Hello
I have been welding for 8 years now. IMig & Tig weld Mild steel Stainless Steel and Aluminum! My Machine at home is a linclon wirematic 250 it has an internal roll fed lead and a spool "on" gun The funnie thing is both my internal lead and the spool gun have a reach of 20 feet but my Ground is only 6 feet long. We use alot of Millers and some antique Air Pro s at work! I started welding at a local mufflershop and then after that I welded strictural steel for a few yeas them some Aluminum welding and now I am welding up parts for Agricutural and road matenence equiptment! I would guess that I have laid down aproxamatly 200 to 400 miles of bead in my life! and that is all that I have for now

I have the same problem with an earth lead (mine is 3 feet long now). Annoying isn't it when you have spend time arranging the torch to avoid kinks, although I suppose it's not so bad when you have a spool gun.

So what do you at home with the Lincoln? That looks like a Cobra body in your avatar.

I use the Spool gun for Aluminum and I use the internal fed lead for stainless & Mild Steel so I have the same problem keeping it strait. that is a Neglected Cobra body that I hope to have going some day before I die I usually use my welder at home to keep my jeep going! have made a few truck racks for customers but mostly for repairs around here! Some day I want to start my own shop. I hate having a bunch of office people costing me money in the end!!! I can go shake the bush for work myself and keep uncle sam and the bank happy too if you know what I mean.
