Just got first TIG rig!

[Big Barn]

I have a foot pedal, water cooler, and torch. What is the water cooler supposed to do? My Grandpa and I need to stay away from auctions. Almost all of the equipment in both of our shops came from auctions.

Download the manual but in the meantime I snapped a photo of my connections. Should be similar to your machine but can't say for certain.

Feel like a road trip up north?
Miller Tig welder

That unit looks a little too hungry for my 30A breaker or 8,000W generator. I think it wants 60A. WeldingWeb has a thread on it too. I'd like an AC/DC TIG that is 120v/240v. Was looking at some Everlast, 185DV. I didn't see that it comes with a foot pedal and torch. Would my Miller torch & pedal attach to it?

I have a similar stick welder. I don't know the exact breaker size, but it is pretty hungry. Mine is 3 phase. If you are buying any piece of industrial equipment you need to check if it is 3 phase because most are. View attachment 444668 View attachment 444668

I don't know, you'd have to ask Mark. I'm sure Mark will make you a great deal on a Tig welder. Shipping isn't bad, they ship out of San Francisco!

I dont think they would fit Sodo, The torch maybe, But it comes with a 17 air cooled torch, but the foot pedal is optional. It is something you are definitely going to want. But as said, ask Mark, he will know. He will also make you a better deal if you tell him you are a TBN member.

Heres my footpedal and torch connections.

If I could find a TIG that used these it could save a few bucks. What do you call the TIG feature that doesn't have to scratch start?

High frequency start

You can get a Miller adapter 14 pin to 6 pin (like yours) but I don't think the other way around to fit more common Millers.

Probably no easy inexpensive way to use yours for other brands.

There is also lift arc start.

Sodo, by looking at the Everlast 185 manual, the Pins are different on the pedal. Yours is 6 pin and the Everlast is 7 pin. Also the Everlast torch has a separate gas connection, and power connection. Is your miller just one connection for both power and gas?
