Hi, newbie on the forum here. Been lurking a little and have found some great information. So now I have a question.
I have the opportunity to buy a used Millermatic 250 from a friend for a good price. The question I have is what kind of line do I need to run this beast? I only have a 200amp circuit in my house.
I currently have an old Miller Cricket 70amp MIG that I have used for the last 10 years on various projects, and am to the point where I need some serious welding power for some fabrication on my Jeep. The 250 is probably overkill for what I need, but I think I can get it cheaper than a new 210. The only thing that is holding me up is whether or not I have the juice to power it with. I don't want to have to upgrade my electrical service just to run the welder. If that is the case, I'd rather just get a 210 or 175. (Miller, of course)
Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.
