In this review, the author shows how to make a welding cable with your own hands. And not an ordinary cable, but especially flexible.
The most important thing is to find the internal "filling" - a copper "cord" of the required section. It is desirable that the cores themselves are not very thick.
Copper wire can be taken from an old welding cable or elsewhere. As the saying goes: "he who seeks will always find."
What to use for wire insulation
As an outer sheath - wire insulation, the author recommends using a soft silicone hose.
Moreover, it is desirable to choose for this heat-resistant cambric, which is covered with a layer of silicone rubber. Such a hose is quite flexible and does not become a stake in the cold.
To put on a protective sheath on a copper sinewy wire, it is necessary to attach a rigid steel wire to one end of the wire and pull it through the hose.
After you pass the wire through the silicone hose, it remains only to connect the quick-detachable connectors for the welding machine, the mass-clothespin and the electrode holder (holder).
For details on how to make a very flexible welding cable with your own hands, we recommend that you look in the video on our website.
