I take all wire I get and cut into about 3 foot pieces and straighten before cutting. Then I have a big pile of 3' pieces I just constantly feed the machine. Then pull up a chair and remove the insulation. When only 3' long if the blade does not cut good all the way down the insulation will have gotten crushed. I can just pull it off the the bottom.

I will be working on maybe 1000' of 10ga the rest of this wiik.

Idk about feet of wires but they are 12gauge romex 72lbs of it works pretty good yes does kink video said it could pull kinks out but not with romex obviously but it does pretty well with the wiresin the romex it can come off track sometimes. I had a pile from work of mixed stuff I sorted the 10 gauge and 14 and 12 and misc thhn in separate piles plus some cloth stuff I'm leaving alone mite b asbestos not sure. All I got left are the 12 gauge wires . I should be getting some 12/4 and some 500 ft of the xhhw 6/2 and some aluminum wire 4/0 and some smaller so I suppose I'll have to run it twice with that since it's harder and thicker than the copper stuff.
