I'm having difficulty finding consumables for this torch. In particular the drag and gouging tips.

Who makes this torch?
Do they have a US distributor?
Is it made by Temco, or are they just...

Mark,

I have not received anything yet.

Thanks,

Andy

Christian,

Ah, that would explain it. Thanks.

Andy

The 330 is there under the "Manuals" page: https://www.everlastgenerators.com/sites/everlastgenerators/files/downloads/677387c87105c191a8525be923e86409.pdf

From the Everlast videos it seems pretty...

Christian,

I'm hoping that it is just a bad link on the web page. It looks like there is a file there for it. They do have one for the 330. I would imagine that much of the information is...

I received my shiny new welder today. Before I purchased it I emailed sales to get a copy of the manual on September 3rd. No reply. I took a chance and ordered anyway. I expected it to come with a...

Thanks Mark and everyone else the pointed me in the right direction. I've ordered the clamps and crimper from Amazon. I tried the local autoparts store, but they had nothing. Grainger and Fastinal...

I tried pushing it back on. No luck. I also tried making 4 ties with small gauge piano wire. That leaks as well. I can't get it tight enough. The tie-wire would probably work better, I just don't...

My torch is leaking because the clamp came off. It looks like it was never on there very well. When I removed the handle the clamp was just barely on the end of the hose. Where can I find new clamps...

Mark,

I looked for the torch manual under http://www.everlastgenerators.com/product-manuals but didn't see anything there. I tried under http://www.everlastgenerators.com/catalog/tig-torches as...

Mark,

Sorry, I don't remember who I spoke to. It was late 2011. I called up and ordered the welder over the phone. At any rate, I'll only run it with water from now on.

Thanks,

Andy

Rambozo,

I will always run with the cooler from now on. The WP18 torch would get a little warm, but never to much to hold. That may not mean anything though. I didn't notice any leaks. Now its...

Glad I saw this thread. I just made that mistake. Unfortunately I didn't see it before I cut off the quick-connect for the argon. Oh well. A note in the box saying which is which and to blow-check...

My welds are back to normal, yeah!. I'm still not certain on the exact cause, though I strongly suspect bad argon. I still had about 400psi on the gauge, but decided it was worth 'wasting' a bit of...

Rambozo,

I tried covering the end of torch, but I can't keep a good seal. The end of the torch blows up like a balloon and I loose the seal. I tried turning the flow way down, to 1L/min. It does...

Johnson697,

I may have to cut back further. I was really surprised how deep I had to go to eliminated visible pinholes. They seem to be the cancer of metal.

Thanks, Andy

Cadguy,

I ground all sides a few inches back from the edges. Its possible I didn't grind deep enough. When I was doing some practice pieces today, I used a 36 grit flap disk. That did a much...

Rambozo,

Arrgg, stupid forum ate my previous reply. :( Anyway, I checked the argon hose up to the welder. No leaks. Any leak would have to be between the gas solenoid and the front connector....

Rambozo,

Thanks for your tips. I will check hoses etc.

Heat could be an issue, though I've seen the porosity on a cold (70F) piece as well.

I wish I had the facility to video it. I'm seeing...

Gezzer,

I did take it down to 5, but I'll try going lower.

Thanks,

Andy

Mike,

I lower it to 130 amps, and varied the argon from 5 10 15 L/min. I just tried laying beads and bright shinny metal. About half the time I can lay a bead without porosity. This is without...

Mark,

I was going by the 1 Amp per thousandths rule of thumb. Bad rule? Between you Arctime, I'm convinced I'm way high on the amperage. Thanks.

Andy

Arctime,

I tried turning up the argon yesterday, but that didn't seem to help. I'm inside, with no breeze. Maybe I'll hold my breath just to be sure:) The filler wire looked clean, with bright...

Hello,

I have a PP256 that I'm having porosity problems with. I'm welding 1/2" plate to 1/4" 3x3 angle iron. One weld will go fine, then the next is a mess. I ground down to bare metal and cleaned...

I tried it in both 2T and 4T. No luck. I bumped the air pressure to 70+lbs at the welder, and 90 at the compressor. The compressor has a 15 gallon tank, and is rated at 4.9cfm at 40 psi, 4.5 at 90.
