It is a double 30. I check that before I bought the welder. What do you mean by 12/3 for the ground wire?

 

For the power feed. 2x12awg with a copper ground. I run 10/3. Also, you might want to check your local electrical code, I run a double 50 breaker, because that's code in my area...

 

10/3 is what I use too. I didn't think about code tho. Definitely check to see what code is.

 

It's pretty important. If you ever have a fire, your insurance claim can be rejected if the adjuster notices a lower than code breaker in your box, whether or not it had anything to do with the fire. It's a small thing that can save you A LOT of hardship down the road should anything bad happen. (heaven forbid, LOL)

 

12 feet of over head welding. My best yet!

 

Can't quite get dimes...

 

And then I squeezed out of the tank to find this I didn't think the placement out very well. Lmao! That was my favorite hat.

 

This is the tank bottom I'm building. 18000 gallon fermenter! Takes a lot of beer to make these wine tanks lol

 

Nice! Do you work for a sanitary stainless company?



Just made a table for the shop

 

Fence I built for a gated community was a 30ft span

My old sas ranger I built


Don't mind the steering that was temporary

 

Yes I do! It's a small company R-Tanks only 2 employees and a owner. Keeps us pretty busy most of the year.

 

Loving the new table. This was long over due. $40 worth of scrap metal goes a long way

 

Nice work everyone!

 

I've gotta ask, is there a big difference between a 170 amp and 180 am MIG welder?

Is it "100 dollar price difference" worth it?

 

Correction: Which should i spend the money on?

or, OR, OR...

http://www.harborfreight.com/welding...der-68886.htmlme and my brother have been looking to start welding, and if i save up the money (being 16, this can be a tad difficult) so i'm not sure which of the two to shoot for.

(Let's be realistic, i can't buy a nice Miller or Hobart, so i'm keeping it to the HF choices lol)
