What do I need to TIG?

admin

Guys I have a neighbor that needs some tig welding done, he knows how to do it from the plant he work at, but dosnt have the means to do it at home. Hes offered to buy the set up if it will work off my welder. I have an older ranger 8 can I use this machine to tig with? TIALearning one rod at a time
Reply:Found this online not sure if it is the one for your particular welder http://www.joeswelding.biz/info/LincolnRanger8.pdfbut it says you can tig with a ranger 8. looks to be for a newer one you may want to use your serial # and check for a owners manual.Will   Supports Autism Awareness                            My ToysBobCat 225 PLusMillermatic 130Miller Spectrum 300 CutmateEverlast Power Tig 185 Micro April is Autism Month .
Reply:Yes you can. Take a look at Tozzi's thread. he pretty much covers what you will need to make this work for basic scratch start tig.http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=38106Looks like from the link Steelwill provided that there is a tig module that will give you HF start that you can get for the model Ranger he linked. Looks like there is also a kit that will let you run a remote with the Ranger for tig. ( K892-1) for the remote connector kit, and ( K857 or K857-1 for the actual 6 pin remote. Looks like you may also need the KK936-3 remote cable kit to connect the remote connector kit to the K 930-2 Tig module. I'd check with Lincoln to make sure there aren't more parts to this that I might have missed quickly scanning the PDF.Looks like it depends how far you want to get involved in this..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.
