    Okay just when you think you've seen it all, here we are turning the tungsten upside down and making spot welds..👍 love it, can't wait to give that a try. Thanks!

    First time I have seen that trick. Amazing! Everyone else on RUclips switches to plug welding when their spot welder won’t fit (unless they have one of those old school industrial units with the separate electrodes.)

    Tried this today. Works on test pieces. I think I could set the pulser as a timer for it. I don't do 1/4 panels anymore so maybe I will get to use it on something. I have tig'd plug welds when I don't want sparks, had no idea I could do this.

    I learned a while back to harness your Chicago Electric resistance spot welder to a cherry picker if you have a lot of challenging spot welds. Your arms will thank you. Also, get the 240 volt version. I am turning my Chicago Electric resistance spot welder into a spot dent puller to make it a multi-use tool. Thanks for the idea on the tig spot welder.

      Invest in Furick cups they are the best, I think that was a 10, I'll look when I go to the shop tomorrow.

    I have the same lincoln tig welder, that is an awesome trick and can't wait to try it and get sweet spot welds like those! Some advise on welding aluminum, I've been having a hard time welding aluminum with my machine, it seems to blast the filler rod and doesn't like to make a steady puddle, its like the base and filler aluminum don't like to mix.

    • @guzzifabrication3448
      @guzzifabrication3448  Месяц назад +1

      This might sound silly... but the machine is set to AC when welding aluminum? do you have a good ground and the clamp and connections tight? if aluminum is not extra clean you will have problems, correct gas flow? Check these and let me know. Thanks

  • @deuceman32
    @deuceman32 3 месяца назад +1

    What a great idea! I'm going to give this a try. I'm also going to see if I can groove the edge of a ceramic cup so that the argon will flow (dremel diamond wheel?). Robert, have you tried this with the zinc weld thru? I have a 240v spot welder similar to yours and have found that the results with copper weld thru were not as good as bare steel.

    • @guzzifabrication3448
      @guzzifabrication3448  2 месяца назад +1

      I always coat the " sandwiched " or backside with weld through primer, the thing is if the primer is too thick, it will implead the current. Thanks !!

  • @BugeyeBob-zt6ne

    Am I correct in thinking this requires high frequency start? Or is cranking up the amperage enough to get the arc to start?

      I would love to, but the owner handled having the tank painted and installing the glass, I handled the Metalwork and welding.... I am working on another maybe a couple of months, stay tuned.
