Cool, I haven't gotten to tig yet with my 256 because I don't have a water cooler. Tomorrow I should get my new CK air cooled torch and be ready to light up. I opted to get their gas saver front end for it with the pyrex cover just because being able to see more will probably help me learn to tig faster. If all the hype is true, I'll get improved shielding and be able to turn the flow down a little.

You can just hook up the torch to a garden hose with some extra rubber hose, a few hose clamps, and a place to let the water drain. It doesn't take much.Originally Posted by hobbymachnst

I thought I might be able to do that, in fact I considered hooking up my flood coolant pump to the thing just to have some fun, but plasma cutting and stick welding kept me busy until today... I lit up the tig today. I didn't have time to do much but destroy a little piece of aluminum, but it was fun.

I just use the hose for water cooling. I don't weld enough to justify a water cooler. It's also nice cause as a beginner welder I tend to need to sharpen the tungsten a lot due to contamination and it's instantly cool.
