so my father in law was showing me how he used to set up his tig welding tip to argon gas and to a regular arc welder. the only thing he
didnt have was the foot pedal but he said it still works. and he made a regulator to see the flow of argon coming out.

anyone done this or know anything about it.
he gave me the tip with cable. i was thinking about doing it too. haha.

 

sure itll work, but there is converter boxes that give you a foot pedal and all sortsa fun ----. google for homemade tig

 

nice thanks

 

not having the HF start is going to suck but it should work fine.

dude thats exactly what he had. sick thanks.

when we left my father in laws house i left the torch there and drove all the way to san diego without it.
oh well. ill be back in 2 weeks. he had the same looking homemade regulator.

 

how do you turn on and off the gas flow as you start and stop welding?

 

boost solenoid

 

yeah good question. i know theres an adjustment on the torch
