Where can I get a 220v 50' cord from?

LXtasy · 06-20-2009, 10:58 AM

Is there any place local that sells a 220v 50 amp 50' extension cord? Need it for my new welder.

I know I can make my own, but rather buy one already ss0 rating etc.

i had to make my own. there are so many combinations of plugs, recepticles and wire that i couldnt find one that suited me. may have been cheaper to make my own also

LXtasy · 06-20-2009, 11:27 AM

Thats what I figured. I just wish the electrical supply stores were open on the weekends. Because HD and lowes pricing on wire is way too high

Pesce Nero · 06-20-2009, 12:02 PM

i may have spent almost 100 making my cord. 1/6th the price of the welder

LXtasy · 06-20-2009, 12:05 PM

It will be more than 1/6th here. lol

Copper is still high. Electrical supply stores aren't going to be that much cheapier unless you know somebody.

At work we threw away about 250 lbs of cables from a mock up sub radio room. Some of the cable was 1/0 cable but only about x10 3pr x 10-15' pieces, if you want to rummage through the dumpster on base, you can have it, lol.

just move what you got to weld closer and save some money!

LXtasy · 06-21-2009, 08:51 AM

Its a trailer. Trailer will not fit in the garage.

BAD BOB · 06-21-2009, 10:09 AM

cut a wall down!

LXtasy · 06-21-2009, 11:55 AM

Negative Ghost rider. Than the a/c in the garage would have to removed and that is a BIG NEGATIVE! So that is out of the question.

Illusions · 06-21-2009, 01:04 PM

not to mention the second floor might not like the wall cut out..

BAD BOB · 06-21-2009, 01:46 PM

Welding thick plate to angle. My wire welder will not penetrate it good enough. So I am not even going to attempt that one. I picked up an arc welder and it can more than enough take care of the job

BigdaddyDupree · 06-21-2009, 05:49 PM

man hal im upset i didnt buy that trailer now. sounds like a jewel sorry you had to do so much work on the trailer

It was usable as it was. We are just making it better and the box more secure.

Also needing to install braces for electric winch inside the box. Trailer was still a great price. I don't have that much money in it. the metal decking is so we can install tie down hooks for the way we want to strap everything down.

Besides I'm not real fond of wood decking on car haulers. That's JMO.
