1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

A fucking motor fell on me today at work

One of the jacks casters broke off and gravity did the rest

 

Well somehow I got talked into doing a 3.0 to 3.4 swap on a second gen runner in trade for a full wrap on my Tacoma and a partial on the BMW

Getting a dedicated circuit added to the garage for the new house.

Going with a Hobart 140 welder; will a 40 amp breaker suffice? Go bigger?

 

40 amp is plenty haha, I assume you mean 40 on each leg, which is way overkill haha

 

I have the option of 20 and 40 for wiring reasons.

I don't know what they'd expect me to run in there so thought I'd ask.

We already got a fridge picked out....not a cheap bitch

 

If I remember correctly that Hobart 140 is a 115V unit correct?

In full send, welder maxed out trying to glue the thickest steel together that it can, those little guys can pull a full 20A. I would opt for the 40A breaker but a 30 would be fine

 

I didn't know they made a 140 in 240V, that would be cool

 

Fuck dood all new appliances are crazy money!


Hope you didn't pick out a stainless steel unit

 

I read it as 180 cause for some reason I wouldn't expect any builder to put a 50a breaker on a 110 line and you wouldn't really need that for a 110v welder anyway

 

No that would be absolute overkill.. honestly a 40 is too large for a 110V in my humble opinion, stuff will get all melty if it got close to pulling that

 

I would expect nothing less at your first week of work lol

 

I did put stainless steel in the old house; I hated that they always got fingerprints on them still.

Going stainless again to contrast the dark granite counter tops. Plus the appliances we really like are stainless anyway.

Only appliances we need to buy are the fridge, washer, and dryer.

 

I didn't think a builder would ask about throwing 20a in a garage, that's just a given, like in the kitchen. @Kwikvette you should have a 220v circuit put in the garage now while it's easy so you can get a big boy welder

 

New neighbors

"Why's he always in the garage"

 

I'll take a picture of the can of Stainless steel cleaner we use at work, it's good shit. Picture will have to wait till tomorrow tho, already made it home for the day

 

I've seen alot of 30A 110V power tools out there so I can understand the builder asking if he wants a 40A




@Kwikvette he's 100% correct though. If you get it done now, you won't run into the issue Jake did
