Hi Folks,
The Murex manual lists a FC 5B foot controller for my tig welder.
But they are just too expensive
Has anyone tried the chinese foot controllers as on Aliexpress for around £40?
I have found the schematic for the FC-5B and connection / pin diagram
Looks very straight forward...3 wires for the potentiometer, 2 for the switch and an earth.
The 14 pin plug is easy to get.
If the chinese ones are absolute rubbish it looks much cheaper to get a US sourced foot pedal for about £100 ( but these may well be from china first!!!!)
All thoughts /comments welcome.
Mike
