Tack Welders

Tack welders use a very high energy, low voltage current to lightly weld - tack - two pieces of metal together. This is not a permanent weld. A tack weld holds two pieces together so they can be soldered. If the pieces are tacked in the wrong position, the tack can be easily broken and redone. Most work can be held by hand when tacking, so getting the pieces of metal aligned correctly is easy.

Tack welders save you time and increase the accuracy of joining two parts which would otherwise be held together with binding wire and soldered.

Tacking machines can also fusion weld with "fusion type findings" and a fusion offset pencil option. Fusion welds will permanently weld earring posts, tie tacks, lapel pins, joints and catches, and any findings available with a fusion nib.

Three Tack Welding Machines are available

The Tack I and Tack II have similar purposes but operation with different powers. The Tack III has a higher power than the Tack I and II. The Tack III will do the tack welding and fusion welding jobs of the Tack I and Tack II and it will finish weld one-piece links used in multipiece cast bracelets and necklaces, jump rings and weld cast bails. Joints are instantly closed by placing the weld pencil tip on the joint and stepping on the foot pedal. The Tack III brings the material up to its melting point and fuses the joint together. The benefits are in time and material costs and safety: you eliminate the need to solder, the cost of solder and flux, you no longer have to pickle or bomb to remove the fire scale and stain created with a soldering torch.
