Can you get shocked from Welder?

Yes but it doesn't happen very often.

If the metal is wet or damp you may get shocked, same as with wet gloves.

Welding in the rain can be dangerous, a welder in my area was killed a few years back welding in the rain, apparently the electricity burned a hole the size of a golf ball out the side of his neck when he got shocked.

It only takes .5 miliamps to kill a human, and you can easily be working with 100-400 amps when welding for if you happen to become part of the circuit you might be in trouble.

I have been shocked a bunch of times before, usually it just feels like touching an electric fence.

P.s.

A mig welder is pretty safe, your not likely to electrocute yourself with one, usually people get fried using stick because your that much more exposed to a potential path of electricity, I wouldn't worry about getting electrocuted with a mig welder, the gun is insulated and if you have gloves on you will never get shocked from the work piece or your bench.

The thing that you can get a shock off of this is this machine. Now that the MIG welding machine is usually electrode dead, there is no power at the electrode until you pull the trigger. While the wire is being fed through the contactor tip at the front of the MIG gun that wire is live, there is electricity there and if it comes into contact with your body and you are grounded you are going to get an electric shock off of that. So please be careful about that situation.

Now we use electricity in the arc welding process to create the weld puddle. Therefore it is obvious that there is electricity used in the process and if it is improperly handled that can cause a serious electric shock.

if you are not wearing your gloves or if your gloves are wet and you are grounded, if it happened to touch something with any part of your body, and this electrode comes into contact with your skin you can get a severe electric shock. So it is very important to wear dry clothing, keep yourself insulated and away from end of the electrode.

Of course you can. Although it's not likely to kill you at 21 volts. The Amperage is pretty high though

at 100 to 200 amps so if you were silly enough to put yourself between the rod or wire and the earth, it will give you a fair old belt on the fingers. lol

Juice can't travel down the handle cuz it's an insulator.

Look the wire comes out the tip and arcs as soon as it makes contact with the work. the current then travels to earth through the earth you should have clamped to the work or table the work is on so it can't jump to you and the tip shroud should be too close to the work to get your fingers in and second you should be wearing gauntlets. .

Flux cored is crap by the way you should use bare wire with either Argon or a mixed gas, even co2 will give better results.

you sure can and get burnt too. that,s why they have welding gloves.
