Thread: extension cord to weld on 110 for tig 185

  1. Default extension cord to weld on 110 for tig 185

    hi i have to do some work about 30 feet from my house , just some tacs and short beads on some 16 gauge exhaust tubing.

    I want to use the machine on 110 , can i use any regular extension cord from the house plug to the welder or I have to have something thicker made up?


    thanks

    14 gauge should be good for that. For longer runs 12 gauge is best.
    Long arc, short arc, heliarc and in-the-dark!
