Could two people weld on the same machine at the same time? Using two power sources, of course. I'm the shop mechanic, and I use the shop welder. Could one of the road mechanics use his engine drive at the same time? Thanks for your time.

You can hook up as many machines as you want on the same weldment. The only time you can have problems is if you try to parallel 2 machines together to get more amps. As long as each machine has its own ground and stinger, no problems. Dave

Where I work we have used 6 welders at the same time on the same job. Leave that self dimming helment in the box though, they get kinda confused about which arc to respond to.

As long as you are using two separate welding machines you should be ok. The only thing you must do is make sure that you dont grab ahold of the ground of the other welding machine when you are welding. Other than that you should be alright. It isnt any different than grounding different machines to the same table as you would in a factory and such.
