I'll agree with Brett - no need for the extra shutoff, but it would be convenient to have that extra shutoff point close to the welder if needed. That's the way ours was wired on the farm - 30 amp 2 pole box with the handle on the side. Also, there's no harm in "double fusing" a circuit like this. (a breaker in the main panel, and the double pole shut off box near the welder) If a fault or overload is encountered, the weakest breaker/fuse will trip/blow. Actually, now that I think of it, you're really "triple fusing" it. The main (100 amp?) breaker in the panel, the feed for the welder circuit (30 amp), and the shut off box near the welder (30 amp) This subject gets beaten to death on some of the garage sites. You know the ones, people that have more money than sense... Garages that are spotless, numerous vehicles that look the same way. They are always asking how to hook up their new welder - one that they'll probably never learn how to use.
