Sorry for the post read the rest of yours and this is not what you are asking for

I was planing on # 6 and a 50amp breaker in case i upgrade, My welder is only a SP-175 Plus Lincoln Wire Feeder / MIG Welder I used a 8/2 with ground and 40A breaker for it.

Little update passed the rough in inspection with no problems I would like to thank everyone that helped me out. The inspector asked what’s with all the GFCI.. Thought it was a good idea, but not needed in my area, only the outside receptacles need to be GFCI. Just waiting for the ground to...

Thats the price for living in a small town. :)

Hello falconflyer04 Here is the way I ended up doing the rough in for mine. Wasn’t my original plan but seems to work out ok. Lights will screw into the 2x4 cross pieces and fixture hole will Line up with the box and hide it.

Thanks for the reply tfi racing Vapor hats are not mandatory here on a detached garage. I will take your advice on the extra slack into the box, Seen it firsthand how easy it is to nick a wire. (LOL)

The welder circuits are 240/ 50 amp for my mig Three circuits for lighting I also have five 14/2 15 amp receptacles higher up on the wall For TV, clock and sound system. They are not on my wiring diagram

Thanks for the advice MrMark That is exactly what I did. Switched too 4”sqaure boxes with mud ring. Pane in the *** to change all boxes out, but well worth it in the end. The one box that I wired up for fit had a nick in the wire from trying to Squeeze everything in, I’m happy that I found it...
