With a resistance of 2.57 ohms per foot and the ability to operate continuously at temperatures up to 1180°C (2150°F), it delivers reliable, uniform heat with minimal resistance change. Ideal for hot-wire foam cutters, heaters, and electronic repairs, this American-made wire combines durability, flexibility, and precision for professional-grade performance. ## Description **Wire Specifications:** - Diameter: 26 Gauge / 0.40mm - Shape: Round - Alloy: Nichrome 80 (80% Ni, 19.5% Cr, 1.45% Si) - Length: 100 ft. - Heat Treatment: Annealed (soft) - Melting Temperature: 2552°F / 1400°C - Maximum Continuous Operating Temperature: 2150°F / 1180°C - Resistance: 2.57 Ohms/ft at room temperature Nichrome 80 Wire has a low temperature coefficient of resistance and minimal change in resistance during its service life. These properties ensure faster heat-up times, more uniform operating temperatures, and a longer useful life. Its excellent mechanical stability minimizes variables in element design, ensures even stretch in coiled form, and eliminates problems such as shrinkage, growth, sag, or distortion in use. This wire is intended for the repair and maintenance of electronic components. Typical applications include industrial and hobby hot-wire foam cutters, internal support in ceramics, home and industrial heaters, diffusion heaters, dishwashers, cooking plates, electric blankets, hair dryers, kerosene-fired appliances, kettles, refrigerators, rice cookers, tumble dryers, washing machines, and electrical heating elements in high-temperature furnaces used in heat treatment, glass, steel, and electronics industries. ## Features - Wire for Industrial and hobby hot-wire foam cutters, heaters, hair dryers, kettles, refrigerators, ect… - Nichrome 80 26g 100 ft - Annealed soft - 2.6 Ohms/ft Resistance - For use at temperatures up to 1180°C (2150°F) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CHVKKCQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #108,956 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #566 in Electrical Wire | | Brand | Master Wire Supply | | Brand Name | Master Wire Supply | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 526 Reviews | | Gauge | 6.0 | | Manufacturer | Master Wire Supply | | Material | Nichrome | | Material Type | Nichrome | | Model | 43237-2 | | No. of wires | 1 | | Number Of Wires | 1 | | Number of Cable Strands | Single Strand | | Part Number | 43237-2 | | Strands | Single Strand | | UPC | 742415912539 | | Unit Count | 100 Feet | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Master Wire Supply - **Color:** Silver - **Gauge:** 6.0 - **Material:** Nichrome - **Number of Cable Strands:** Single Strand ## Images ![Nichrome 80-100' - 26 Gauge Wire - 100ft - 0.4mm - 0.016in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dTHqRlkJL.jpg) ![Nichrome 80-100' - 26 Gauge Wire - 100ft - 0.4mm - 0.016in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zxUMNkVjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this work for a cutting grid in a stand alone ice machine** A: I never thought of that as a use but it would work fine. I use it to cut EPS foam where the temperature on the wire range around 600 degrees. As you know the temp is determined by a combination of amperage, gauge and length of the wire between the power leads. So long as you have sufficient power this should work great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by H***O on January 14, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on February 14, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***G on February 4, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Nichrome 80-100' - 26 Gauge Wire - 100ft - 0.4mm - 0.016in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - Nichrome 80-100' - 28 Gauge Wire - 100ft - 0.32mm - 0.013in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - Nichrome 80-100' - 24 Gauge Wire - 100ft - 0.51mm - 0.02in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/80617955-nichrome-80-100-26-gauge-wire-100ft-0-4mm-0](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/80617955-nichrome-80-100-26-gauge-wire-100ft-0-4mm-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
