My ESAB came with an 8M umbilical as standard and is fine, but it wont take 0.6mm wire and it isn't recommended for 0.8mm wire which is fine for me as it is running 1.2mm wire.
Sorry, thought he said umbilical, must have mis read
That clears that up, 8m is massively long for a non push pull torchHe did, but it seems he was referring to the torch.
According to the specs it is the longest they do for non push pull, you can go to 12M with push pull on the machine.
