--Hi gang. I'm looking to get my hands on a spot welder. 220v single phase power available and hope to get something I can put on a pestal (I'll make one) and use to tack stuff together, probably no more than 1/16" thick but ya never know. I understand that a decent machine has variable current and variable time control and that would seem to be the minimum requirement beyond enough power to get the job done. Recommendations welcome.


Ebay.

Next would be Craigslist

third would be a machinery dealer.

The big question is..and you will need to figure it out..is how many
amps do you need for your projects..both now and later?

The Harbor Freight spot welders will do 1/16" weldments easily.

They certainly wont do much more than that however....ever.

Oh...and remember...stainless steel rating is about 1/2 of mild steel
for spot welding...IE..you will need 100% more to spot weld SS than
you need for mild steel.
