| Post subject: | advice/opinions on a new 110v welder or run power to shop |
I recently moved to Franktown and have a "barn" that I will eventually need to run power to and have more recently acquired some welding work to be done, it is lighter steel art type stuff. I have a 220v unit already but no power at shop and it would be a bit to run an extension cord that far from the house. I am currently in the middle of a major house remodel and hadn't planned on getting power to the shop til well into the 2015 year, however this job offer has changed that. welder I have is a weldpack 180 Lincoln my options are: try and get power there officially either sub from the house or another run from the pole(my 1st choice no idea of cost) make a 70 foot extension cord to run from house and use my 220v welder buy a 220v capable generator to run my current welder buy a 110v wire feed and run a big extension cord to the shop or use mu 110 genny if it could handle it any thoughts or opinions I think I have about a month before the work needs to begin full specs coming on Monday. no idea what the budget is for this I just would rather not spend money twice, or on something that wouldn't be used again. lemme know what you alls think |

I have an extension cord thats about 60-70' I use in my garage. I've also ran my welder off a 5kw generator with zero issues on both. |

I just made my 60 ft 220 cord. Cost me $280 with everything from Home Depot. Probably could do it cheaper if you shopped around. |

A long extension cord now can also be turned into two short ones later. Id get a quote to run the sub panel, and if it's not affordable I'd make the extension cord. |

Definitely go with the 220V extension. It's cheaper than a 110V welder. |
