Tig Rod Feeder
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I made this Tig Rod Feeder to serve as a prosthesis for a welder, who can no longer manipulate a filler rod into the puddle, due to a stroke that he had a few years ago. Hopefully, after a bit of practice, it will allow him to return to using his tig machine.
thank you sir for using you time and effort and skill to advance another human to benefit himself true loving kindness nothing better
Great invention: Top Notch!
You need to have that manufactured. :-)
That is brilliant. What a good thing you have done.
Thanks for the good words.
Hi good idea what kind of motor did you use again where can i buy it i wanna build one for me thanks
I used an EXI - D121F servo, available at eBay, and many other sources. You must remove the tiny circuit board in the servo to reduce it to just the motor and gear drive.
You're a real one, bro!
Yup. Patent it right now man. Before some big company steals your idea and calls it there own.
Great job! I love to fabricate things and I have to say that we do NOT think alike. Your approach to the problem (on many levels) is soo different than what I would have done. You've earned another subscriber.
I would buy one. looks much better than anything else out there
Nice a 3d printer stepper motor that feeds the filament would work good also.
Damn ok brother hopefully that can withstand the heat
Who could not like this?
Man I think thats fantastic. Quick patent it before I do, LOL
I heard about this project on weddingweb website, what a great thing you have done for that man, it sound like he appreciates it immensely,the design itself is simple and functional, hat's off to your ingenuity and also to your kind heart.
Thank you.
What is the post name on welding web? I couldn't find it.
So cool though...great job
This is perfect for person with severe carpal tunnel .
Hii is possible to get one for me? Did you already build few?
I have made a few, but have not applied for a patent, yet.
best good deed ever!
HA COOL! Nice invention!
Where can I buy q
If you are going to produce these, I would love to purchase one. Awesome idea!
I have re-designed my feeder, and am gathering parts for assembly to market it. If you are still interested, please post a method to contact you. Thanks!
@@Patriottoo2 I will keep an eye on your channel and any updates. I will also press your bell. Thank you for the response.
@@Patriottoo2 do you have the redesigned plans or have it available to purchase? bwatkins8071@gmail.com. Thank you
@@brianwatkins8071 Thanks for your interest. I've been trying to work out a problem that showed up in my second iteration before selling them. Hopefully, I will be able to solve it, soon.
I would also like to get one from you when ready. I will subscribe to your channel for updates.
What is the status concerning building/selling the feeder? It's been a while since you made the video, so any info appreciated.
Thanks for your interest. Life got in the way of seeking a patent for my device. I would still like to get some protection to slow the Chinese from ripping off my design.
@@Patriottoo2 If you're interested in selling one to an Italian from NY, lol, let me know.
Don't know if you'll see this, but I was wondering if you wanted help. I have multiple college degrees including a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and an associates in drafting and design. Currently at RSI for my master welding cert. I specialize in tig and high frequency. Good design for the feeder, but some revisions would definitely do it justice. Please message me if you're interested. I already have a few products that I sell.
Thanks for the message and offer, Charles. My design for the feeder in the video was a "one off" for the guy in need. I have since redesigned it, and plan to offer some for sale when I find time to file for a provisional patent. I'm curious, as to what products you sell.
I was just trying to design the same thing. My left arm is paralyzed. Can you send me information on how to buy one?
So, your arm is paralyzed... do fingers still work?
I do have some use of my thumb and two fingers. What is a link to your post at weldweb?
@@bartscave I can't find the Weldingweb link. I have redesigned and reduced the size of the size of my feeder, so it, totally, fits inside the palm of one's hand. Since you have use of fingers, it will, probably, work for you. Just push on a momentary switch to initiate feeding of the rod.
Great!!
3D print something to hide everything, great idea though
Are you still going to make these? if so would like to get one for my uncle.
please let me know how can get more info. thank you
Yes, I do plan to make and sell the feeder, but have been sidelined by another project needing my full attention. I can get you more info, if you will post your email address. Thanks for your interest.
good day patriot, how could I buy this device or how could I make it in my country I congratulate you great invention. From Colombia southamerica. Luis Carlos
Sorry, Luis, I just noticed your post, today (1-31-19), or I would have replied, sooner. I have designed a smaller feeder, and will be happy to send you one, if you are still interested. Thanks for the good words.
@@Patriottoo2 price?
@@justinvandervelde1 I have not set a price, yet.
Can you post or how much would it cost to make one for myself?
Sorry, nelson, I didn't keep track of material cost. I set out on the project never expecting to be reimbursed for anything.
I wanted to buy couples how much u wanted for it...
I have reduced the size of my feeder to fit in a pocket, but have not set a price, yet. To give me an idea... what would you be willing to pay for it? Thanks for your interest.
@@Patriottoo2
$20..includes shipping..i see manual feeder sale EBAY for around $13-15 depending who you buy from...let's me know once you're finished building it...
Are these still available
I have redesigned the feeder, and am in the process of assembling my first batch for sale. Please let me know, if you are interested in purchasing.
Yes I would be interested. I am having trouble feeding the wire by hand. Any idea of roughly what the cost would be. Regards Steve Edwards.
@@Steviegtr52 I have decided to set the price at $89, including postage inside the U.S. If you are just starting with tig, the feeder should help learning, because you can concentrated on what the puddle is doing, rather than manipulating the filler. The motor in the feeder draws very little current, so by the time you need to refresh batteries you should be accomplished with torch control. If you're still interested, just send me a private message with your email address, and we can work out an exchange. Thanks!
@@Steviegtr52 My new feeder is pocket-sized, and is easily held in the hand. If you will post your email address, I will provide more info. Thanks.
@@Patriottoo2 Hi thanks. steviegtr52@yahoo.co.uk

I'm glad that my speech impediment, due to a brain injury suffered as a child, brings you amusement.
