Change Diversion 180 torch to a WP-9?

admin

Hi guys -Can I change my 17 torch for a 9 on my Diversion 180?  I am running better and  better welds, but the 17 handles amps that I can't even hit on 115v and thought it'd be interesting to  try with the smaller torch.Can the 9 swap on and, if so, what parts are needed?Miller Diversion 180Hobart Handler 140 (Soon to be replaced with Miller 211?)Miller Spectrum 625 Extreme

Reply:A 9 will use smaller/different accesories ( cups, gas lenses, collets ) than a 17.

Reply:Welds look good Jon.  It's funny how much harder it is to weld on a project than just laying beads on a plate.  Just cut to the chase and get your dynasty with a wp20 water cooled torch.  Just trying to save you some time.  It is clear to me that you are on your way there.TA Arcmaster 300CM3XMT 304S22P12 suitcase feederX-Treme 12VSOptima pulserTA161SMaxstar 150STLHypertherm PM45OP setupStihl 020AVP, 039, 066 Magnum

Reply:Jon,I just did this mod to my Diversion 180:http://www.offroadfabnet.com/forums/...ead.php?t=7051I love it. So much lighter and I like the 9 torch size for what I've been playing around with.-steve
