lckstckn2smknbrls, Do you by chance have any experience with the 110v welders? I been looking at one at HF but it's been way to many yrs since I've done any welding and wondered just how well they work. Playing with 220v is somewhat out of my league as far as running new lines goes
Sorry I don't. The most welding I've done was 35 years ago in high school and it was oxy-acedling. Running 220v is as easy as running two 110v circuits in one conduit. From the 2 pole breaker you run the 2 hot leads and the ground to the outlet, there's no neutral in a 220v circuit and it doesn't matter which hot lead goes to which terminal on the outlet. Just be sure you use the proper gauge wire for the amperage your working with.
Thanks for explaining how to do that. I'll be putting up that 10' X 17' Portable Garage from Harbor Freight come next payday and was wanting to have 110V and 220V out there. Add a couple of work benches, a bigger compressor that's bigger than what I have(3 Gal, 100psi), I'll be able to work on the boats and trailers without the wind and rain bothering me.
