Marleene!!

Thanks very much guys this has made things so much easier to understand.

I'm gonna see how I get on with the WP9 torch first off as I may not even need a bigger torch. But these things are always good to know.

Thanks again

Thanks very much your reply,

It's funny you should mention the Parweld torches as those were the ones I was looking at.

As stated in my previous post they don't say what switch connector comes with them (if any) so I take it I you have to buy your own for Parweld torches?

Hi Folks I've just bought a used 160amp Tig welder. The welder came with a WP9F torch which is rated to 125amp. I was thinking of getting a WP17 but the welder doesn't take a foot pedal, and the torch uses a 2 pin female socket for the hand switch. Q. Can I just buy any WP17 torch with a hand switch...

Just a bit of an introduction. I'm from the UK. I came into welding quite late early 30s :o and did an Introduction to welding college course that lasted for a month. I'm now a production MIG welder I've been doing this for about 2-3 years, and I do really enjoy it... It's varied and sometimes I can...
