I tried to locate this item from lincoln, but had no luck. I made a copper tube with vees cut in each side and it worked half way decent, but would value others input. I plan to use it to weld in my replacement floorboards. Thanks in advance.

In my limited knowledge, I will say a true spot weld is a resistance weld...something that can't be duplicated with your wire feed unit.
What you can do is make plug welds that work great, and when ground down a tad could be passed off as a spot weld.
Maybe you are confusing the two processes. Won't all this be covered with paint, carpet and undercoat anyway?

This device needs to be powered by a stick welder, so you might be out of luck if you only have the MIG setup. If you try it, give us some feedback on how it performs! http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1227&itemType=PRODUCT Stuart | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 123 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 123 | Thanks everyone for the info..

Its looks like it uses a carbon arc rod..a gouging rod, so it doesn't have filler material to drip and run. I would say this is a all position device.
The carbon rod will heat the parent metal up and sort of melt/fuse the two pieces together. If it does work, I'll bet it's pretty nifty indeed.
Remember, gotta have a stick welder to use it!
