Homemade Welder Help plz
i am atempting to build a home made welder from microwave transformers and was wondering 1 if there are markings on the transformers that would tell me how many windings there are in the primary and secondary. second if the secondary could be re wound using stranded wire instead of single conductor wire. and could i make my own transformer using a solid steel core like a u bold or steel ring instead of the lamanated trasformers in a microwave with acceptable results and how many windings would i need ie 100 on the primary to 20 on the secondary.
