Description: Using parts from old Microwave ovens, build an arc welder! These plans include details for small 120 volt portable units all the way up to 250 amp, 240 volt units. You can easily scale the design up even more if you wish. What you get is the inside scoop on microwave oven scavenging, the basics of electricity, and dozens of high quality color illustrations and schematics to get you on the fast track to building this very useful shop tool. My design also incorporates an exclusive solid state controller using low cost parts easily purchased on eBay or other online sources. I have had 5+ years perfecting the design and it works! You won't find better information on this controller than right here. Learn about welders! Save money! Win first place at the high school science fair! Think about what this will look like on your resume! And if AC welding isn't enough, there is also a chapter on building the heavy duty DC rectifier bridge so you can weld with DC (direct current). Please note that this is a large pdf file to download (4.6MB). I didn't skimp, it's 90 pages and there's lots of illustrations. So when you go to download the file, I strongly recommend you right-click the download link and save the file to your desktop. (Don't try to open the file in your browser.) Project time: Several weekends Estimated cost: free to $150 |

Customer Reviews:Christopher Johnson (Friday, 30 January 2009)Rating:  This is an amazingly detailed description of building your own welder. It has TONS of background information so even if you're not an electrical engineer (like me), you should still be able to understand it. I can't imagine how long it took to put the book together, but it is definitely worth the cost. Even if you're not going to build a welder, it will help you understand how they work. |
