The guy at HTP told me they can make a 25ft of this torch for $179. does anybody know if there's a better price around?
I would like to put it on a Syncrowave 250DX for light amperage stuff... so the 200DX plug in, like in the link.

You know what the shipping cost would be to AK?
From outfits like these, arczone and cyberweld, they aren't very reasonable..,
I'll look into it. hate their pictures, and they don't say what welders they hook up to. :roll:

Most likely you will need an adapter to hook that torch up. Are you wanting it for a Synchro or Dynasty?

Well Nick, looks like I'm gonna be getting a Syncrowake 250DX and it comes with a watercooled 20.
I was wanting to get a wp9 for lighter amp stuff.
Sorry about all the mix-ups, I've been looking at a bunch of welders, and Idea's lately.

Here's what I did. I got the 2 piece cable and a Lenco LDP-50M plug ($12). I had to swap out the gas fitting on the torch but you won't need to do that withthe millers. Or you could just get the HTP torch. I have no idea what shipping is like for AK I can tell you what it's like for shipping APO to Germany which probably won't help.

OK - at risk of sounding dumb as I don't have a Miller to look at - you appear to just have the larger dinse connector ( 1/2" diameter AKA 35/70 ) - so why not just buy the common dinse to 3/8" BSP adapter & nearly any torch with integrated gas / power hose will screw on - they all fit each other - even the "Shop River" ones that are stated in metric still fit !

Hey,

I bought mine directly from Everlast, The stock one they supply. I wanted to support them as they are just starting out here, and they gave me a good deal on the welder in the first place, 100 bucks off plus free shipping. Its all good.

Yep, support the people you want around.
But, get the best deal you can.
