Safety Concern: Closing your eyes does not protect you from the UV radiation produced in ALL welding practices be it tiny or welding together a bridge. You absolutely MUST at the very least wear eye protection with a 100% UV rating. I am astounded that "closing your eyes" is even mentioned in this video.

Thanks for the thoughts you have discussed here.

Thank you for your demonstration, it was helpful.

Thank you for posting the video. What settings have you set for the coarse and the micro tunes to weld silver and gold jewellery items?

difference between fine adjustment and coarse adjustment. so that you use each one

Interesting, like a TIG without the inert gas. I've seen these pulse welders before with the inert gas, they can be pretty impressive.

im making byzantine brazelets in 9mmx1.6mm and thinking about doing this to all the rings, i know it takes time but it is just a thought. wil the welder leave a coloring mark?

Hi there, I see you have a small pair of flat nose pliers, how did you manage to drill the second hole as they have been tempered? I have the exact pair but I cannot drill a hole with conventional drill bits.

Hey bud .. say I had some pores I need to fill in a piece of copper.. can I jam some copper wire in the hole and arc it to fill that void.. sorry if this is a dumb question .. thanks for reply.. if u can plz

@hitty Thought i'd chime in... been buying their products for over 7 years. I would start small & do Jewelry pieces using instructions avaliable at the site. I wouldn't do full on costumes from the get-go as you will probably get burnt out. I started by finishing a belt my friend had made out of steel. I also consider that too hard of a metal for myself as I have small hands & don't want to get carpel tunnel or arthritis. I use aluminum, copper, silver &brass. Hope that helped a bit. Go for it!

Is this basically TIG welding without the gas? And is this machine capable of welding something thin to something thick, like stainless steel foil (0.03mm thick) to a thick piece of metal?

Hello, Can this leave a black stain on the soldered spot? I have a big problem with this Thanks

For gold repairs; Do you use the tungsten wire? Or do they recommend like a 28ga half hard ? thanks again.

my left ear enjoyed this ^^ great machine though

My my sister would love one of these she's been wanting to do some wire jewelry but soldering is a massive pain in the ass.

Can you please describe how to use the course tune and micro tune? I think my knobs are broken. I am trying to use it with wire and it burned through.

Porfavor me podrías informar qué tipo de electrodo se utiliza? Gracias por tu respuesta.

Can I use a solder wire to fill gaps about 1/64"- 1/32"?

Can this machine be used to weld brass rods and plates together? This is for brass musical instruments?

It looks as though you are holding the ring against the ceramic with your fingers as well as the grounded pliers at 2:23. And you are definitely holding/steadying the grounded pliers in other welds. I thought you'd get a shock as you are now part of the circuit... How is that, or do you just make sure you yourself are not separately grounded (like via the chair to the ground)?

Hola ,que electrodo usas para la máquina , y que niveles de Micro tune y course utilizas para acero inoxidable saludos de México

a question, because my welding machine thunders when I turn it on????

Hi sir very nice work Sir the anode you are using is made of what metl.

The only problem I see with is the lack of reach. I make full chainmail armor. It would be a pain to move it around to get to final rings of the armor.

Can it weld genuine Brass (not Brass plated iron) 10x1mm jump rings?

it is possible for this welder to weld 2 components together, eg a ring to a pendant?

I was trying to reweld a broken thin weld on a ring, I was unsuccessful in trying to weld a small thin chain together using it at different settings

I've been looking at this tool, but I had a couple questions. You say that it welds "silver" up to 20 and sometimes 18g with a single pulse, 18g sometimes takes 2, and 16 takes as many as four. I'm assuming that the silver that you are talking about is sterling, I was wondering is it similar for Argentium? I saw that steel has a very distinct and clear discoloration at the welds, does this also happen with Argentium, or is it something that will be seamless after I heat-treat and tumble-burnish the finished piece? Also, when you are talking about the wire gauge, are you talking about AWG or SWG? My silver, gold and copper are all swg. Most of my current work is made from 16swg and 18swg. I'm looking to expand and improve the craftsmanship on my Argentium pieces, to make them a more premium high-end line. While I am planning on doing finer pieces at finer gauges, I also like having pieces in the heavier 16 and 18swg, particular for my men's pieces. This seems to be right on the cusp of being an effective tool for my needs, but I'm not entirely sure.

Curious, It looks like you have contact with your fingers when you discharge the pulse to make the weld, do you suffer a shock or is it better to avoid contact with your fingers when you trigger the charge?

People are calling this a laser welder...it is not. I is called an arc welder or more specifically a pulse arc welder.

can i use this welder to spot weld 1/16 aluminum for hobbys

Hi John. i have a welder that is just like that. i noticed first off that you have an interesting way the tungsten needle is positioned on a stand, and i do not see the gun. needle is exposed. which i am novice so please forgive me, im curious, if i may ask where can i get that set up? Also, i noticed it seems like you are touching the jump ring and / or top of your grounding pliers (which are not coated with plastic protection) with your finger tips. I didn't think you were supposed to touch those items. im happy to see that you do, i would like to as well, but a little timid at this starting point.

is the clamp part of the welding possess? like positive and negative side. cause I need to weld a pin inside a watch shoulder but there is not enough room for the clamp to reach inside and clamp the nail. so would it work with out clamp? will it work if I attach clamp to nearby metal that is attached to the pin I wish to melt?

Will this discolor or tint some metals like Titanium?

Can you weld stainless steal with thia machine... And this use gas or not

can you retip prongs​ or welding sank 2 to 4mm ?

Tig weld. You could also do broken keys

Wonder is u can use this on thin sheet metal

Hi RingLord, excelent video. Does this machine needs argon gas for welding gold, steel,brass? Thanks. Claudio.

I have that one but I dont know what king of tungsten needle I need to buy, I mean the color. I need for silver and gold.

Ok I got one 30A same as you.. At first was mild sparkling but not soldering, suddenly star a big spark braking the joints and turning it black even my fingers... Do you know whats the problem there?

Hi, this looks like an execellent welder for jewellery, does this machine require any type of gas to operate, or is it soley electric power, one other point..how safe did you find it? what may happen if you touch the electrode or work at time of spark ?

hello thank you for sharing this helpful video,i have some question ,what is deference between this machine and argon spot welder machine(i think that machine needs argon gas tank for welding)and where can i find tungsten needle for these kind of machine ,i mean spare(extra) tungsten needle.please let me know .thank you so much

can it welds post earring to silver chain ends making ear threads? thank you

Will it weld pure copper wire too?

I do jewelry repair, I still use the old method of a gas and oxygen powered torch and solder. How does this work, would I still need to use the solder?

Quick question, I'm a goldsmith I fix jewelry for a living, I am looking to get this same exact welder for my store. How well can this repair prongs on a ring? Say the customer has an Opal or Emerald ring, which is a soft stone, would I be able to repair a prong on the ring without having to remove the stone, as I would usually have to do with my torch. If it can would you be able to show video? thanks

Good afternoon. Bought the same. I need to weld ducts 0.9 mm stainless steel. It's not working yet. Can you advise what values should be put on "krutilka" Well, or how to check its power? Maybe I got the wrong one. Thanks in advance.

Any tips on welding on an eyelet? I can get a perfect weld on a jump ring, but when trying to make an Eyelet out of the same wire to attach the jumpring to a carved pendant, the joint absolutely will not weld.

I need instructions for Welder Laser Spot Welding Machine Tool DX-30A 110 / 220V user manual, I urgently need it. Thank you very much

Can you use this to fill wear holes on the corners of gold filled watch cases? Obviously would need gold wires to weld with(I think)?

If I have to weld a frame with a 1mm thick sheet but a large 2cm x 1.5cm, then it does not? Not even if I do all around small welds? Does it count only the thickness of the thread or even the total size of the object?

Hi excelent video. ¿Does this machine needs argon gas for welding sterling silver? Thanks.

Hi, I just receive this model in 80A I ordered. 1) Could you explain me how you choose the setting. Coarse and micro tune are available, but potentiometers have a vernier, that says that we should not need a micro tune. What is the real function of te micro tune? If I understand you in the video, you turn them at the same time, but without clear explanation. The coarse is probably for the currant, but the fine tune? is it not for the time of the spark when you press on the pedal? You have a 30A welding tool. On the 80 A there is an other switch Min - Max. Do you know what is the function? 2) If we look at the Titan electrodes in a catalog, there are a lot of various titan blending WT20, WC20, WL20, WL15, WZ8, WY20, WP. Which one is the best to weld silver jewelry? 3) Do you have a table with the start setting recommandation for the different materials? Thank a lot

Here's a question: could this be used for metal work on other small hobby projects (like RC cars, for example)? And how much is it?

Whats your rod size and what color rods are you using ??

Do you use any argon or any filler metal

ola meu amigo, quanto custa uma maquina dessa ?

Hi, I am wanting to make my own jump rings to attach to some chains. Will this work for gold fill jewelry?

I have just purchased this machine in the UK but it has come without the ceramic nozzle. How important is this? Can it be used safely without it? Your video is the best one out there and is really helpful, so thank you. I am planning to use it to solder sterling silver jump rings so any advice would be great. Thank you

is there a way to add a shielding gas to this?

So I get that I'm like a decade late to the party. But at 3:37 you mention using a pair of pliers to test the ring weld strength, and using a pair of pliers with some notches ground in them so the ring doesn't fly off the tip. Snap Ring Pliers are the tool you've halfway made, there, and I'd wager they're probably more safe from losing what you're working on, though less versatile than your option as they're not also cutting pliers.

Hi will it work with thin steel?

Thank you for doing the video tutorial. Much appreciated. Other than buying the machine, what other additional things would you recommend me to purchase if I want to do sterling silver, rose gold, yellow gold or white gold welding on jewellery pieces?

What's the maximum wire Gauge it can spot weld properly ?

I have the same welder, but it didn't come with the white ceramic cone for the electrode. Where do you get those, and can I find them on Amazon?

Can I weld silver findings onto 316l steel rods with 1.2/1.6 mm thickness? Thanks

Hi I am very interested in purchasing this machine, however do you have to use only a tungsten electrode or can you use some sort of gold electrode. I would like to weld 22kt gold, if you could give me more information I would really appreciate it.

My sparkle welder is only sparking like 1 out of 30 times. I tried cleaning the electrodes with sandpaper. Any other ideas? I don’t have a ceramic piece for my electrode like yoy do so I just try to hold steady in mid-air and close my eyes. Maybe I’m moving a bit ? How do I get one of those ceramic things to lean against ?

would this spot welder be good for 30 guage sheet metal?

Can you weld coin conchos with that welder??

Hi, this is by far the most useful video in regards to this machine I can find online, so thank you. I am looking at getting one but will it weld two pieces together? Like joining a brooch back to sheet silver or is this two much for the machine? I can't see this question asked else where apologise if you have answered this before. Many thanks

What kind of electrode this machine use?

Does not work for permanent jewelry.

Do you have any spot welder for gold jewelry, if you have please sent me the video snd the price

Dear John, I've been looking at your videos for awhile and have been wanting to do something opposite of what my friend does, which is papercraft. I really don't know where to start, and I was hoping you'd set me in the right direction. I'm not gonna do this commercially because I have other important matters to take of, and maybe just do this as a hobby from time to time, maybe make costumes for conventions. What should I do?

Does anybody know where i can find that ceramic nozzle? Thanks

It seems to be the cheapest mains spot welder I can find. Can it be used to weld nickel strips to 18650 batteries?
