$3.70/foot for 2/0 welding cable?

admin

Comes out to a little over $700 for 200 feet of welding cable. Sound right? Too expensive?Ranger 305gMillermatic 140 AutosetDewalt Chopsaw2 grindersMy Fists

Reply:Copper isn't cheap.  If you get leads and put them on a truck, keep them out of sight.  A lesson learned the hard way....Thieves will find them.  Company I worked for up north had the lead stolen off the truck, on locked reels...I guess the thief cut the cable into 12" sections...Gotta be pretty desperate to go to those lengths...
Reply:Sounds like your on the high end of retail price. I'd run a couple of "WANTED" ads and see if you can find good uses leads at 50% of retail.... That's sorta a rule of thumb.Here's some for $1.92 / ft.http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/tls/3242642098.htmlSearch your local CL ----Thanks,HoboLast edited by hobohilton; 09-11-2012 at 09:53 AM.Lincoln SA200's... at least 15 - 20.

Reply:http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-Foot-of-...4&cmd=ViewItemHere is a guy on fulton industrial blvd outside atlanta that sells used cable pretty cheap.  I was supposed to swing by friday to look over his inventory, but got caught up.  He claims to have plenty to sell of both 1/0 and 2/0...shipping is included in his ebay prices.Smithboy...if it ain't broke, you ain't tryin'.
