IF you will be happy with limiting your welding to 100 amps AND
your clothes dryer is in the garage, you're looking at a 50 amp circuit.
I have a 235 amp stick which requires 60 amps and a 155 amp MIG
which is happy at less then 50 amps. Build an adapter with some Romex
and you're welding, at least till a more "code friendly" solution is
worked out.  Worst that can happen is trip the breaker. But, it's
cheep, or, the more politically correct...."budget friendly".
