Hey folks,
Lanse's welding post got me wondering..
You can pick up a decent, good for joe blow to have around the shop, welder for about 50 bucks new here (I got one and use it quite a bit).
You just plug it into the wall and weld.
House current here is 230 volt 50 hz and our breaker box has a 40 amp main (breaker that is on the switch I useally use is 16 amp).
Could one of you folks take this welder and use it with 220 volts @ 60 hz without doing any damage to shop or machine??
Just wondering because these things weigh only about 20 pounds and are about the size of a toobox. Much easier to lug around than the dinasaurs.
