I'm getting a MIG for Christmas. Trying to decide between a Miller 140C and a 180C. The 180C is only $93 more... but the garage is not wired for 220.
1) Can I wire it myself? 2) Is the 180C overkill for a 914? I shoulda bought it last week... MIG welders all took a big jump in price in the last week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

QUOTE I think I paid 60 bucks for the cord and maybe 40 dollars for the plug and receptacle. West Marine Supply puts them on sale every once in a while for $49-$59 for a 30ft one! QUOTE If you go with the dryer circuit / welder plug or extension - just make up a little sign for the dryer that says "Do Not Use - Welding!" Yes, don't use the dryer "circuit" I unplug the dryer and use the plug! |
