I MIG 200E work clamp cable

admin

I have the Power I-Mig 200E. The work (ground) cable is kind of short and I would like to get a longer one. Manual says its a DINSE 25 connector. My local Everlast dealer says they do not sell any longer cables. Where can I purchase a longer work cable, and exactly which connector do I need as I've seen that DINSE 25 connectors can be 3/8" or 1/2". I've measured the connector and it's would be closer to 3/8" but not exactly.
Reply:Any welding supply store sells cable.  You don't need a new connector. I guess you may not realize that the DINSE connector comes apart and the cable is held in by a set screw?  This is S.O.P. if you wan to lengthen your cables.  Pull your boot off the DINSE and undo the cable. Put a lug on the other end for the work clamp (avaialble at any local welding supply store as well) and reattach it.  Dinse 25 cables are only 3/8" (nominal, but not exact), not 1/2.  By the way, the rule of thumb is no more than 2/3 the length of your MIG gun for work. This is fairly standard recommendation throughout the industry.Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT
