Welding Tips and Tricks

I think these gas lenses are Ck, I contacted HTP and they'll be getting back to me.
Do you know if CK wedge lock collets will fit these gas lenses???
Do you guys know of a good, fair priced, AK shipping, Ck torch part distributor can be found???

Any of you know if Ck makes a 9 air cooled 25ft flex lock that would hook up to a 200DX??

Man, I'm answering most of my own questions
But here's one more.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SR-17-WP-17-Tig ... 20b3b4e831
Does Ck have a torch head/body like the one in my link, only a flex-loc ???
I've still got my Everlast PowerArc 160 STH with a wp17 on it and the thumb on off switch, and I'd like to switch it out.
I'd like to know if Ck sells one, AK shipping????

ps. I'll keep looking though....

CK can adapt to anything with the right fitting. Check out the ArcZone on-line store they have every type of adapter. They were also helpful to me with adapters to fit my 200dx. I used a 17 air cooled with 1/2" dinse - they had the adapter. My dx came with a different gas fitting than expected, again they had the fitting.

I personnaly like Lenco adapters. They have a nice chart on their site that'll tell you exactly what adapter you need for your machine. Once you have the p/n you need, you can get it from arc-zone, weldfabulous or mississippi welders supply.

I do the same with all CK parts as well. Go to the CK site and look for the p/n you want. Once you have it, plug it into the search bar of one of those sites. Best way to make sure you're getting what you want as the descriptions often all look the same. And all #9 parts will works on a FL130 and #17 parts will work on a FL150.

And those ebay torches aren't CK.

Nick, I showed you that link so you could look at it....
I'm looking for a Ck 17 flex-loc that looks just like that, just the head, So I can put it on the torch I already have.

Well if yer callin me out, just say so. FLGB is the p/n for the body. Both the FL 130 and 150 use the same one. The 130 torch head is FL2L and the 150 is FL3L. I don't know if it'll fit what you have though. I can get some measurements if ya need em.

One more thing. The price of the body and head will get you close enough to just buy the complete assembly with whip.

I'm looking for a torch head that looks just like this, only Flex-Loc 17.

I gave you the p/n just enter FLGB and FL3L in the search bar. You have to get both with this torch.

And as was mentioned in another thread, Mississippi welder supply has better prices. I just placed my first ordrr with them. We'll see how it turns out,

boy, your right Nick!!!!

I recently bought a flex-loc and had some questions - one thing I can say is that CK has some excellent customer service and will answer emails very quickly with great information. Sure, their product catalogue is huge and confusing until you work it out, but if you ask them "this is my machine, this is the torch I want, what do I need?" they'll give you a full list with part numbers etc. I bought from weldfabulous because their prices were OK and they ship internationally (I'm even further than AK).
