Hi All,
I recently acquired the above stud welder for the princely sum of £80. No guarantee it worked and is missing the stud gun. I temporary connected it to my 32 amp 3 phase welding socket (I know the unit ideally requires 63amp supply), and it powered up ok. I upgraded my installation to a...
Thanks for the reply. The oil feed unloader is ok it was just the link rod and top arm that was bent. I have figured the how they work. I was really after a parts diagram or service manual, if anyone can help.
I will be sure to leave it to the gran kids if I ever have any:D
Hi All,
I have recently purchase a 1966 Broom Wade RM20 Compressor set up. I am amazed at how well it works. I have decided to carry up and light restoration and a general tidy up. I was wondering if anyone can help me with parts information and setting up the oil fed unloader as it was damaged...
I don’t thinking that is the case, if you read the whole thread, this has only happened since swapping wire to gas shielded and polarity, if you mean loose +ve then yes this could also be the case.
I don't disagree with others, however, are you 100% sure the metal you are trying to weld is ok. There is evidence of rust on the edges, also I have had similar soot deposit from metal that was electroplated with some for of anti-corrosion coating.
Also have you checked the groove on the wire...
If you are planning on using flux cored wire all the time, like I do, I would recommend fitting a new or making a new rectifier, made with Vishay diodes instead of the low quality automotive alternator diodes that the original rectifier is made of.
It improved the quality of the welds and...
Thanks for your replies, I am at home at the moment, welder is at my unit. Will take some more pics tomorrow.
As for the part numbers, the pots are chromed on the back and sadly quite rusty. Also someone has been there messing before me and just want to confirm all is good.
I think the welder...
I have recently purchased a used mig welder as per the title. I was wondering if anyone can help me with a schematic for this welder as I need to change the two pots on the front panel due to previous damage.
I have included some pictures of the welder in question. Please excuse my post as I’m...
That should be perfect as there is enough room to snake the cable behind the rectifier. As the whole plate is +ve you can mount it on another hole, but be careful to keep the small cable also mounted to the +ve plate or the welder will stop functioning.

Hi Jon,
Glad you managed to find the problem. It had me stumped for a bit too.
I bought the parts off eBay, I already had the crimping tool. You can get the lugs from toolstation very good price. Car battery cable can be the right size if you are getting desperate, but I would go bigger if I...
Hi, I have the same welder. Has given me fantastic service, until recently. I had exactly the same problem. Got out the multi meter, even though there was voltage at the torch, there was no current to weld. I was convinced it was the rectifier, I was 2 seconds away from "Buy It Now" on my fav...
