I recently purchased a Hobart 30 amp spot welder (2.5 KVA, plugs into a
30 amp 220V circuit, air cooled) on sears.com for $329. They have a mail in rebate on the shipping. It comes with a 30 day warranty, that may actually be a 90 day warranty if they don't consider this a home electronics item. There is an import clone available from Harbor Freight for about $160 (and I know how many of you feel about them); I am hoping there is a better quality transformer in the Hobart unit. I will try to use this on 12 to 24 gauge stainless steel, and will tell you what I think if you are interested.- posted
