You should use a double breaker that supports 240 instead of using 2 120 breakers its safer and you only need to run one 240 wire instead of 2 120 wires

not exactly legit. your house needs to be known to the utility co that a 240 installation is there, and an electrician is req'd. not a recommended DIY project.

lol guys. true but ya know.... everything i do is "not exactly legit...." I would have rather done it with the 240v breakers but dad said not allowed to touch panel, and needed 240v for welding. i so far tho never really used it b/c my welder works ok off 120v, which is crazy tho.
