Great info man, I'm gonna do this when I get the welder. If I make a 50-75' cord, which gage should I use 8 or 10? I just saw your question above, I'm making some fitness equipment(power rack, belt squat, bench etc)

So the outlet that my dryer plugs into is a 30amp? I'm a noob when it comes to electrical. How did you make an extension cord that works? Would a power inverter work? Thanks bud

I Just signed up to the forum and thought I'd say hello and ask a question. I currently use a 70amp flux core welder(lol,crap I know) and thinking about upgrading to a Miller 215. My question is other than a dedicated 220v outlet and generater is there another way to power this welder? Thanks in adv...
