Recommendation for stud welder (PEM style, not autobody)

admin

Greetings all,   I need a (very) light duty stud welder.  I need to weld PEM style studs (threaded) to light gauge boxes/plates.  E.G. boxes are made from 24gauge metal.  Studs would be in the size range of 4-40 thread to 8-32 thread.   Most stud welders I find on EBAY (etc) are big dollars ($1000+) and have capability of 1/2" studs and larger.  I will never need the power/size to do these larger sizes.Thanks

Reply:Hi Swamper,I upgraded my welder a couple years back.  I was keeping my older Erico stud welder as a backup and never needed it.  It is still in good working condition.  If your interested, I make you a good deal, as long as it got to a good home.  I am in Pittsburgh PA.Thanks,Jason
