Originally I had to spend $600 to buy a spot welder. This really saves a lot of money.
Transformer : 600W transformer out of a microwave
Case: amplifier case
I was looking at this

it’s great! This will be easy to make.
has anyone had experience using this control board?
Did you ever end up buying this?
Nope, I just got a transformer and a timing circuit, Didnt even end up using that either
lol, my microwave fuse was shot so they ended up replacing the transformer and magnetron. (cause capitalism). so now i have a transformer in my lap, im gonna try and make it into a spot welder. you wanna sell me your timing circuit?
Sure, let me find it
Its this and my phone is dead so I cant take a pic
alright nvm. i’l just buy the whole set from aliexpress. thanks anyways.
I dont know about others but I feel like there’s much more freedom and control when you have both electrodes in your hands
So no pen or arm
Yeah but you need to have both pens set to a certain fixed distance from each other right? Or you just free hand both the arms and use the foot switch to weld?
Distance is not fixed, just close together
And yes
This welder looks amazing.
How did you made the secondary part of the transformer? From what I see there is only one coil.
