How is the bare ground put in first if it is attached to the outlet? I've usually used those green wire nuts with a hole in the end. Is that a bad practice?

I'll warn you that the worm drive hand winch is slow. It will take you longer than comfortable to wind in and out 8 feet of wire. I use one to hoist a canoe into my rafters and i cut the threads off and chuck a cordless drill on it. There is also no way to release and pull out the cable, Power...

I bought a 211 recently, I'm very happy with it. Welds great and the auto set is phenomenal. I also thought about both machines but the inability to tig aluminum broke the deal for me. every thing I read said the Lincoln was ok at everything but not great at anything, whereas the 211 is a great MIG.

if you are buying online you can look into Paypal's bill me later feature.

No, Want to pull a small panel out of the basement and replace it to gain additional spaces to pull welder outlet + future proofing. The meter and exterior 125A feed the house panel in the basement. As far as i know the 20 space panel in the basement is original to the house in 98.

So this got a little off topic, I find it odd that my current panel doesn't have a shutoff in it, should it? Is there any reason i cannot install a larger main panel with a 200A disconnect inside the panel as long as the 125A breaker is maintained upstream? Code references are welcome.

Thanks guys, this is what i needed to know! When installing the welder wire to the garage, it needs to be stapled going through the attic and unfinished garage but not in the stud bay since i'd be fishing it right?

Ok, Picture time. so first up meter base and outside panel. 125A going inside and 40A for the AC. Next is SE wire coming in, it looks like AL 0-0-0-2 which is right on for the 125A main outside. in the panel. When we ran a dedicated 20A line for my computer closet we tried to put...

I'm looking at adding a welder outlet in my garage. From what i can see i have a 20space 24circuit panel in my basement that is full. Can I install a larger panel to get more spaces without upgrading anything else? I clearly have more breakers than the 125A main, so what's the limit on how much...

1930, If your serious about that shoot me a pm, getting it to florida might be cost prohibitive though.

So it has been broken as you suspected, I bet someone was hammering on it a bit much. Think it could be welded back together?

I recently acquired this anvil/vice, has anyone has seen one before or could you tell me anything about it? I'm looking to get started in blacksmithing and this was the first ASO that came my way. Any info is much appreciated.

Thanks, I'll be sure to post some pictures over there. Nothing looks broken to me, I'll see if i can pull the U bolt off and see if anything is loose.
