Extension Cord For 220 Welder

I made a 110V 15 footer with 10/3 Romex (brainfart, could have used 10/2) and it cost me north of 25 bucks. Easier to move the 220 jack closer to the car if your in an unpaneled garage as you can use inexpensive 10/3 solid core romex. SOJJ (?) or welding cable is fine stranded heavy guage highly flexible and insulated but is expensive. Pre made slave labor 8/10G extension cords are cheaper. Use Miller wire in those inexpensive Chicago electric welders, much better than the stuff they come with. I have the multi MIG 130 and the miller flux wire runs it pretty good. the supplied Chi-Comm shielded wire really pops and spatters. If you can put any flux core wire in an oven at 250 for 30 minutes, youll boil out any moisture in there (as well as sticks) and theyll run much better. Store them in tupperware with a bag of dried rice or other dessicant to keep them dry. Use gas and even the cheap welders look pretty good.
