Inverter Fusion 130ma Tig

[Jaeger_S2k]

Hi,
This unit is supplied with MMA leads and the tig accessory pack is more than I paid for the welder.
Anyone give me a guide as to what torch will fit?
Not seen the manual yet it may well say?

Hi
Usually they are supplied with a WP17V as standard

Thanks jobert,
Why could I not find them before?
Is that the only one that would work, I've read about flexible head?

If it is a mma machine the torch will have to have a gas valve, as jobert has recommended, the"v" on the end of the torch number indicates it has a gas valve incorporated in the torch.(i think)

The actual torch will connect to the machine with a standard dinse plug.

I've tried a couple of flexible head torches (Parweld) but they both split at the bendy neck (without undue abuse, I might add). So although useful for getting the torch angle correct, they don't seem to last long. W/A

Thanks W/A
Will drop weldquip a line and find out what he's got.

Jaeger, do you have a supply of argon or will you use disposables?

 

[Jaeger_S2k]

Haven't got a supply yet, but it is possible.

Weldequip sorted me out with a WP17 with a gas valve for my 180MA.

Weldquip has sent me details for torch and regulator. Very well priced, for now sadly I'll have to wait for more pennies. I've also got lots to be getting on with.

I've received some arc rods with the IF they are Murex 6013 size is torn off the box.
It says +/- 70 - 100 A?
Can anyone give the characteristics?

With that amperage it should be a 2.5 mm electrode.
The web says:
Murex 6013 is a good quality economical, general purpose rutile welding electrode. Suitable for all welding positions uses include plate and pipe work and general fabrication. Deposits smooth weld beads with easily detachable slag. Minimum ocv recommended 50V

6013 electrodes weld easily, penetration is not very high (not like a 7018).
