    You're going to have to get an electrician to install a 220 outlet. I'm lucky that I've got electrician friends :D

    Yes that would work!

    The longer the cord the thicker it has to be.

    Depending on the welder you may need a larger circuit in the panel. Also you will need to make sure the wire in the wall is large enough to handle the amp draw. And welders use a NEMA 6.50 that's different then a drier so you will need an adapter or modify your extension cord.

    I have this one and it's great http://store.cyberweld.com/230voexco25.html it's a little pricey but it's 8/3 SOOW so it will handle just about any welder.

    or you can make your own if you need it longer http://www.skycraftsurplus.com/83soowpowercord.aspx

    ^^^ JLEE speaks the truth! i love my magnetic ground! it is a fucking LIFE SAVER!

    for any of you that are into tig welding like i am, i will suggest a hand control for working on your truck vs. the foot control 99% of welders use. if you have never tried one, try it. you will fucking love the thing.
