Auto Body Shop Donates Pro Spot Welder To Northeast Community College

Northeast Community College’s automotive program in Norfolk, Nebraska, recently added a Pro Spot welder to its classroom as a donation from local auto body shop, B Street Collision Center. 

Northeast Community College’s automotive program in Norfolk, Nebraska, recently added a Pro Spot welder to its classroom as a donation from local auto body shop, B Street Collision Center.

Zach Wiese, owner and operator of the shop, spent the entire day teaching the students how to use the welder and gave each one the opportunity to test it out on one of their current projects.

The welder will allow Northeast instructors to train students on all type of steel, including boron and AHSS, with minimal heat effect in meeting OEM specifications.

“B Street feels it is important that future technicians coming out of trade schools are prepared and trained on the latest technology to ensure a smooth transition from education into their careers as collision repair professionals,” said Aaron Reeker, damage assessment manager at B Street Collision Center. “We are fortunate enough to be able to help with that.”
