Stud Welder

admin

Is there some kind of stud welder that you can hook up to your standard multi-process power supply?  We've got plenty of power supplies where I work but don't really want to spend the money on a stand-alone stud welding unit.  We need to be able to fasten up to 3/8ths inch studs.

Reply:I just saw this post and couldn't even remember how to check PM's.  I figured it out but I missed the posting.  We are without electrician at work at the moment and he is the one that would be using the stud welder.  We opted to use a system that uses Band-It bands instead of studs for hanging wires.  I still want a stud welder, though.

Reply:what kind of size and capacity are you looking for? Theres tons of sheet metal sized stud welders out there on the market that are very portable and don't require much more space than a normal sized inverter.i ran across a ton of these when looking for a unit that would shoot 1" studs.Vantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.
Reply:As long as you use a stick machine, you can add a timer/contactor and stud gun and use your own welder. Works fine and can be done for about 600 to 1200. Actually, if you only need 3/8", you can get a complete set for pretty close to the same amount and not have to tie up your welder. weldersales
