Where are you looking? There is specific welding cable for the purpose.

What about cords for electric driers or ranges?

What about them? Not the same thing as welding cable...

OP just needs to go to full-line electrical supply or a welding supply.

Well, I just noticed I overlooked the power cord portion---though the
was looking ro replace welding cable. Power line cable should be ok
altho if it is a very flexible cord, it may well be the welding cable as
well, not a power cord which typically is stranded, but larger strands.

It seemed to me that he was talking about the power cord from the welder
to the power outlet, not the cables from the welder to the work and the
rod holder.

Yeah, I saw that after I posted...made a followup but obviously you
hadn't seen it yet.

It's called "welding cable". Search for it.

Look for SO or SJ cord. Your not going to like the price. The box stores
may not have it. An electrical wholesaler surely would.
