Stud Gun Setup Guide for CD Studs using a "b" collet and "b" stop

Follow these step-by-step instructions to properly set up your stud gun to weld CD studs.

This setup works for Truweld, Proweld, Midwest Fasteners, StudPro, Erico, H.A. Jones, and SWS stud welder guns.

Required Parts

1

STEP 1 - Cut the "B" stop to length

Cut the Universal "B" Stop to the length necessary based on the length of your stud.  For a 1/2" CD stud, cut the stop so that 1/4" of the stud is in the collet and 1/4" is protruding.  You want to get as much of the stud into the collet as possible but you need at least 1/8" sticking out.

STEP 2 - Insert Collet into the Gun
