    Default 17 size TIG Torch

    Anyone have a flex head 17 size Binzel/Abicor//CK style torch (don’t want a Euro style) with a min 5m long lead (prefer 8m, but 5 will work) that you don’t have a need for anymore?
    I don’t need consumables just the torch
    I have a shorter 3m BOC one that can be traded as a negotiated change out if that helps, otherwise I’ll just sell it once I have a longer one.

    Probably better off going to somewhere like WESS and get them make you up a kit, wont be real cheap but cheaper than ordering one from the states like I did... could have brought another cheaper TIG machine for the price landed here
    Mines a 8m CK230 (a WP20 style), the supplied set up for my machine I couldn't easily use the euro style handle(WP26) with its fat hoses and ridiculously heavy rubber sheath at that point in time due to tennis elbow.
    But Im glad I made the investment the original set up still got hot to handle even at 150a, now I can leave it pegged flat knackers(210a on 6mm Al) barely gets warm!(230a is its continuous rating I think)

    BOC do a CK in 17size with 8m lead and the correct size electrical connector for my machine for just over $200, likely what I’ll end up buying when I have spare time to actually go there (I haven’t even finished the demolition of our ensuite and the scope creep is already starting….)

    My 26 size is the same type of flex head from CK. I bought it new off eBay, seller didn’t know what it was, cost me more in freight from Sydney than it did for the brand new torch and lead set.

    $200 is pretty cheap mine was over 4 times that
    I sprung extra for the 3 super flex hoses and a few consumables.
