Hi

Where can I buy those large white tig cups from CNI? I mean those which Jody use in some videos. I want one! 8-)
Of course it would be very ideal, if those could be bought straight from Welding tips and tricks store :roll: ;)

You will note that the Weldtec champagne cups is 1.25" across, but it does so by a substantial flare out from a smaller size. The kit costs $42.xx for each size tungsten you want to use.

You can buy #12 cups (.75") and #15 cups (15/16") for about $3 each from almost any Airgas or similar LWS, and the necessary stubby lens and collet for about $15.xx, so the Weldtec unit costs 2-3 times the comparable alternative from Weldcraft...

Unless you think the extra 1/4" of flare is essential, those champagne nozzles are way overpriced.
