That cost about as much as the MVP plug... If it would fit the dryer outlet it sounds pretty good... Hate to get it and have to cut the end off to put another plug on it.

BTW I have a 100' of 6/3 looks like a garden hose all rolled up!!!!

what type of plug do you have for your dryer , and wears your fuse breaker panel box since some time dryer outlet are not high enough run a welder since most dryer outlet are only 30 amps in new homes

I'm going to need to pull the dryer out a bit to see the plug. 30 amps should be good if I get the 140st. Tempted to look at the 160 which might be a bit out of my reach. Given the typical rod sizes and the size of the beads I might weld, 30 amps should be good.

BTW I see you are following osha rules on keeping the cover in place and keeping a 3' clearance..... Haha

I'm not sure if it's still there, but there was a thread on WW about making your own welding extension chord. There was ton's of debate about thickness, but using a 10-3 bulldog power chord is a cheaper alternative. Just change the plugs to match what you need.

Was looking at the cord from HF just yesterday. Not sure how the neon bulbs at the ends will like 220v instead of 110v ... note to self, more research. Cord is rated to 300v and is 10 gauge. I also saw one on Amazon with the same gauge, no lights on the ends for slightly cheaper - no charge shipping!

I would cut the existing plugs off the cord, and replace them with 220v plugs. That's a cheaper way of getting a 50' welding cord.
