Does anybody here know of someone that can mirco weld a couple of small dings in the metal?

I saw a miniature tig welder in Ebay so I know they exist.

They are very small(about 1.5mm) but stoneing them out is not a option.

Thanks

I don't think you need a "micro" welder for that. For instance, I can attach a spot of weld to the head of a pin with my 210 amp machine. All you need is a small enough tungsten, .0625 or less, ground to a very fine point, on a low enough setting to make the pit, or, ding, liquid. And, an appropriately sized filler rod.

I have a welder who does stuff for me that I will shy away from for one reason or another. The guy is a genius when it comes to welding. I had a Sako bolt, 223 size bolt face that had some gas cutting from primer leaks. He welded that up for me and it took very little work to clean it up.

Email me for contact info.

I know a guy like that. He is an artist with a TIG torch. He once welded experimental heart valves for Dr Denton Cooley, built his own two man submarine and welded the frame for his own Scorpion helicopter.
Poor old me walked into his shop and asked him if he could weld a gun part. He said "What do you mean can I weld that?". I never asked that dumb question again.
