What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

I have had a syncrowave 200 for many years and strpped up to an inverter.... First thing is to get it off the bench! This is stuff i had laying around the yard and shop.

Nice project you have going there Weldor. Hope you have a cherry picker to pull that beast off the bench. At ~240 pounds I can see why you want it off the bench!
Go break something, then you can weld it back the right way.

I am using the foot pedal... The one that comes with the HTP is similar if not a rebadged SSC Controls pedal. I used the SSC pedal on my syncrowave but sold it with the machine. Really good quality pedal. Not using a hand control at all.

Alexa,
I use a thumb-control on a synchrowave at work when the foot pedal is impractical. Mine is from Profax, an MFTC-14, for the 14-pin connector on the machine. I think the Profax part # is PX129-341.
It's quite reliable, but has a long travel like a volume-knob on a radio, so I tend to set my max Amps far higher than I need, so my intended range is within the first 1/3 of the dial.
CK Industries make one that has a "slide" action that I haven't tried, but I believe the slide action will feel more natural than working a small dial with your thumb.
