Dialarc 250P TIG?

admin

Howdy all! I've had my Miller Dialarc 250P ac/dc machine now for two years and I love it! I welded damn near anything I can get my hands on from affixing a set of forks inside a JD 410 loader bucket to fabbing up a Jeep Wrangler frame. Needless to say I'm pretty comfortable with it, or at least with the things I've had to do. I'd like to try my hand at TIG. I'd like to at least have the option of using it. In my searching both here and across the net I've found a couple posts mentioning what it would take to outfit my non-HF model with an air cooled torch and what not and for the life of me I can't find it again.  . But anyway. I emailed a rep at Miller and he set me straight. This is the list of the parts he said I'd need:RFC-23A  040071 Remote Foot Control041111 RF-10WP17V12RM TIG Torch195378 AdaptorMy question after looking up the prices on things,  mainly the foot control... is there a cheaper alternative? Off brand? Used? I'm not planning on using TIG all that much and it's hard for me to justify paying almost $400 for a pedal/control. I've found that Weldcraft makes these for Miller- is there by chance a like model just not branded "Miller"?Please help set me straight here!  This is all new to me!Thanks!Scuffy

Reply:Keep an eye on ebay I have seen them come up from time to time. They have 2 cords on them one for the contactor switch and one for the rheostat. I just passed one up at an estate sale a week ago too. -DanOwnerDW Metalworks LLCMiller Trailblazer 302Miller 8RC FeederMiller Passport PlusMiller Dynasty 200 DX W/Coolmate 1Hobart Handler 135Hypertherm PowerMAX 30Smith O/A Torch SetPlus much much more
