termanals WTF

you all must buy the cheapo welding cable. my flex-o-prene 1/0 cable is not 4ga by far.
and these lugs > all others //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

True that. Flex-o-prene is the one exception I have found. I use it on all my welding equipment. Heavy as hell to carry up staging though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

yeah, the shit's heavy as fawk //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

but it's the best i've found as far as welding cable (and i get it for teh low //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif)

If that thicker welding cable in your picture is what you are talking about then yea, It's way bigger than the chunk I have.

where do you get ones like that i always go to an elecrician store and buy 3/0 aluminum set screw style battery or bolt terminals. i dont like the fact that they have .01mohm resistance on them, (surface area i think makes up for it though)

i dont remember what the measure of resistance was be we learned in ele. eng. a peice of copper and a peice of aluminum the same size hand a great verying resistance the copper=4.5 and the aluminum=17.8.

personally, i get them from my dad. he gets them from work. where they get them... IDK.

but i bet you could find them (or similar) at a welding supply store. they aren't called "terminals" they are "welding lugs"

oh, and these go up to 4/0

So kolossus is even bigger than the KLMX?

 

[PioneerSPL1990 10+ year member]

ok. it kind pisses me off that the place i get my stuff from, everything electric, has little to no copper lugs or terminals. only small sh*t i can get at any of the 6 hardware stores around.

Can you post a link of where to get those. I searched and didn't find really anything close to those lugs you had.

 

[jco1385 5,000+ posts]

i'm looking right now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

like i said, i don't buy them online so IDK if you can get them online. but i'll see what i can find

 

[PioneerSPL1990 10+ year member]

I have bought those types of copper connectors at Home Depot before. They are taxing as hell though. IIRC they were like $5 for a two pack of 2 awg sized ones.

 

[PioneerSPL1990 10+ year member]

yeah the aluminum ones i buy cosr $2.49 each.
