I purchased a QC Inverter Welding Machine. manufactured I think by Quality Control Australia, some years ago.
Unfortunately the manual was very limited and did not include any info on the torch.
I am now in need of various tips etc for the torch but am unable to purchase them as I don't know details.
Can anyone help me?
The model of machine is CUT50.

Welcome, Vileng. I googled but didn't find any welding company names similar to "Quality Control". With a name like "CUT 50" is your machine a plasma cutter or a welder?

Aw yes,
A CUT50...


Lots of tips on Ebay from China.

Have a look thru them and find the best deal.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

I would really hope it's not got a PT31 style torch on 50 amps but some nasty importers did do this to cut cost - even 40amps fries the life out of them - it should be obvious from the pictures in the previous link from John - but the most likely torches are PT31 or SG55 / AG60 - if it has the small torch & you use the machine much over 30 maybe 35 amps I would strongly suggest buying a complete torch from " Shop River " - it is much better suited to the power - will give more consistent cuts - cut thicker material & give better consumable life - when buying consumables for the SG55 just be aware the electrodes are all the same but the nozzle can be ordered in 3 orifice sizes - usually for 50 amp machines it will be 1mm you want - if your able to add a picture we can give you a positive ID on the torch as a few have been used including a Chinese knock off Trafimet style.
