Reply:That thread is possibly THE most useful thread here. I even refer to it in other forums.
Reply:Looking for a 17 series torch such as a WP-17V.  One member has PM's me that he may have a torch set somewhere.I will be working with 1/4" and thinner mild steel and some sheet stainless less than 1/8" thick.  So whatever Tungstens will work with those metals and gages is what I would need.  I think the 17 series torches use up to 1/8" diameter rods.I found a great LWS and found that an argon bottle is actually very affordable, purchasing or leasing for a year, so I am good on the gas.

Reply:Hey man... I just had my torch and flow meter, and I took them into my local airgas today, and the guy behind the counter was really nice, and set me up with everything I needed. It was awesome, he asked me what id be welding, how many amps is my machine capable of, etc, and I left with a few tungstens, a couple pounds of filler rod, the hose with all the fittings that I needed, 2 tanks of argon, a small assortment of cups, a handful of collets and collet bodies, etc.And once you really know what you need, Ebay has a very nice assortment of stuff, at great prices. A box of 10 tungstens there, costs what 2 did today from airgas. Happy Welding!! [Account Abandoned 8/8/16 Please Do Not Attempt Contact Or Expect A Reply]. See you on YouTube! -ChuckE2009
