linkspast Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 So I have a welder that needs 220. The only 220v outlet in the house in for the dryer. the prongs on the cords look Different. and I bought a Dryer cord. My question is Could I attach the prongs for the dryer cord I bought to the welder, and would it work fine? Quote
phill Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 If you want to do it safely, I would suggest putting in another 220 breaker and put in a proper socket for the welder. Quote

Effef Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Yeha but comon we all know safety=money I am poor. Lack of safety also = you getting busted by 220v Also im pretty sure it would be against any sort of housing code to rig a setup like that. Quote
phill Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 other then a few building code violations.....safety = not having 60 amps pumped through your body killing you good. And really, you should be able to get a 220v breaker, socket and enough wire to run where you nee for 20-30 bucks Quote
