Most welders have a diagram in the lid or back of the machine to how it’s wired. It looks like there is warning label on your welder plug stating something switching from 110v to 220v but can’t make it out from the pictures. I would read that warning label and go from there.

 

this picture says otherwise lol

wait. that was welding? I thought that was a grinder....

 

Safety Squint.

 

The resident electrician spent $10k (pre-covid dollars) on suspension then stopped wheeling with us.

Googling shows the 14-50 outlet supports dual voltages, so the oven can have a 120V lamp, etc.

According to the reviews, at least 93% of buyers haven't burned their houses down with this adapter cord:

$24 M1A2 Heavy-Duty Welder Adapter Cord, NEMA 14-50P Male to 6-50R Female, 50 Amps, STW 6 AWG, 250V RV 12500 Watt 12"

Say it ain't so Joe...say it ain't so.

Then there was that Lambo guy...drove a black sport MT...ughhh.

He was a sparky

 

Had to weld for Maverick insert nut to hold the skid plate after

 

Technically if the house is wired right, the breaker at the fuse panel will protect everything inside the wall. What amp rating of of anything plugged in, is just at risk of popping the breaker if it actually pulls too much. Getting the 120 (for a 120v welder) off a leg from a 30A stove outlet is likely to prevent just popping your 15A breaker all day long.

 

The quoted picture was grinder, this is welder

 

Chopping will continue until moral improves driver side meow

 

Fvck it, let's giver a shot ya...

@Joe23 ahoy matey!

He's still around. Saw him the other day. projects after projects doing well.

 

Me with an M10 Rivnut tool.
saaaaaaaaaallll goood.

 

Think this is the one I used. Converts the dryer plug to the welder plug.

 

Yup - talked to the folks at welders supply canada and they had them in stock (or something similar)
I might still burn down the garage, but it won't be because of the plug
