I'm after the dimensions for the common MIG reels (~0.8Kg, 5Kg and 15Kg) and was hoping the good people on here would be able to help 
Apologies if this is available elsewhere but I've searched on the interwebs and I end up with things like www.alloywire.com/wire_spools_argon_mig.html, which is just confusing. Searching on the forum gets a few results but they're all "does x size reel fit on my machine?"
I know that d0 is 50mm for 5Kg and 15Kg reels but I don't know if d1 differs. I'm trying to work out whether I can use a 15Kg reel on my machine when I convert the holder or whether 5Kg is the max. I thought I'd mention the hobby reel size as well so if anyone else has this question then this thread will be of use to them.
Many thanks!
