FAQ

A tip dresser is used to reshape the copper electrodes of a spot welder, removing deformation (mushrooming) and oxidation to ensure a focused current and strong weld.

Tips should be dressed whenever the contact face becomes visibly flattened or mushroomed, or if you notice a decrease in weld quality or consistency.

While a file can remove material, it is difficult to maintain a perfectly flat and parallel surface. A tip dresser ensures the correct geometry and alignment for optimal welding.

Yes, this ratchet-style dresser is designed to be clamped between the closed electrodes, cutting both the upper and lower tips simultaneously for perfect alignment.

On most ratchet-style dressers, the internal cutter blade can be replaced when it becomes dull, although specific replacement availability depends on the model.

It is designed for standard resistance spot welders used in autobody and fabrication. It fits most standard electrode sizes but may not fit specialized or miniature tips.

As tips widen, the welding current is spread over a larger area, reducing heat generation. Dressing restores the small contact area needed to generate enough heat for a proper nugget.
