real solid american made industrial unit, similar to this one

http://www.lencoautomotive.com/resistance-spot-welders.html

does single and double side welding, has timer. outside is a bit rough, but has a massive transformer inside

dog bone simple - no electronics, just works

note - works from standard 240V DOES NOT NEED 3 phase

looking for $500

So this would do reliable spot welding from one side, like on a Z suspension tower where it can be impossible to place a second electrode at the back? If so, how does it do that. How old is yours, how much use has it had and why are you selling it. Pics?

What type of power plug does it have? I notice it draws 50 amps at 240v ?

That's a significant load.

Not wrong there Mick , you would need a specific individual circuit as most GPO's usually only have a 20Amp fuse . Plus I think the standard 2.5 ml wire would struggle to handle that load.

50 amps?!!! Talking with an electrician the other day about power points in my shed, max 15 amps, much more than that will activate the circuit breaker.

G'day Jason , don't know if you have a sub board in your shed!, but if you do you can up grade your GPO'S up to 30Amps with " RCB" circuit brakers installed .

50 amps is much more than a typical domestic residence would be expected to be able to supply to one piece of machinery. These days houses only are allowed a 40amp allowance by powercore to their property depending on when it was built. And if the residence had a higher supply current then the cable supplying the shed would have to be at least 10mm.

Actually 6mm is satisfactory , good for up to 75 Amps. That's what we used for temp supplies to households when I was a Linesman for the  SCC.
