Leave a message
When performing some small DIY projects or handmade projects, sometimes it is necessary to use spot welder to welded metal components. Today we will introduce how to make a simple hobby wire welding machine used to complete some small welding projects.
Material Preparation:
1. welding machine (old handheld welding machine or low-power welding machine for DIY)
2. Cable (thick copper wire)
3. Power switch
4. Insulation wire
5. Folder or pinch
6. Wire pliers
7. Insulation tape
8. Light metal workbench
Production Steps:
1. Prepare the old handheld wending machine or buy a low-power wending machine for DIY. The power of welding machine does not require high power. Generally, the needs of the DIY small project can be met below 30 amp.
2. Use a thick copper wire to make the electrode. Fix the copper wire on the two clamps or clips to ensure that there is a certain pressure on the fixture to apply sufficient pressure during welding.
3. Connect the power switch. Install the power switch on the wire and connect the power switch with the welding machine with an insulating wire. Make sure that the wire connection is firm and insulating to ensure safe use.
4. Adjust the welding machine settings. According to the project needs, adjust the current and time settings of welding machine to obtain the appropriate welding effect.
5. Install the hobby wire spot welder on the metal workbench. Install the electrode fixture on the metal workbench, so that the workpiece can be fixed and welded.
6. Use an insulating tape to fix the wires on the fixture to prevent the wire from shake or loosen.
7. Welding test. Before forming formal welding, conduct some small tests to ensure the normal work of spot welder.
Through the above steps, you can make a simple wire spot welder. This DIY spot welder is suitable for some small welding items, such as welding electronic parts and repair metal items. During use, be sure to pay attention to safety, avoid danger of electric shock and burns. I hope this guide can help you make a practical DIY spot welder, making your handmade project more smooth and interesting!
