Re: Best overall welder machine for home garage

2nd on the 140C. Note the C means fully adjustable voltage instead of the 4 steps the box store versions offer.

When you wire your garage, put in a 30A 120V circuit. An honest 140 welder will pop a 20A breaker when running near max. Even if you wind up with a 240V welder to start, much easier to add circuits when in the bare stud phase then the move crap and break drywall phase.

If you can, find a "Welding for Homeowners" type course. Many welding classes are setup for folks seeking to become professionally certified. I got lucky and the "Welding for Homeowners" class was ran by the same instructor that taught auto body repair.
