What is the best welder to use for a go kart?

Depends on a lot of things. Slickest work, but most expensive - TIG. Cheapest - arc (stick) welder. Reasonably user friendly and inexpensive - wire-feed arc/ MIG welder.) Most versatile - Oxyacetylene. Oxy will give have the biggest heat affected zone and is the hardest to use (IMO). If your kart is really thin wall tubing you can forget about the stick welder and even the MIG will be quite tricky.


Is my 40 amp breaker and number 8 wire ok for my 220 volt stick welder safe?

Yes, a 40 amp breaker and number 8 wire are generally suitable for a 220-volt stick welder, as they can handle the current typically drawn by such equipment. However, it's crucial to check the welder's specifications to ensure it doesn't exceed the breaker's rating. Additionally, ensure that all connections are secure and that the wiring is installed according to local electrical codes for safety. If in doubt, consulting a licensed electrician is advisable.


What is a mig welder used for?

Mig (GMAW) has almost replaced Stick (SMAW) in industry. Small machines can weld thin materials and larger machines weld metals of unlimited thickness. Mig is easy to use and has less waste (no stubs) than stick. Flux core wire produces a slag covering but bare wire w/gas leaves a clean weld.

The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?

What is the best size wire for a welder extension cord?

The best size wire for a welder extension cord depends on the wattage of the welder and the length of the cord. For most home workshop welders, a 10-gauge wire is a good choice, providing a balance between cost and performance. However, for longer distances or higher power welders, a thicker wire such as 8-gauge may be necessary to prevent voltage drop and ensure safety.
