I suggest the CK130 with a superfex cable in whatever length you need and a 35-70 dinse.
There is a huge difference between WP-9 copys and the ck130 even though they are the same size.
The wp-9 is rated @125 amp DC 60% duty cycle and only 80 amp AC @ 60% duty cycle.
The CK130 is rated @ 130 amp for both AC and DC @100% duty cycle. The superflex cable is light and as limp as a wet noodle.
I use mine to 150 amps @ 60% duty cycle > http://www.everlastgenerators.com/fo...ad-on-my-PP256
What was wrong with arc zone? Who could I buy it through?
Every time I buy from them I get a bunch of excuses about delays... turns out they're just ordering from ck when they get an order then shipping to the customer.Quote:

I'm not sure if they sell over the internet but here's their website http://www.mwsc.com/ CK says this company sells a high volume of their products.
If your 200dx uses the small dinse order part# SL2-25LG and it will come with a gas quick connect for everlast machines. Whoever you order from may say they don't recognize that part number but they can get it from CK.
Edit: Arc-zone may do better now, the owner Jim Watson sent me loads of emails after our ordeal (even after I asked him to stop) but I didn't read them, so don't let me stop you from giving them a chance.
Thanks. Did the torch come ready to go? Or do I have to buy special consumables for the "2" series torch?
I want a Pyrex cup and also the regular stuff with a #10 cup.
The same consumables for a wp-9 fit the 2 series torches, I use a small gas lens (generic) with ck wedge collets for everything. If you want ck wedge collets, get them when you buy the torch.Quote:

Does the torch already come with insulators?
I ordered mine yesterday!
Yes, it comes with the standard size.Quote:

Sure will, same as here> http://www.everlastgenerators.com/fo...ad-on-my-PP256Quote:

The 9 torch is GOOD quality. Might not be CK level yet, but it is decent enough to last, and weld with, provided you do not melt it down due to over heating it. Price is 129.00 plus shipping for a 15ft. 139.00 for 25 ft.
Thanks. I really don't have a problem with the one I have now. I just want to try different ones.
I am new to TIG. And it's been a while since I have really welded period. I love my machine and can't wait to really learn how to use it, how it's supposed to be.
I bought the ck210 Flex for my PP205. The stock torch that came with the Everlast just about gave me carpel tunnel syndrome:) All kidding aside, I opted for the ck210 flex because it is rated up to 200 amps air cooled. I also, bought the ck hose, pyrex cup, and wedge collet as well. What a world of difference this makes as well. Definitely worth the investment. I believe Everlast has comparable torches, but not up to 200 amps air cooled with flex head. I too bought from Arc Zone and knowing that they don't stock a lot of the CK stuff (they buy from CK and then send to you) I negotiated over the phone to have them call CK and just drop ship to me, which saved approximately 1 week coming from the West coast to NC. Good luck!!Quote:

Not sure if we have them still in 25', but we did.
But also consider the WP20 if you do need to water cool the torch. WP9 is nice, like Mark said, just stay under 125 amps and you will love it. Easy on the wrist.
I think they do. Arc-zone sent me shipping info. It will be here on the 30th.
Arc zone looks to see what people need and provide it. I like that about them. I hate their flooding on the search engines though. But they have all the hard to find parts.
I didn't have the best service with them but had to come back a second time due to some hard to find items. I like Weldfabulous. Better service, faster shipping, they use USPS to Canada and their prices are better but they need a better website.Quote:

Buggy Chief and 225 will you take some pics of the included torch (WP-26???) and your new ck210/ck130 side-by-side to show the size differences? I am interested in both torches and just want to see a visual comparison to the original torch since I can’t locate them locally.
I will Friday when I get off.
It's hard to put them close enough together to get a good comparison. The blue handle torch on the left is water cooled and came with my PP256.Quote:

I let them all hang freely about 15 inches from the the torch head to give an idea of the lead's flexibility. Same order as in the first pic.
The CK130 is my favorite, I use it up to 150amp @ 60% duty cycle. It's rated @130amp AC/DC @ 100% duty cycle.
Very kind of you to remind us that you put in your own switch on the CK130. Nice comparison and I can see why you say the lead is as limp as a wet noodle. Day and night ...Quote:

Agreed on the density of the 200 amp CK (Trimline 210) superflex lead. That is it's only downside, IMO. It's most noticeable if it's hanging straight down a long distance. I will just drape the lead over my shoulder or around my neck to take the weight off, if that's the case.
On the plus side, it seems virtually indestructable. I have yet to blow it up, and I've been pretty hard on it with my 200 amp, 60% duty cycle machine. I can't say the same for the old WP-17, whose cable suffered a melt down. I seriously wonder if it might even be OK to use it with substantially more than 200 amps.
My holding mine almost pencil will tell you how small it is. She is 5' 2". Very tiny hands.
zoama585, is your CK210 a Trim-Line?
I have seen jakeru's picture of his CK210 which also says "Trim-Line", but looking on the CK website, I can only find the 'standard' CK210.
In Trim-Line, they list the TL26 as the 200A torch.
After picking up a 9 series torch recently with a super / high flex cable, I don't think I ever want to go back to a 'standard' cable.
Zoama thanks for taking the time to put the pics together. I was at a LWS yesterday and they had the ck210 w/valve 1 piece and it really felt big but the superflex cable was really nice. They are getting pricing for me so I will see how it compares to prices online.
Based on the OD of the teflon insulator being flush with the torch head, and there being a "2 series consumables" paper in the box, I'd say it looks like you got the CK130.Quote:
