Tig welding tips, questions, equipment, applications, instructions, techniques, tig welding machines, troubleshooting tig welding process
I just bought a trailblazer 302 and a suitcase v12, I am wanting to do some tig welding now but dont know anything about fig what attachments would I need. For the trailblazer and how do I set it up! Any help would be awesome!
Do you want to set up for AC tig or just DC tig. I have had the 302 for over a year now and is the best machine I own

Thanks Jim, I have never done any tig Welding its just something im wanting to learn since I have the machine! Whatever is the easiest to start out on and the most versital! Like I said im starting from scratch when it comes to fig!
It is the easiest and by far the cheapest to set up for DC tig. Do you have a torch yet? Depending on the amperage range you will be operating at will determine which torch you will get and also most of the accessories. For the 302 you have three different models - 9 (125amps) , 17 (150amps) , 26 (200 amps) , you will need to get a torch body with a gas valve also. Your are also gonna want a one-piece power cable, a power cable adapter. If you want to control your current remotely, you will also need either a foot pedal or a fingertip contactor.
