I am tooling up a new/old stick welder, and I have a pile of used welding
cables with various connector styles and types. None of the cable is marked
at all, so I'll have to ID its gage by exposing copper and measuring
diameter. But even if I do that, I can't find a table which maps cable
diameter to gage size. Anyone?

Please log in for more thread options Well, that's for sure *way* different than the McMaster Carr table. And that
one was way different than the other tables people pointed out. Here they all
are for your comparison:

None of these tables agree in the slightest. Sheesh.
