Hi! This is John from expertvillage.com. In this video clip, I will be discussing the proper set up for arc welding. The first item in our welding set up is an AC and/or DC power source. Next you have your input power, which plugs into a wall typically and this will go into the welder. Your electrode lead will go from the power source into your electrode holder. Next you have your work lead, which goes from the welder to the base metal and on the end of that you have a ground clamp.
