Torch help for Clarke at133

[Paul Hewer]

Hi all. I'm new to Tig welding. Though I have mig welded and stick welded for years. My wife bought me a Clarke at133 arc welder which can be used for Tig if you buy the optional torch kit. I haven't yet bought the kit and was wondering if I have to buy the one from Clarke or if I can use any other torch? Its just a scratch start machine nothing fancy but I thought it might be a bit of fun to keep me occupied and learn a new skill.
So back to the question are the torches welder specific? The Clarke one is 50 quid and I have seen some others that look similar for a lot less than that. The one I was looking at was a Wp17v.

Hi you'll need a valved TIG torch with a dinze connector that's the same size as your welder has. You'll also need a regulator for the gas bottle your going to use, like this set up from the forum sponsor Weldequip:
