Looking for some ideas on how to build reels.

admin

I have a new utility box on my truck, well an entire new truck for that matter. I want to build reels for it and am having a hard time coming up with the best solution..To make things easy, I have chose not to make the reels hot..I want to drop the door, grab what I need, and start walking. When I get to my work area, I walk back to the truck and plug everything in. That way there is no issue with free wheeling connections.I want to have, 1/0 Work, 1/0 stinger, 110 tri plug, and OA hoses.My first thought was to build a skid that sat inside of the box, yesterday I came up with the idea to use the existing shelving brackets and basically hang a pipe across it and have the reels free spin on the pipe.. Possibly shift from one side to the other. Kind of like those giant filing cabinets that walk and butt up to each other. Each reel will need a small handle to roll back up manually.Ideas are mostly welcome but my main issue is how tight of diameter should I roll the 1/0 leeds? what would be reasonable without causing damage? Currently my leeds are 100 footers (then throw a 15 foot stinger on it), and so is my tri-plug, obviously the OA would be that way also.Pictures and dimensions of leeds, 10/3 extension cords, and OA line would be super helpful to understand just how big things are when wrapped tightly. I have included a picture of my current storage.. Laugh..Thanks. Attached Images14' PowerMig 210 MP13'Burntables 5x10 CNC Table14' SAE300 HE on a 12' Ram 4500 60 CA 4x4.

Reply:Look above the threads at the bar with the search feature in it. open up the box and type in lead reels & open that. This one is the first one on the second page, so you get lots of info doing that.http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...ght=lead+reelsOnly when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.                                         -Cree Indian ProverbSA 200 LincolnVictor Torches
