<DIV>Dan,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> If your client is stuck on the idea
of a stick welder, the 120 volt models are pretty cheesy...240V is the way to
go. However, I've welded many miles of steel with a Miller 120 volt wire
feed machine that does 3/16" material easy and 1/4" if the joint design is set
up right. Yes, the 120 volt MIG machines are more money than the 120 volt
stick welders, but they will weld 98% of everything most folks need.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I power my wire feed with 2, FX
3524's set up for 120V only and have never in about 15 years now, had a
problem. One FX?....don't know.</DIV>

talking points</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Esteemed Wrenches;
<DIV>Can anyone here help me with some simple talking points for clients
installing off grid systems? 240 Well pumps hard wired to panel breakers are
common, but everybody (who has even a chance of surviving up here in middle of
nowhere way off grid) NEEDS a 240v welder outlet in the garage/workshop. But
690.10(C) says no.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Am I missing something obvious? What do I tell these potential
clients?</DIV>
<DIV><BR clear=all>
