Hose or cord reel

[bdierks]

Where can i get a retractable hose or cord reel with nothing on it? I want to use it for my plasma cutter torch. It is 25 feet long, and there is just know controling it. seems like there is always tons of cord laying everywhere. So since my plasma cutter is basicly stationary, I thought some sort of retractable reel would be perfect. Any other ideas? I dont want to get a shorter cord because its nice to have the main unit stationary.

Thanks, BRIAN

How about a inexpensive one from thetoolwarehouse.net ....

that is a hand crank. I would prefer a retractable one. Like an air hose reel.

I guess you could make one, I don't think your going to find one all setup. To make one will be very $$$, I bet over $1000 and I'm not sure how you will deal with the control wires. You can start with a reelcraft model that has the heavy duty high amp slip ring on one side and then add a low pressure swivel on the other side. Then your going to have to come up with a 1-??? wire slip ring for the control wire/s and mount it some how. IF you only have one wire for the control you might find a high amp slip ring for 2 wires and just use a high amp for the control.

Just get one of the retractable air hose reels from HF and modify it to your needs.
