Dan,
If your client is stuck on the idea of a stick welder, the 120 volt
models are pretty cheesy...240V is the way to go. However, I've welded many
miles of steel with a Miller 120 volt wire feed machine that does 3/16"
material easy and 1/4" if the joint design is set up right. Yes, the 120 volt
MIG machines are more money than the 120 volt stick welders, but they will weld
98% of everything most folks need.
I power my wire feed with 2, FX 3524's set up for 120V only and have
never in about 15 years now, had a problem. One FX?....don't know.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] NEC 690.10(C) talking points
Esteemed Wrenches;
Can anyone here help me with some simple talking points for clients
installing off grid systems? 240 Well pumps hard wired to panel breakers are
common, but everybody (who has even a chance of surviving up here in middle of
nowhere way off grid) NEEDS a 240v welder outlet in the garage/workshop. But
690.10(C) says no.
Am I missing something obvious? What do I tell these potential clients?
