All I can say is that I grew up welding on an old Forney AC 220V machine. It has a 3 wire plug, 2 hots and a ground. It�s well over 40 years old as I�m am nearing 50 and remember Dad getting it when I was about 5.

Also it doesn�t take much moisture under your feet or kneeling on the metal that you�re welding to get a little tingle. Keeps you on your toes dad would say.
I have a couple other welders that I use more frequently now, an AC/DC Century and a Millermatic 220, plus a Deca Inverter and some other off shore tiny inverter. Never got a buzz from any of them but they are completely different t machines. Every now and then I will fire up the old Forney and it still does just as good a job as ever... which is fine for cruddy old farm repairs even if I do get a little tingle. Grant

But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
