1) MIG welder, torch, earth clamp 2) gas 3) helmet, gloves, protective overalls, boots 4) spool of wire 5) plug socket capable of handling the amperage that the MIG welder demands. **Online calculator link??** 6) fire extinguisher/well ventilated area/sand bucket 7) Materals, angle grinder, tin snips, cutting disks, grinding disks 8)Spare nozzles, shrouds, mig torch service kit... 9)Regulator, hose and flow meter for said gas
Kettle, tea / coffee, sugar, milk, biscuits. Seriously.... Materals, angle grinder, tin snips, cutting disks, grinding disks, etc....
t-shirt and slippers seem to be off the list! I think you need a good idea of what you'll be welding...if mild steel then gas would be argo shield. If car repairs then probably lower power mig (sub 200A) so would run off a 13a plug....just examples.
Can I run a more powerful MIG off a 13a plug as long as I keep it below a certain amperage? If so what is the max a 13a plug could handle
Yup that would work (provided it's 240v not 400v).I run the Kemppi off a 13a and it's never blown....think the welder is 200a max. Welders do vary though...so one Vs another welding 4mm would need different amps. If you are doing car repairs it's the low end you'll be using the most....that has to be low enough otherwise you'll blow holes everywhere. I usually only use the mig up to 4mm-6mm...above that I tend to use a stick welder.
10)plasma cutter 11)anvil 12)lathe 13)extraction system 14)more grinders 15)mill 16)dehumidifier 17)another arc welder 18)multiprocess welder 19)another arc welder 20)a different lathe 21)power hacksaw 22)bigger vice ...oh wait... that must just be me. I'm sure your list is complete
You forgot plasma cutter on a cnc table, benders, shears, Tig, not to mention another welder (you can never have enough welders). They don't even have to work as long as they look good, you can impress your mates WITH ALL YOUR STUFF
You also require attention man! because in most cases went careless about themselves and don't wear safety welding boots, and other safety stuff even if they have. You need to use everything when it is required. Update your list according to the suggestion. Best wishes.
A Several items not previously mentioned. 1.) A carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. You don't want the powder type as once you crack open the valve it will not close completely until its fully discharged, and then there is the mess; Carbon dioxide leaves n residue. 2.) A pair of side cutters for trimming wire. 3.) Pliers for picking up hot stuff. Welcome to the Forum.
