I am helping.out my friend hook up his lincon buzz box to do scratch tig. I have a extra manual valve #26 torch I was using to practice walking the.cup. What kind of hose do I use to cennect to the argon and how do i connect the ground clamp to the torch.

Reply:You need a torch with an on/off gas valve. The torch gas hose will have a stud connection to connect a pig tail lead to go to your welding power supply.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720
Reply:You need either a one peice power cable which carries the flow of argon through it, or a two piece which has the power cable and a seperate hose for the argon.  both of them mate to your tig head and to your power block and gas supply.  here is a good thread by Tozzihttp://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...atch+tig+setup
Reply:I put a picture with the water cooled one (size 18) on the left and the air cooled (size 17) one on the right.  Note the power blocks are different.  Just clamp the electrode holder onto the block, or braze on something your electrode holder can grab onto, or bolt to the hole.  There also are devices to hang the torch on which shut off both gas and water.
