This is the heaviest diy welder I have ever seen on KZbin so far . Amazing

[@RobertGracie]

You just know when Make It Extreme uploads a video its gonna be something EPIC, and this is EPIC work again guys, I hope you both never stop and continue to make art and mechanical marvels from Cyprus!!

[@NCT206]

yep ,, i am a fan of them for a long time, i like to make, but life doesn't allow🙂

[@DudleyToolwright]

Nice job. For your information, you shouldn't have sanded the outside of the transformer. The laminations are insulated from each other to prevent eddied currents in the core and unnecessary heating. By sanding them off they are all most likely shorted together. This is the reason you never see a cast single piece transformer core. It would be cheaper to make then this way, but they wouldn't work very well. Drilling and tapping the cores is also not a good idea. Think about it this way: the current flowing the the transformer core is current that could have been flowing through your wires.

[@l0k048]

but the microwave transformers are usually welded together, probably because it's cheaper even though it's less eficient

[@cranegantry868]

That's only on the surface where they are sanded, so internally there will be little eddy current. Should be ok. It will be noticeable in excessive heat in the core if there's too much eddy current. Nicely pointed out there, it shows you have good observational skills.

[@islanzadi1]

Zhat might be the most Professional made diy spotwelder that scares me brutally

[@trondwibe2618]

Very good, but I would like to see the electric schematics.

[@selulancie]

It truly is an awesome design. However if you want to see another homemade spot welder, check out Dan Gelbarts version, which is also seriously cool: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmOsmp9mm6uBb7s

[@AKAtheA]

yes, drilling and tapping several holes right into the iron core is so professional that not even the shadiest chinese-made spot welder would dare to do that...

[@olivervoss3196]

@@AKAtheA Atleast one other person with electrical knowledge around here

[@georgf9279]

@@olivervoss3196 Enlighten me. The holes make the transformer less effective and less efficient because the path for the magnetic flux is disturbed. But as long as the result still works it should be ok, right? Am I overlooking a hazard that's created by the holes?

[@thebmac]

Those finishing touches of the side grates, rounded corners, sleek handles. That's what really puts this above other DIY spot welders. Looks awesome!

[@perw12345]

I love that you take apart so many microwaves that you have a dedicated punch to get the copper leads out of the transformers.

[@RoboCNCnl]

One of the most useful builds... great work !

[@kanatfanwaibda3]

Beautiful, the king of innovation

[@cranegantry868]

Wow! Very nice build, looks good too and even has a simple but effective variable timer.

[@desoman72]

Grant Thompson, the King of Random (may he rest in peace), made one without the need to weld anything. Yours is amazing but I am mentioning it because this reminds me of his build from back in the day.

[@davidward1274]

This left me speechless pure dedication wow.

[@asvarien]

Amazing work as always, that is a beast of a machine! Think I preferred the background music from your earlier videos, helped me discover some artists I still listen to.

[@thomaspigg306]

It looks great!!! I really like the amp control knob.

[@TOMA21207]

This thing is 10x better then store-bought one. Epic video and epic build. Subscribed instantly.

[@andyu69]

One improvement I can see for this, is to have a foot release to free both hands, and not have someone else to open the jaws. Started making one a while ago, but the vids then, had you grind the transformer apart to remove the coil in one go. This way is so much better, as I don't have to work out how to reassemble the transformer casings.

[@metalmogul4691]

Wow, looks pretty good to me.

[@neiliewheeliebin]

The way you combined the transformers secondaries with the same cable is a good thanks for the tip

[@rv-eb3wu]

you have an awsome ability to bring thoughts to fruition, the factory ones that I ran had a foot pedal so that you had both hands free to locate the work and then actuate it by foot. But you probably already considered that.

[@kalleklp7291]

Mine is made with the same principle. I added a foot pedal ( dirt cheap from China) and a relay. It's in plastic housing, though as I don't like the idea of 220 VAC and a secondary with 150-200 A in a metal housing. Works flawless... :)

[@aquarius9909]

Awesome! For welding nails you need different , specially shaped electrode tips.

[@abelmachado7126]

Muito bom parabéns

[@sinanuzumozu6884]

The day you're in the shop thinking about your next build, I'd love to be able to read your mind for just 1 hour. Btw, a foot control would be a nice addition to this piece. *Well done.*

[@doubledarefan]

The magnetron (the component that produces the microwave radiation) was not included in the build, so no issues for pacemakers. Otherwise, people with pacemakers would have to stay away from everything that has transformers, especially those humming big green boxes outside.
