[TheForge] Tidying up welding leads

Thu Aug 28 06:20:01 2003

        Shannel, The cost of the rewinding reels headed me looking for truck
rim spacers to wrap the leeds around.  They work well for welding, water,
plasma, electric, torch hose, etc.
        Another great trick(and wicked cheap too) is to use the little ball
0 bungee's to tie the leeds and cords up with.........you just grab the
bundle near the bungee and it comes up without sections of the other
bundles.  Try them, you'll like them.
        I wrote an article about this very subject six years ago and posted
it to the Metal Web News.  Check it out under "leed Rack".
        The bungee cords were a newer find. :-)
        There's also articles there on wire feed enclosure.......for
covering the "arm" idea.
