I have the above welder, and would like to try Tig welding, I would like to know what torch to buy, and whether I need a foot peddle.
It seems to me that tig torches vary in price from very cheap to really expensive,the Fabricator one is around 149 pounds! so I would like to buy on at around 30 to 40 euros, but which one why are there such price differences please.
Do I need a gas switch for the torch, (on the torch?) The welder has gas to the mig welding, but from there on ?
Again foot switches have huge prices, the Fabricator one is advertised at $214? as far as I can see is is only a 5K ohm variable resistor, or am I completely wrong?
I have done quite a bit of gas welding, acetylene is very difficult to get here now, also I have experience in mig and stick, so this at the moment is just to expand my hobby.
any advice would be most gratefully received please.
