Oxide,
Yes. I have a dealer that has sold a whole fleet of the for use. Shield Arc himself has run tig with his and posted his results here, I believe. If not, I am sure he will, if you ask nicely. Really all you need is a 17V torch with a Dinse connector.
Thanks for the quick reply!! At my school exclusively use power adapters on our Maxstars (works great!). Ill be sure to ask SheldArc about it.
Hi Oxide00! I gave my PowerArc 200 a go with a little Stainless, I hadn't welded in Stainless in at least 25-years. These PowerArcs have a very nice arc for SMAW, and GTAW as well.
im in the process just got a torch and bottle today so im getting there
Can I get the part numbers for the tig torch setup you are using.Quote:

but please post the correct part number. it's almost time to get my baby back out of the box :)
Guys, there are several ways to make this up. Go to your local welding supply store and depending upon the store, they may just be laying in bins or on shelves. Nothing special about this config that Carl is posting. The fittings are common, and you can use a Dinse connector as well. The most common torch is likely a 17V torch (V for Valve). But any gas valve torch will work. If you want a flex head, then you'll need a FV torch. (Flex/Valve)
the 17v is air cooled right ? i still have my gas (the welding shop had a special buy 2 bottles of gas and only pay for 1 and 1/2) reason i asked is there's a few sitting around at the welding shop at school that were just replaced with new ones. if i can use them or get all of them i'd rather save some cash and maybe if somebody here needs one and their in a pinch. i'd pay it forward
