Reply:a few minutes searching google will produce faster results than this.I like CK WORLDWIDE torches, especially their Gas Saver front ends although the glass cup have blown up on me at higher amps (350+)
Reply:thanks, I'll check em out
Reply:I also recommend CK. They have been one of the highest quality torches around for years. Another up and coming brand we've been selling the past few years is Master Weld, a good mix of low price and performance. Good luck http://www.youweld.com
Reply:I thought the diversion torches were specially designed for those machines with the remote built into the handle. I know weldcraft makes some like this but I did not know that the diversion torch was replacable with off the shelf parts. Did something change since these came out?
Reply:idk, im just looking for smaller, more versatile for tight areas. Im new @ this so all the help the better. as far as the handle control, it seems a little harder to control. prob more so 4 a newB like myself, but I ordered and use a foot pedel b/c the 165 doesnt come w/foot. thanks

Reply:I found this kit that says 28 configurations. weldcraft tig torch kit (AK-150MFC) does any1 know about this kit? if its compat to wp17 torch?
Reply:well from what i just read on millers site The package comes standard with the Weldcraft® LS17 TIG Torch. This 150 amp, air-cooled torch features the hand controlled amperage adjustment built into the handle of the torch. So whether your welding on your back or contorted inside a rollcage, you'll always have full control of your machine's output at your fingertips.and from your machines manual it appears the power cable in not on a dinse plug but they offer torch bodies Torch Bodies125 A, Air-Cooled Standard #9LGC125 A, Air-Cooled Pencil #9PLGC125 A, Air-Cooled Flex #9FXLGC150 A, Air-Cooled Flex #17FXLGCso with that i would guess you could use any weldcraft wp17(150amp)or wp9(125amp) torch body with your current power cable since its weldcraft and use your foot pedal since you wont have the button on the torch handle unless you got the torch body with the part numbers i posted aboveMiller Xmt 350Lincoln Ln-25Ahp 200xSmith Gas Mixer AR/HTig is my Kung FuThrowing down dimes and weaving aboutInstagram http://instagram.com/[email protected]
