whatsoever. Attached Images

Reply:i have my mig machine inside a rolling cart/wagon with a lockable door. when i get to the job site it goes on top. after- back inside, i roll the cables around the machine, put the power extensions on top after i roll them up. there is also room for a small fire extinguisher. on the inside of the door i mounted a holder for anti-spatter spray, wire cutters and a few contact tips. there is a pic of it elsewhere on this forum under the projects thread.i.u.o.e. # 15queens, ny and sunny fla

Reply:Rust-o-leum sells "sail blue" at Home Depot and lowes in a "rattle can."  Looks very close to Miller blue.Lincoln Power Mig 216Lincoln AC/DC-225/125Miller  625 X-Treme PlasmaMiller 211 Forney 95FI-A 301HF 91110Victor Journeyman O/PMilwaukee DaytonMakita  Baileigh NRA Life Member
