TIG ceramic cups / torch size?
Hi;
I need some new TIG ceramic cups (4 and 5). Seems that they are specific to torch size.. So how do I find the torch size?
Thanks

Gday,Norm
Generally the torch size ( and type) is relative to the welding machine it was supplied with.
I will assume you have no documentation with your tig machine .
If it is a fairly well known brand it is sometimes possible to google an online manual, an instruction sheet or perhaps sales brochure to give a clue to what size torch comes with whatever brand & model machine.
Sometimes it is just as easy to google your tig machine and select images and scroll through those until you recognise your torch and click on the photo and then the info will come up.
Other than that,you will have to take a photo and attach it to a post or just plain take the photo to a weldin machine dealer- not a real lot of them in Mareeba ,I daresay- who can do the ID.
Cheers

Got it!!
Written right on the handle - WP-26. Must have handled the handle a 1000 times and never noticed it! Sometimes I have to ask the dumb questions to see a different perspective. Sorry, but thanks..

Oh No!!
Maker unknown, all I know is that it's a cheap Chinese something or other that I bought off eBay many years ago, when I thought I'd like to try TIG..
I've got a manual, and the label on the machine says TIG-200S but that about all I know.

Just Chinese made from Banggood. I know nothing about them but the price is right.
