hand amptrol

admin

Hi all - great forum!  I bought a Lincoln Precision 185 Tig last year and am just getting around to fiddling with it.  Doing pretty well, but seems like I might like a hand amptrol.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  Are there aftermarket hand amptrols.  Has anyone used the Lincoln K963 and how do you like it?  Thanks!

Reply:There has got to be a way to make one.  180 to 200 bucks for a little slider is a bit rediculous.  Whats your welder got, a 6 pin connector?Various GrindersVictor Journeyman torch200cf Acet. 250cf oxygenLincoln 175 plus/alpha2 gunLincoln v205t tigLincoln 350mpEsab 650 plasmaWhen you can get up in the morning, Its a good day.Live each day like its your last.
Reply:Yes, the 185 has a six pin connector.  I was thinking I could probably come up with something that would work.  They do seem excessively expensive for what is probably just some sort of rheostat.  Any suggestions?
