It is an improved alternative device for welding, comprised of a stainless steel attachment for a cordless motorized driver, with optional extended accessory for greater adjustability. The driver includes a grooved rubber roller, whose rotation feeds a rod in a forward or backward motion, controlled by pressing the corresponding starter buttons for the driver's motor. The attachment is composed of a support ring bracket, connecting a fixed track, and adjustable track. The latter can be adjusted as desired, with the former used as support for stabilizing the rod as it is fed. The driver is designed to comfortably fit an adult hand, and power the feeding process by rotating the driver shaft, on which the rubber roller is fixed. It is an improvement for its ease of use, eliminating the restricted entry in the field, by allowing beginners to safely and efficiently weld.
A battery operated handheld motorized TIG rod feeder comprising in combination:
The aforementioned method of TIG welding, wherein the use of a stainless steel attachment is implemented to hold a rod in place, as it is being fed by a cordless motorized driver through grooves that are designed to stabilize the rod and to control the direction of its feeding
A handheld, cordless, and motorized driver with an attached rubber roller with forward/backward feeding capability
An extended track accessory, which allows for more adjustability and stability in the process
