what size wire goes from the breaker in the sub panel to the outlet?
Technically... If you are using Romex (NM) wire it should be #6 copper...
But if you run it in conduit you can use #8 copper THHN it is usually black (single conductor) would have to pull the wires through one at a time. Make sure you use the plastic bushings where the conduit enters the breaker box or outlet box.
For a welder you are probably using a 3 conductor, 50 amp plug. 2 hot wires (from the breaker) and a ground.

Now a Shade tree TIG welder.
