admin

Hi people I have been lucky enough to come into possession of a Kemppi MINARCTIG 180 MLP I know almost nothing about welding but want to give it a go! do I need a special torch or will any TIG torch be fine??? any help would be much appreciated. Cheers guys
Reply:I’m no expert but it seems tig torches are grouped as to consumables, air/water cooled, and connector type.  From the pictures I found on google of that welder it looks like the connector is a Euro type connector.  You could use air cooled torch for hobby use but it will get hot after some use. Water cooled is better but cost more and you need a cooler for it.Torch consumables are grouped by torch type and manufacturing design (#17,18,& 26 )  and (9,20,& 25)are the 2 groupes.  Things to consider are feel in the hand size and if it has a built in switchHave funTom
