Has anyone heard of or done a conversion of a 115v wirefeed MIG welder to 230v? On the simple level it seems like it would be doable and all you would need to really do is put a transformer/converter in to take the 230 down to 115 for the wirefeed motor and maybe the fans and of course change to a heavier guage cord and new plug. Of course I could be mentally smoking dope and shouldn't even be wondering these things...
