Re: How hot does your tig torch get?

Being that my shop has been pretty much Lincoln, other than my Miller MIG, all my coolers are Lincoln and all have worked perfectly. That being said, they’re stupid expensive and looking to explore other options. Been looking to the Tweco as it seems from what I can see they seem to be pretty simila...

Re: How hot does your tig torch get?

Looking at this thread brought up a question I have. Been running Lincoln gear for a long time and I haven’t had a need or a desire to stray away from equipment that has served me well. That being said, I am purchasing an MT200 and wanted to add a water cooler. What brands do you all like and why? T...

Re: Inverter Machines

Inverter Machines

This topic has probably been beaten to death but, I am going to throw it out there. After many moons of using the transformer machines, both red and blue, I am finding that I need to modernize things a bit. So, without a debate on someone favorite color brand, I am looking for advice on an inverter ...

TIG machine for aerospace welding

I am on the hunt for my next tig welder. My current Lincoln Precision Tig 225 has been very good and has been very solid and reliable for a long time. However, it’s showing it’s age and I know I’ll need to invest in another tig welder in the very near future. The problem I am running into is 1- the ...
