Welding Tips and Tricks

The guy at HTP told me they can make a 25ft of this torch for $179. does anybody know if there's a better price around?
I would like to put it on a Syncrowave 250DX for light amperage stuff... so the 200DX plug in, like in the link.

Thought you wanted a 17 torch

You know what the shipping cost would be to AK?
From outfits like these, arczone and cyberweld, they aren't very reasonable..,
I'll look into it. hate their pictures, and they don't say what welders they hook up to.

Most likely you will need an adapter to hook that torch up. Are you wanting it for a Synchro or Dynasty?

Well Nick, looks like I'm gonna be getting a Syncrowake 250DX and it comes with a watercooled 20.
I was wanting to get a wp9 for lighter amp stuff.
Sorry about all the mix-ups, I've been looking at a bunch of welders, and Idea's lately.

Syncrowave torches and Dynasty torches, will interchange with each other.

this is the torch hook-up I need.
Look at the second picture in the link.

Here's what I did. I got the 2 piece cable and a Lenco LDP-50M plug ($12). I had to swap out the gas fitting on the torch but you won't need to do that withthe millers. Or you could just get the HTP torch. I have no idea what shipping is like for AK I can tell you what it's like for shipping APO to Germany which probably won't help.

OK - at risk of sounding dumb as I don't have a Miller to look at - you appear to just have the larger dinse connector ( 1/2" diameter AKA 35/70 ) - so why not just buy the common dinse to 3/8" BSP adapter & nearly any torch with integrated gas / power hose will screw on - they all fit each other - even the "Shop River" ones that are stated in metric still fit !

I love HTP....
They have great stuff and decent prices.
Free shipping to AK....
I think for all the messing around, HTP wins

Sorry, shouldn't of told you my secret weapon, now you'll all be bidding the stuff I want!!!

~John

Yeah i know. Things are a little different over here. Ps its only about 12 foot hahaha.

"Man, It must be bad"
WoW, do you use US dollars???

~John

Aussie dollars, plus it was when the dollar was high so even better value.....

How do "Aussie" dollars compare to "US" dollars?

As of today one US dollar is equal to 1.12 AUD.

Hey,

I bought mine directly from Everlast, The stock one they supply. I wanted to support them as they are just starting out here, and they gave me a good deal on the welder in the first place, 100 bucks off plus free shipping. Its all good.

Mick

Yep, support the people you want around.
But, get the best deal you can.

~John

Hey,

Yep. Anything i buy now isthe best deal, because its only for home use so no need for top shelf gear.
