I once had a 120 Volt chopsaw sitting on a metal welding bench, and the welder ground wire had dropped off of the metal table, unknown to me.

When I began to weld, it burnt up the cord on the chopsaw, and the outlet ground circuit, all the way back to the breaker box.

Moral of the story, permanently BOND the metal bench to the ground on the welder, with heavy wire, similar in size to the welding ground wire you now have.

That will prevent any problems, if the ground clamp falls off, or isn't making contact ith the work.
