Any interest in a tig unit with ac capability (want to weld aluminum 1/4" thick?) for a group buy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Danscobra6 could you include a photo of the torch that you like and have had better luck with . I got my hands on a pt-31 Esab torch for less then $10 . I hate the present torch and was planing to wire it in when I have a free moment. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk, hobbiest ,Hobart 140 mig...

Sean thanks got it and got to wire it and fire it up , ordered a leather wrap and will let every one know what I think of it. Here is a photo of the plug end and model # I use on all my 220 volt welding equipment. I all so replaced the grounding clamp with the harbor freight 400 amp clamp , I...

Plasma cutters have a duty cycle Disney I think you definitely exceeded the expected run time . I do not believe you damaged unit but I suspect you may have used up one of the consumables in the torch head. I would recommend you open up the torch and check your consumables,suspect the electrode...

Sean it's funny you should bring up the torch head I was looking on eBay and there seems to be a bunch of compatible torches that can had . The reason I was looking was I am not crazy about the tie warped trigger . I have found over the last ten years or so that I have dropped the torch head...

In regards to protecting the torch lead I have been using a leather wrap ( sold on eBay and welding stores) . The leather wrap has been on my thermal dynamics unit for 7+ years has held up to all the abuse I can throw at it . I had a nylon cover it lasted about two weeks . On the issue of the...

Donthelegend the photo will not blow up enough for me tell you what is going wrong. When cutting plate thicker then 1/4" it is all about your technique. Using a guide bar will help keep you straight. It looks like you had no stand off on the bottom side of your cut the plasma/ dross needs some...

Quick note from using my thermal dynamics cutter for the last 10+ years . Take your grinder and clean the spot where the grounding clamps is this will improve most cutting operation especially on rusty or painted metal. I will have to check but I think I was running my torch at around 75 psi if...

Post photos of the pallets at your house that had to be a hoot unloading with your wife saying " what have you gotten yourself into this time ! " Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking of doing this with my spare water cooled tig torch but are you electrifying your water line ...this would make all the water on this circuit hot ? I think I may just build my own water cooler from a cheap HF pump and small aluminum radiator any thoughts group? Sent from my...

Which water cooler unit did you connect as it is not clear from the photo( I can see the lead running out but no box visible) ? Thanks for the info AndyM Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That works for me , I have found that if you are not careful you can melt the gas lead hose even when not being any where near the duty cycle . On my water cooled torch this usually doesn't happen . So if I understand where we are we think some time in May or June we should have the specs on the...
