I did 750 feet of romex a few weeks ago. once through and stripped down I got 3000 feet of 12ga. I do not know the machine you have but it should be able to handle it but I would not do it while still in a spool. Mine run fast enough and it will be hard to keep the feed wire from kinking up. 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.
