It wont know the cord is there.

I near bet a single circuit in pipe and that is a number 12 wire machine. If you use cable use 1 size bigger.

As a side not my neighbor was pricing some scheme the poco was advocating as saving and we calculate would have taken several years, I forget exact now to break even on the wire cost. Would have taken a lifetime at full skilled labor rates on top of that.

We got engineers on these forums would be interesting to calculate how long or how many operational hours it would take with that machine at 80% output to save 5$ in power if a guy used a number 6 wire,,,, ha

One of the guys on the Miller forum just got a new multi and said it really flies. He was moving, downsizing and also didnt have to upgrade power for some old monster and selling it for some insane price anyway. It was always somewhat a problem when I was a sprout but we got so much better...

I been at this a while. That machine will run dandy from a 10 cable 50 ft long. They list 40 breaker but it should be legal on circuit to 50. Save some jack on the wire and buy another grinder.

There might be instruction sheet with this welder? The electric supply guy is correct, its worth a look in the manual. You would be good at 8 also. The general rule is 5% and you are likely basing this on rated output qhich is rather rare for home/diy/ non outright welding shop production...

They scrap these by the hundreds every day,,, no one does this regular does it like these diy schemes, Too dangerous and too slow,

One of these days we gonna see a thread here about what went boom cutting all these things.

I agree, is this worth it? This machine has a place, if its a hobby its ok, if its free its ok but it wouldnt be for me to cobble a feeder on to it.

It's not true so to speak because the gage is wrong. I the spiral will be too tight, should have a 9 inch flight.

I haven't looked for a used one but I wanna make this from the 12 inch it is to 18. Need someone with a mind greater than my own to make a pattern, I could use scraps. I was gonna use some cardboard, make a common pattern and piece it. Even thought to use tabs and bolt on. It's not going to see...

As soon as the new piece comes I am gonna torch this worn out skid pan off. I need to find some pics of one I reman a couple years ago and paint all up like the color of one of those stickley green apples

Just wondered if there was a magic blend.

I am having a brain seizure, what gas is the gang using on stainless?
