I regularly get asked “How Much Wire is on a Mig Spool”, so I figured it was time I posted some figures 😀

0.6mm

• 0.7Kg (1.5lb) Mig Spool = 350M (1148ft)
• 5Kg (11lb) Mig Spool = 2502M (8209ft)
• 15Kg (33lb) Mig Spool = 7506 (24625ft)

0.8mm

• 0.7Kg (1.5lb) Mig Spool = 194M (636ft)
• 5Kg (11lb) Mig Spool = 1387M (4550ft)

1.0mm

• 0.7Kg (1.5lb) Mig Spool = 125M (410ft)

1.2mm

All of the figures are based on weighing a sample length of Mild Steel Mig Wire to calculate how much wire is on a Mig Spool.

Figures for Stainless Steel Mig Wire will be similar.
