Tig torch...part II

[inkjunkie]

At some point I will be replacing the torch on my Syncrowave 180SD. More or less just hobby welding....once I get myself edjemakated on the tig machine again. After talking to a few folks have convinced myself a water cooled one is in order. I know of CK Worldwide

http://www.ckworldwide.com/

and the Miller/Weldcraft units....

What else is available? What is liked/hated and why? SO folks, educate me please...

I like CK, because of the availability in versatile products that they offer. They have got a torch for every single job imaginable.

I'd like to get a flex head for my unit. They really help you from having to find a better position to slightly change welding angle, which is great, because the tungsten should always be as close to 90° to the work.

Miller has a good selection as well. Be sure to pay attention to the connector type that your hose or machine has, if you're going all the way back that far. Miller is notorious for doing unconventional stuff with their connections. I'm not too familiar with their latest on torches and lines.
