CK 130 Torch W/25' Superflex Lead on my PP256

Update... it's gonna be 1 or 2 more weeks on my switch parts. They just shipped today.

Will this torch work on the 200DX?

I missed your post somehow but yes the same setup will work on the 200dx.

[Jake98]

That's a nice setup, bet it feels good to use.

I'm waiting on some consumables, but I just got the same setup for my 200DX. It looks to be a huge improvement in the handling of the torch. Much easier to use in roll cage construction I hope.

You could make one in two weeks. (not to rub it in..)
I keep going back and forth on the 1 hose or 2 hose thing, one would have to be a lot nicer I'm thinking. Haven't had much time to use it tho, so I don't exactly need to rush the decision..

"1 hose or 2 hose thing" ?

[Jake98]

Yeah, you got the 1 hose with the adapter, the one that came with my unit has two all the way to the torch, gas and power. I would think 1 must be slightly easier to maneuver. Arc-Zone is closed for a few days anyway.

I also have a wp-9f... the difference between it and the ck superflex lead is night and day for flexibility. There's a big difference in the torches also... the wp-9f is rated at 125amp DC @60% duty cycle/80amp AC @60% duty cycle. The CK 130 is rated at 130amp AC or DC @100% duty cycle and only costs a few dollars more.

I've added a small switch and lead cover to the CK130...
The switch is 1/2" square 5mm button, tactile momentary - costs about 15 cent and has the perfect click feel for me. http://www.sourcingmap.com/5mm-push-...-p-168159.html
The wire is two conductor 22ga with round insulation, costs 25 cent per foot.... purchased locally.
The cover is very tough but soft, 1/2" high density nylon weave and cost 80 cent per foot http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=26738
The torch handle can rotate to clock the switch to any position. Flexability was not affected, it's still as limp as cooked spaghetti.

Does the torch come with the red cable cover

Does the torch come with the red cable cover

Yes, red is the standard lead color now.

I ordered my torch setup like you pictured. Did you order a new quick connect or cut the old one out of the original torch hose

Answer in post #1 and #7.

Zoama do you know the ID of the gas hose you trimmed down? I think I found the male plug I need but have to get the right barb end 4mm, 6mm or 9mm. I am thinking it should be the 6mm but wanted to check to see if you knew.

6mm will work but 5mm is the correct size for 3/16 hose... you'll need to put a little soapy water on the barb to push it in.
When ordering a CK safe-loc dinse add LG to end of the part number for plug and play with everlast.
Eample: CK-SL2-35-LG is the 150amp large dinse with an 18" gas hose and male QC for everlast machines. Tell your vendor to order it from CK, they definitely have it.

Zoama thanks again. I hope arc-zone can order that part for me as locally the prices are too high. If not I think I found the male fitting just have to measure the on on my torch to be sure.

The CK fitting has a collar that threads up over the barb to retain the hose.
When you place an order with arczone, they place the order with CK. arczone could have CK drop ship your order but they just won't do it (CK is willing, arczone is not).
Everlast sells CK now.
