Johannes,

What you need is an old (non-working) microwave oven, and about 6 feet (2 meters) of very heavy copper electric cable.? Remove the power transformer from the microwave and discard the rest of it.? All you need is the transformer.? There are several articles on ?¡°youTube¡± about how to make a very nice and simple low-cost spot welder from these basic materials.? As spot welders go it is a lightweight version but should work perfectly for your purposes. ?Happy welding.

A spot welder would work, I think¡­I am assuming the 2mm here is diameter and not length :-)

Make your own??or buy one, Harbor Freight sells their 240 V one for $160¡­

My quest is not direct to a 7x12, however, it is close to EDM??

For next Christmas I have to connect many 2 mm iron strings together, in all directions.

I can made 1 mm holes and screw or nail them together, I have done it on my protos.

Soldering is also an alternative, however, not my favorite.

The wires are in tension, so when I start soldering the second spot, the first (#¡è%¡è#)

?

So I am asking for advice to shop a small ¡°welder¡± for 2 mm iron wire. Only 500 ¡°welding¡± connections.
