Synchro 250 torch attachment

admin

Can someone post a pic of proper torch attachment for a synchro 250?The person I bought it from had a wp 9/17 adapter bolted directly to the output lug.  The problem is that there's no way to rotate it so it will not be in proximity to some grounded area on the machine.  It arcs to the machine at HF start, and I'm not sure if it is during welding and causing arc problems.  I'm having an extremely tough time posting pics from a iPad on this forum.  I think it's the op system of the pad.  Thanks
Reply:A lot of people will attach a stick welding stinger to the output lug and then clamp the stinger to the torch adapter. You can then lay it on the floor, or insulate it.

Reply:Drf255,You said in an earlier thread that yours was purchased new by the original owner in the early 90s right?So, that makes it similar in style to mine which only has the threaded stud terminals on the front. Ok, I'll go out to the barn and grab a quick photo of my arrangement. I assume you want to be able to run stick and TIG without too much trouble so what I have might work for you too.Here it is, a little dusty under there. Well, what can I say? Its a working shop  I have not had any HF arcing issues with this setup. What is your HF Intensity control set at? The manual suggests only adjusting it as high as you need for reliable establishment of the arc. If yours is WFO then that may be part of the problem. Does your power/water block look similar to mine?EricEdit: Wait, you're running an air cooled torch. Never mind. Doh!
