Cheap jewelry welders for nib work

[The-Thinker]

Do you recommend cheap Amazon\Ali-express welders (~$100) for stacking fp nibs and retipping? I know the quality is not similar to that of argon gas high end welders, but will it get the job done with acceptable results, knowing it’s just to play with nibs and have some fun ?

I don't know what kind of welder you're looking at on Amazon, but if it's your typical stick or wire feed welder, then it's too big to do tiny work.

 

 

This is $995.  I would think you'd need something like this.

I was looking at something like the following:

There are two options 30A and 80A but same model

That looks similar to the thing I linked to.  Might work okay.  Good luck.
