I have MODEL 110-110 mastercraft 230v welder and want to connect to 60 amp subpanel,welder has 3 prong plug,I have outlet box for 3prong,cable has 4 wires,red black blue green,I think I can connect cable red and black to 50 amp breaker,green to ground,blue tape white and connect to neutral bar.. is this correct, can I use 50amp breaker in 60amp subpanel, I have 5 -15 amp breakrs and 1-20 amp, will this be safe to do?

The actual load of the welder would depend on the thickness of metal being welded. I doubt your welding a ship, so most likely the weld will work fine off the 60 amp panel.

Most welders only need two hots and a ground. Does yours require the neutral?

Tkrussel, thank you, not sure, plug on welder is 2 prongs and a ground plug,I want to run to outlet box,how do I connect, think red and black to breaker and ground wire to ground in panel,, tape off xtra wire, will welder casing be safe, I'll check welder to see if white is hooked up to plug, thank you,,

This should be all you need to do:
