giampieroricci Posted 21 hours ago Author #569 Posted 21 hours ago (edited) I am sharing a video I made for those interested in small metal welding. Following some tutorials and videos, I built myself a resistance welder; it is a type of welder that they use mainly in model railways, where it is necessary to make many close welds. This type of soldering iron uses a 10 Ah transformer with 3-6V outputs and has the advantage that it heats, by means of a small graphite electrode and a ground wire, exactly the spot where the soldering is to take place for just a few seconds; this means that you can also make close-set soldering joints without running the risk of desoldering those previously made. Various types of tips can be used, including a ‘clamp’ system, which is very useful when parts to be soldered must be held together. Everything else is self-made and I must say that I am very satisfied with the results!

dvm27 Posted 14 hours ago #570 Posted 14 hours ago Fantastic video Giampiero! Silver solder will not work if gaps are present. Is this the same for resistance soldering?
