Is it me or do some give a sharp intake of breath when you mention scratch start tig as tho it's the devil's workYou need a valved torch as that unit doesn't have a gas outtake for the tig so you run your gas line straight to the reg. no switch required either as it's lift arc. So a round handled wp17 valved torch should fit the bill
People are frightened of it.Thanks for that m8 that's what I thought with valve on the torch.

They think it's old fashioned and barely usable.
It's not it just devotes more skill with clean initiation and termination. Yes hf is nicer but I've done some lovely work with scratch start Tig.
