Hobart 210mvp welding cart

admin

Got my first welder a Hobart 210mvp, here is my first welding project, a welding cart.
Reply:Nice and simple. I am in the process of designing one for 4 machines. I want it to have a few drawers but concerned about weight. I may pare down to 2 carts with a drawer each and start with your design.
Reply:very professional the colors make it look like it came with the machine. good job and happy welding
Reply:I made it so I could put a stick welder on the bottom and perhaps a plasma cutter on the second shelf.
Reply:Very Nice!
Reply:Nice, I also like the colors. The black shelves and orange rim really stand out.
Reply:I've got the same welder and had the same problem...This was my answer to it.I frigging LOVE that Hobart 210 MVP, so it sits on top, next down is the HF plasma, which also works stellar, then a Hobart AC/DC 235 stick machine on the bottom...on the back of the cart is two 150 CF bottles-one contains C25 and the other straight Argon.My cart also contains a 3 plug nema 6-50 gang box so the whole cart can operate off a single 50 ft cord.That rig weighs in at 600 lbs, so make sure to get quality casters WITH foot brakes!

Reply:Pic above is how I handled pesky bottle latch problem-I just rolled some thin 1" strap and fabed up some hinges, then used drop in pins to lock them in place.Then I sprayed the whole works with Rustoleum rattle can truck bed liner...That stuff is bullet proof
Reply:Here's the cart's Nema 6-50, 3 plug gang box.....I mounted it up right behind the plasma cutter. This way ALL welding/cutting machines remain plugged in and the cart can operate off just one 50foot  extension cord no matter where I roll it in shop or carport.....The spool gun case sits below on bottom shelf Last edited by pigeonpoop; 12-20-2013 at 06:23 AM.
Reply:My suggestion to you is to forget the low, slanted, typical, old school MIG cart....They are pure **** and way too easy to topple over when moving them around the shop.....WAY too many folks today STILL copy them when they build their first welding cart-I'm guilty of it my self.Instead, build you MIG welder cart high and flat so that your welding and work leads are near table top level, and configure it with 4 LARGE swivel casters vice the fixed rear wheels and itty bitty front swivel casters-AND make it to where the foot print is WIDE so it won't topple over when you roll it over an extension cord or piece of scrap.ENJOY!   You have a FINE welder to get you started and really decent fab skills
