Stick lead?

admin

Someone gave me an old miller generator powered welder but it has no leads.  I was wondering what type of cable I would need to make my own?  Or if it is not a good idea to do so?Thank You!

Reply:The Bible has a very good chart for figuring length/gauge/amps.Your own LWS should have the equivalent sort of information.Welding leads are pretty purpose made cables.  The insulation/coating is resistant to abrasion, heat, and work well at extreme temperatures.  Buy lead made to function as lead.  Used lead is available too, look to your local paper and Craigslist"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
