s, I found that the spot welder in the shop just has a heat %, and is otherwise more or less automatic. No amp controls, no tip pressure controls. Since it’s big enough for aluminum, I tried things until something worked. I now can into aluminum.

You have a spot welder? Fancy a trip up to Wisconsin in a few weeks with it? Need to spot weld metal onto Dogapult’s race car. I will pay you in beer.

The spot welder at my place of work is a giant murder machine with 50kVA capacity and sadly not mine. Also very possibly 3 phase. I do have a little portabitch spot welder, but it’s only... 4kVA, which meant aluminum rated a “fuck no”. Al needs >20 kVA. As we know, Horribilus Rusticus Celicae is a species with steel exoskeleton, so within the capacity of the bitchbox.
I’ve been looking at heading to Dayton in some weeks, maybe. WI is further, but I’ll keep that in mind.

The shop is two-phase, and has only a 20 amp service. So I don’t know if it will work there. Might have to stick to plug-welding with the 15a flux core wire feed.

I meant the giant welder o’ death wouldn’t work even if I could borrow it and/or transport it. The little spot welder is 240V single phase and small enough to stick in a trunk. Also, flux core? Ewww.

The shop only has 120v. I have a 220v outlet at the house for the dryer.

It might actually be 120. Probably not, as 4kVA would be about 30A, but I can’t rule it out. Probably 220/240.

Yeah, that would trip the breaker on the shop. The wiring on it is really sketch.
