    Miller 220V spot welder - why does it have 4 wires in its cord?

    Keep it simple, use a 4 pole twist lock male on the cord end off the spot and install a female flush twist lock on the timer, as that is the electrical hot end. Use a SO or equivalent cord of the same gauge wire as the spot welders current wiring. Make the dog leg on the twist lock your ground.

    U.S. Industrial plate roller

    My two cents, rebuild what you have, the cost to go through that machine would be light years less then a new inport. and if it is in fact a P&H it's a hell of a machine. You can change out the mechincal roller lift with a simple hydraulic lift system. I purchsed a monster roll from Hopper...
