Kondia FV-1 Head disassembly

[Rickabilly]

Hmmm,
Black powder, ;o)

A stud welder can be improvised by use of a MIG, no wire of course, just unhook the feeder mechanism,
take an old copper tip and drill it out to suit a nail, slide the nail into the tip, point first

Turn all of the settings to maximum turn the gas on flat out as well (just to help with cooling)

If you have a short gas lens use it(lens is the correct name for the tubular shroudy thingy on a MIG or TIG), the nail head needs to stick out past the lens, if you dont have a short enough one get an oldy and cut it short,

If you have a "stitch" setting set it to 1 second pulses, if not you will need to pull the trigger for about a second.

Now simply push the nail head against the sheet where you want to tack the stud and press the trigger for about a second, more or less time on the trigger as you see fit and there you have it a stud welder.

Not a good idea to do this a lot but it will get you out of trouble, just leave it a minute or two between studs and it won't do any harm to your MIG,

Of course weld stud after stud all day and you will cook your transformer.

So this method is also suitable for the removal of small mechanical parts like the thingy in question here.

Who knows might be worth a go.
Best Regards
