Hello from England!
I’m considering purchasing a CK MT200 but I’m not seeing any upslope/downslope controls for using it with a switch.
Am l missing something?
General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.
Appears to me if you buy the entire kit, it comes with a footpedal. If you're wanting a finger switch, you'll just have to buy that separately.Firestom jetcar wrote:Hello from England!

It might not.
The amperage is controlled through the pedal, as Buggy points out.

FWIW, those are nice looking machines, a lot of people speak well of them. I have upslope and downslope on my Everlast, but don't use it as I use the pedal. In my manual it tells me that if you're using a pedal you should turn them down to the minimum or the pedal won't operate correctly. I think it's primarily for the switch. I mostly use the switch for quick tack blasting, so don't use it there either.
EDIT: Hah! I have it on my Primeweld also, never used it yet.

Much of my work is on the pedal.BugHunter wrote:Appears to me if you buy the entire kit, it comes with a footpedal. If you're wanting a finger switch, you'll just have to buy that separately.Firestom jetcar wrote:Hello from England!

I have no problem purchasing a switch but without the upslope/downslope controls it’s not for me.

You should contact CK Worldwide and ask them directly.Firestom jetcar wrote:Much of my work is on the pedal.

That's a bit odd. I've looked at that machine before, but never noticed the lack of 2T/4T and upslope/downslope functionality. It does have a switch to toggle between remote and panel, so presumably the machine is torch switch friendly. I imagine it has some 2T upslope/downslope parameters hard-set into it for when you have a switch, but you'd think the manual would mention what they are, but I couldn't find it in there.
Agree with TTW that best bet is to contact CK. They'll get it sorted and let you know exactly what you need to know.
