Hi Shop talkers,
I will soon be getting a Lincoln Square Wave 175 Pro TIG welder. I'm a
novice to TIG welding and therefore have a few questions:
* The welder comes with a Lincoln "Magnum PTA-9 Pro-Torch (air cooled). Here
are my questions:
* Does the "-9" indicate a size
* Are the sizes standard between manufacturers. (are there standards for
TIG torches)?
* If yes to the above, can I use any manufacturer's parts (collets, chucks,
cups/gas lenses, etc), that are designed for a "9" torch?
* Are torch connections standardized? That is, could I connect another
manufacturer's torch to the Lincoln box?
* Can anyone recommend an online source for Lincoln (or compatible) TIG
torch parts
* Can anyone recommend an online source for high-quality filler rod (Welco
W-1200, 4043, E-7018)
Thanks in advance for any help,
Warren Chamberlain
