Wire baskets
From GAWDAwiki
MIG wire can be supplied as a continuous coil wound onto cylindrical reels or spools of various designs and diameters. The amount of wire will vary with reel diameter and type of alloy. One form of reel/spool is manufactured entirely from wire. These are commonly described as wire baskets and will hold about 15kg of steel MIG wire or 6kg of aluminum MIG wire. Baskets intended for use with stainless steel and non-ferrous metal MIG consumables have the wire covered by a plastic coating to prevent contamination of the welding wire. Some baskets require a "reel adaptor" to be fitted to enable them to be attached to wire feed units (which are designed to take the traditional plastic reels), while others have such an adaptor built into them.
