I have an old range in my garage that I want to use for powder coating.I currently have a NEMA 6-50 receptacle with a 50 AMP breaker-installed 2 years ago for my ARC welder. I have a 6 gauge 3 wire cord with green/white/black wires (shown) with a male end that fits the NEMA 6-50 receptacle (shown). How can I hard wire the cut end of the 3 wire cord (shown) to the range? Possible? Safe of course? Model (shown). wiring diagram (shown).
Thank You

You can't to what you want to do. Your welder needs 120V, 120V and a ground so that's 240V & ground. Your cord has black, white & green wire so one hot goes to black, the other hot goes to white (code lets you do that) and ground goes to green.
Your oven needs 120V, 120V, a neutral and a ground. It's not straight 240V like the welder, It needs 120V also so the neutral is required. The cord you want to use has a black, white and green wire. If the black goes to the black wire, the white to the white (neutral) and the green to ground.... guess what, nothing to the red so oven won't work. Even if you foolishly decided not to ground the oven, you would never be allowed to use the green wire to connect to the red oven wire and change the outlet. You need a four wire cord, plug and outlet or a grounded FMC with a black, red and white wire.
