my garage isn't exactly built to weld in (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) the only plug is in the ceiling and the cord to the welder doesn't reach... what extension cords are Safe to use with a welder? I don't want to blow a breaker, I don't even know where the fuse box is, and I don't think the apartments would take it too kindly...

if the garage was right next to the apt I would just use a longer cord, but that's not going to work...
I have tripped the surge protector in this garage with a fan, radio, shop vac running, and the air compressor kicked on, causing the surge protector to need a reset... I'll run by Lowes and get a HEAVY 10' cord and hope for the best... I'll do it on a day the maintenance people are here though, in case the breaker goes... alternatively, I'll get everything else done, get the bitch back on the road, then take it to a friend's house and use his garage... he wired a new 220, and 2 110s dedicated for his garage... it sounds like that may be a smarter move... what do you guys think? btw, it's 2 small 4"x6" holes in the long, 1 - 4"x8" hole in the floor board and like 3 other small places, including 1 of the seat hinges... not a lot of welding at all... and I'm sure it would be safe to drive short distances... just no passenger seat (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
