Reply:ok, i heard that it can screw up a good weld but thats good to know!!
Reply:WOW, that's a long distance. That would be fun at the end of day to gather up.
Reply:700' _is_ a lot.  hmm.  A lot of $$ too!  I've ran a max of about 400'.  Welded fine.[edit] I have ran over 700' before, but I didn't string it out or roll it back up.  It was at a Coal Fired Power Plant exhaust stack about 497' 11" in the air, and the welder wasn't right at the base, it was out a ways.  Was too unsafe to fly a 1,000lb welder onto a constantly moving concrete slip-form.
