Re: Buffers & pads
Thanks for your reply Poki,
10 guage would certainly do the trick but it might be overkill too. Just the extension cords would cost almost as much as the g110v2. I called our engineers at work and told them I needed around 125' running a 4.2 amp tool and they seemed to think a 14 or even 16 guage should do fine. Saying what I've said, I think I'll go in the middle and get 14 guage.
Again, thanks for your reply.

Re: Buffers & pads
Skip,
Even though 14ga will work, step up to at least 12ga. It is not only the wire guage one has to consider, but the (both) plug ends. A lot of 14ga (and smaller) really skrimp on the (trying to figure out what word to use) weight, heft, quality, amperage carrying abilty, umph. When you step up to 12ga and above, your are getting more into "Contractor Grade" vs home/handyman variety.
Also, with the length you need, the heavier cord will just be stronger, like from hanging out your second story window.
Hope this help some.
