how is the welding capability if you add cable extensions to the already 10 foot factory cables, lets say another 10 to 15 feet each?
1 Answer
Adding 10 or 15 feet to the lead/ground on the Miller Thunderbolt 160 DC Stick Welder 907721 will not affect the performance of the machine. If you were to go over 100 total feet you would need to upgrade the cable.
