admin

Alright I took some ideas from stuff I have seen here and put it to use.First is the peg hook torch/cable holder.Second is the start to a third hand I need to cut down the big bar stock.
Reply:Ok I haven't tig welded in a couple years so go easy on the criticism. I think I am going to slow and the tungsten could have been stuck out a little more to to get into the joint.
Reply:I can't tell for sure, but that looks like the Lincoln SW175. If so, they are a nice machine. My torch hose is black. Is that the factory torch on yours, or aftermarket ?

Reply:Originally Posted by EndofabYes sir that is a lincoln SW175. The hose is aftermarket it's one of those super flex rubber ones. It is very flexible like a wet noodle. Also have a water cooler with it that I am currently waiting for a replacement torch for.

Reply:Originally Posted by EndofabI bought the welder used so I don't know much about the power cable on that 9 series torch, I am pretty sure it is similar to the super flex that is offered for just about every torch out there.http://www.arc-zone.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=666
