That looks like a nice welder! I don't have a mig welder so I always have to steal The Dodge Whisperers welder haha. Great Video, looking forward to seeing how the welding goes.
At 120v you can run a 30A circuit. Per the manual it says it will draw up to 29.6 amps at 240. Per national electric code Take full load amps and multiply by 1.25 and get 37 amps you then round up to a 40 amp breaker. The cord is a Nema 6-50R which is a 50 amp 240v cord. Which plugs into a 50 amp outlet. Yeah the book says minimum 30A circuit, but we chose to run a 50 to get the max out of it as well as run someone else’s equipment later. Run #8 wire as well. We both may say we don’t know what we’re doing on a lot of stuff but we’re both qualified electrically. We appreciate the question. BTW this is the old man responding.
I love it! Haven’t had any issues with it. and for a lack of my own welding skills, I think it makes me probably a better welder than I am haha worth every penny!
Finally, a video where they talk about MIG welders AND feature Mopars in the same video!
Haha You should watch our videos of installing the 8 point roll bar on the duster! Thanks for watching!
Eastwood's welders are good I have a Mig 250 and it does everything Well from 22ga to 1/2"... Good luck with your new welder.
Thanks man!

It works great! Now if my welding skills could match…
Ive got the 180 with the spool gun. Absolutely love it. Its not rated for it but ive used it on half inch steel.
Nice! I can’t wait to use ours more
Whats going to be the first project you weld?
We already did lol it’s not TH-cam worthy haha
I thought the Eastwood mug 180 required a 30amp breaker looking at their website.

How do you like the welder after 1 year?
I love it! Haven’t had any issues with it. and for a lack of my own welding skills, I think it makes me probably a better welder than I am haha worth every penny!
Any updates? Still working good?
It works great! I’m by no means an expert welder and it’s pretty easy to use. I would definitely buy it again
