I'm looking at getting the Primeweld 180. As far as what I plan on using it for is farm type equipment, trailers, bbq pits, general DIY stuff. Really nothing in particular, just want to learn for certain things I need to repair or build.

I thought about just using the dryer plug with an adapter and extension but then I would have to leave the door from the garage to the laundry room open and my wife would not be happy.

Excellent choice. You can start burning a bunch of wire onto coupons on 120V. Save the structural stuff until you get 240V installed. Suggest you stick to 0.023 wire on 120V (assume you are going solid wire and gas shield?)

I have that same problem. I am going to take one of the 110 outlets and remove the receptacle and use the romex in the box to pull 6ga wire and have a dedicated 220 outlet and breaker. The circuit breaker box is very close to this outlet so I won't have a lot of expense in 6ga wire. Maybe you could do the same.
