you may be able to fit a larger spool of wire on your welder, cheaper and less goofing around. I also suggest the little felt wire cleaner that goes over the wire prior to it feeding into the rollers. keeps the dirt out of the cable. some guys use what looks like a cigarette filter as well, something to allow the wire to feed through easily but rub any dust off the wire before it hits the cable liner. you would be surprised how much crap collects in the felt that would normally just wear out the liner on the cable.
