Welding Tips and Tricks

Came off a speedway sw-320 torch that I bought. Looks to be in great shape. I personally have not used it since I needed the Lincoln adapter. 25 plus shipping and PayPal fees

I didn't realize that either Miller or Lincoln used dinse connectors. When did they start?

Miller uses at least 3 different sizes of dinse that I know of.

What would you call it? I believe that everyone calls it a dinse plug.

According to cyber weld it's a dinse plug. http://store.cyberweld.com/tigtopoadsod1.html

The old boss had several blue and rex machines. All connections were either screw in or hard wired (I think). His machines definitely didn't connect like mine does.

My Lincoln Precision Tig had it and that was a 2005 model so they have used it for awhile.

Rambo, they switched to DINSE connectors on the Syncrowave when they updated the chassis AFTER they gave the old chassis the digital V/A meter. I can take a pic of what I'm talking about tomorrow if I remember correctly.

The old boss had a Lincoln square wave tig machine. I remember that it had the number 275 on it and it was a 325 amp machine. He told me that they only made that particular machine for about a year and a half because it had some kind of problem. He also had an older Miller tig from the early 80's but he only ever used it if the Lincoln went down. I'm guessing that was because it was a sine wave machine. It didn't have a water cooler so he had to hook it to the water tap.
If I remember correctly then the electrical connection for the torch on the lincoln was almost as big as a hockey puck and didn't stand five inches off the machine like mine does. I don't remember what it looked like on the miller because I never saw it get used while I was working there, only a couple of times when I went back for a visit.

Old to new, top to bottom. When they switched from the middle chassis to the chassis in the bottom of the picture is when they made the switch to DINSE as far as I know.

Sam, we have one just like the bottom picture at work, and two slightly older ones where the water cooler is integrated into the chassis, rather than "slide-out", that also use the Dinse connection.

I far prefer the slide-out cooler, since I recently had to replace a cooler fan in one of the integrated units, and it's a PITA compared to sliding the whole thing out and setting it on the bench.
