I'm guessing you are running that on 220v so you are probably getting 6-8 volts out.
I would spring for some welding cable about #4 gauge like this>

Here it's $2.25 a foot, I'm rewiring a friends ATV winch with this stuff.

This can go up to 105C and has a smaller diameter than that PVC insulated wire so you might get one more turn in there with this stuff.

Cool can cutter :D

That is no where near 600-700 amps, if it was it would only take about 1 sec or less to go completely through that can, I'm guessing more like 200 amps at the most.

EDIT:200

Nah, I have a gel battery that has a short circuit current of 1800 amps according to the manufacturer, and it acts just like his video. I can do 20 amps with my DC power supply, and it would not do that anywhere near that fast.

20 amps ??

Far more then 20 amps :)

Agreed. 1.5 volts at 20 amps is 30 watts. A couple 9 volt batteries will output 30 watts, try shredding a aluminum can with that. Nice build.

That looks like a nice floor you are burning your tools on top of. Destroying your tools and your floor? Have you no shame?
