All I can say is that I grew up welding on an old Forney AC 220V machine. It has a 3 wire plug, 2 hots and a ground. It’s well over 40 years old as I’m am nearing 50 and remember Dad getting it when I was about 5. I assume the fan is running in 110V but they just wired it through the ground... could be wrong but I’ve seen worse.
Also it doesn’t take much moisture under your feet or kneeling on the metal that you’re welding to get a little tingle. Keeps you on your toes dad would say.
I have a couple other welders that I use more frequently now, an AC/DC Century and a Millermatic 220, plus a Deca Inverter and some other off shore tiny inverter. Never got a buzz from any of them but they are completely different t machines. Every now and then I will fire up the old Forney and it still does just as good a job as ever... which is fine for cruddy old farm repairs even if I do get a little tingle. Grant

I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
