NEW GUY, tig cooler ?'s

admin

I am a new guy to the forum and new to tig welding, trying to learn tig welding is hard when my hand is burning after 5 minutes. Will a water cooled torch help this problem? I have a lincoln 225 precision tig, I have found a good deal for a miller coolmate 1 cooler (alot cheaper than the lincoln model) will these two units function together?Thanks!

Reply:What part of the torch were you holding? What do you do about your weldments just after you weld them?
