what size is the wire that comes with the cdw?


also a note for cdw users.
the amount of pressure you use when you make contact with the part is key. when i started using it i was having nothing but issues with, how well it connection was. but with some messing arround and playing with setting have solved most of my problems. and also have noticed if you still have a slight charge left in the cdw after your conection was made. ment one of 2 things. you either have your Joules
set to high or your not useing enough force when you make contact.


2 settings i have found that work best with the 2 difrent wires i use

the wire the comes with the cdw works best arround 26 to 30 Joules

if you use the radio shack grounding wire ( as it says in the caswell manual) this thick wire seems to work best at arround 55 to 60 Joules

if you go to high on the Joules it will leave a nasty pit in your work. i'll try and get pictures of this up later.
