can this be used to power a welding machine?

I m not sure. I use it for indoor electric staffs like blender, fm radio, laptop, light, refrigerator, etc.. It s very nice

look at the power draw on the welder, see if it is within the power output of the generator.

I can't think of any reason why not. I used it for computers and cellphones. A sewing machine should have a motor and an optional light, so I would.

my machine will run fine on 20 amp breaker on 50 ft. cord . amazing. You also can weld aluminum with this machine D.C. straight polarity with helium.

As long as the power consumption from the machine does NOT exceed 400W. I don't think it does but just make sure. You can look on the stickers of the machine and find out.Note that this converter is the higher end model not like the other cheaper model that do NOT have the pure sine wave output (those goes for like ~$60).

Yes, depending on how many amps it draws. If you have lights or other accessories you would have to go with a more substantial converter.

I wouldn't know why not, depending on how many amps the generator can support at 220v. What is the output of your generator? Is the 220v outlet rated at "X" number of amps? Depending on how you are setting the welder, you may need up to 20 amps of service from the generator, which may be higher than it is rated.

i am not an expert by any means.....and although i have not tried it, it was one of the reasons i purchased it....for multi use (exhaust, mower decks, farm equip, etc.) So, if you get the amps right and the correct rod so you don't blow a hole through the thin material, you might be able to do it. Although, i believe a mig welder would be more suited to this application. sorry, i can't give you an experienced answer

So, according to the manual for this welder it should be plunged in to 20A breaker. 20A at 120V is 2400 watts. You might be able to get away with smaller but I do not have any data on actual current draw by the device. It would be the power output plus any power used by the device for the total power used.

My welder was a recycled machine and DOA; I never struck an arc with it and sent it back. I suggest you look here and/or contact Everlast: http://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/tig-stick/powerarc-200

The beauty of this machine is it can use 110v or 220v outlets. Yes, you can use a normal 110 plug, but you should have a 20 Amp service to the outlet you are going to use. If you are going to weld heavy material the 110v service may not be adequate. I have welded 1/8" and 1/4" material with 110v no problem. Note that your duty cycle my be diminished, but for hobby welding or light industrial, you should be OK.

The generator has a NEMA 14-50 outlet. It's four wire, with two hots, a neutral and the ground so it can provide both 240 and 120. I don't know anything about Eastwood welders, but since welders only use 240 they typically use a NEMA 6-50 three wire plug. I think you'd need to make a short adapter cord to plug your welder into the generator.

If this is arc welding, then a higher voltage would allow a smaller tip. Most laboratory power supplies have a current limiting setting (left set of knobs). When operating in constant current mode, the supply will adjust it's voltage to whatever is needed to maintain that current. If that voltage is close to zero (due to short circuit), the current will still flow at the limit setting. If you max out the current limit setting to 3A, and the resistance is not too low, the supply can offer up to 30 volts (90 Watts max).

No way. Get a rechargable battery and use this to recharge it between uses. Max power is 5 Watts, 1/12 of what your motor wants.

Yes of course you can. I bought this for my soy milk mechine from China which is 220V/1700W, and it runs all good.

It most certainly can.This is a great machine for the money.The key to such thin material is to weld slow,and give it a chance to cool.And as far smaller welder don't waste your time or money.Hope this helps.

Yes you can, that's the first thing I did was use it as a plastic welder. I used it to repair a crack on my motorcycle fairing.

The welder will operate from standard EU voltages. The power connector is not an EU standard connector. You would need to either change the connector at the end of the power cord or install a 6-50r outlet into your building wiring. If you purchased the outlet and box, it would be pretty straightforward to wire it in, but because the U.S. spec equipment is typically not IEC compliant, you would likely not pass code.
