This comes with the water cooled torched, can I use the water cooled torch without a water cooler or do i need to buy an air cooled torch?

Buy an HTP Tig. US based repair service. A little more money but worth the extra $$ .Better Quality.

You'd need to buy an air torch. Check out Mr, TIG and Welding Tips and Tricks on YouTube for good info and suggestions.

You don't need the cooler, Just have to weld shorter duration's. If doing long duration's, Then wise to have. Torch will get hot.

A water cooled torch won't last long without a cooler. As an alternative, you can run a lost water system (in the warmer months) using a garden hose and a few simple fittings.

You can use the water cooled torch without the chiller(cooler), but things will get hot for medium/long runs and will take the life out of the torch

I would say no. Your problem will be that the flame is a very precise, laser beam like flame. Extremely hot, and only being able to cover a very small area at a time.As well, this particular torch has not proven itself to be very reliable. My final assessment is to not purchase this torch.

sorry mate, i work here in Dubai, i don't expect a warranty since i purchased it in Amazon US. for the price of 28usd, not bad for an underwater torch. i purchased 4 of these because it was obvious that some may be faulty since it is made in china.

Other torches can be used with the PowerTig. You need to get the correct connector which is available from a number of vendors. Finding the correct gas connector is slightly harder. Other option for the gas is to get a torch that has the valve on the torch head. This will permit you to turn on and off the shielding gas.

You can heat water in the warmer without a pan. So you can use it like a sous vide. But if you cook anything directly in the warmer it would be too difficult to clean

Gotta love it when there's a string of replies from folks telling you they don't know the answer to your question, right? I do know what you're referring to, and as long as your butane torch maintains a normal iron shape to the block it should fit fine. I'm assuming you're not letting the torch stay on while you're storing it in the caddy, and most butane torches are quick on/off these days. Just turn it off and stick it in. When it's not running your butane torch is just like any other iron.

Yes it can- it has standard din port which allows the use of any standard commercial torch. However due to only 185 max amp output and low percent on time it would be an excess expense that is not really needed. Water cooling does not flow through the machine- only the torch.

You will need an oxy-acetylene tank set to attach to this torch. Here's an example:http://www.amazon.com/Xtremepowerus-Professional-Acetylene-Welding-Cutting/dp/B00C1RXSQS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid;=1420230483&sr;=8-4&keywords;=oxy-acetylene+tanks

There's a gasket between the pieces at the bottom. You can melt it if you crank the thing up really high without anything in it. Forgot mine while preheating it and the gasket was smoking. Never had a problem when there was stuff in it though. Also ... too hot for too long and the handle can get really hot.

Sorry but I don't use a factory water cooler. Most welding is thins gauge steel with my old air cooled Tig torch. My water cooler is home built.

I like the 20-lb tank (typical grill size). It is a lot to lug around, but you can go through it fast. There is a version of the torch with a backpack tank holder, which would be convenient, but I'm too cheap to spring for that.

Hope this helps; Yes you have to by butane cans separately in order to keep the torch going. When you refill the torch with the butane there is a fuel gauge showing how much is left or how much more it can hold. I personally use 5x refined.

The torch works well, so does a small plumbing torch. Keep it moving and keep the flame away from the surface. Not recommended for amateurs. You can also blow on the surface. It's NOT the heat that releases the bubbles, it's the Carbon Dioxide.

I haven't used mine yet but if'n it's NOT for my torch, I'm in big trouble. I bought it along with the torch head from the same outfit so I 'xpect it works great. I DO know that that one I use for my camp stove is entirely different from this one. I'd suggest going to the Iwatani website or call them with the name of the torch head and get exact details. Cheers!

Yes, it has an air cooled TIG torch. It is capable of doing some really nice work and I am very happy with mine. If you get one, My suggestion is to take it to someone who knows what they are doing and get them to give you a little instruction. When I got mine, I wasn't as impressed until I saw the welding that my friend could do with my LTPAC2500, and I love the plasma cutter.

Yes it comes with TIG torch, plasma torch, and ARC handle/line. You will need consumables, there is only enough with the machine to get you started. Im not sure what plasma torch they will send you. A friend of mine bought the same machine months later and recieved an updated and more durable plasma torch...likely thats what youd get...its not the one you see in the picture...but it is better

The one I bought did. Here are some things you should know about this torch.... If I let the flame go out, I cannot re-start it immediately. I have to wait till the nozzle cools off - very annoying. I hate tall propane bottles. They tip over too easily. I thought the holster would also stabilize the bottle when I wanted to set it on the floor or a table. But the holster is all fabric except for a small metal loop at the bottom. Not enough surface area stabilize a tall propane bottle. And the hose is too short to reach from a bottle on the floor to pipes running at eye level. The short squat Coleman bottles are a little more stable, but for some reason, I had problems running the torch with them. It sputtered and blew out again and again. I discussed this with Worthington tech support (the company who bought out Berzomatic). They don't recommend the fat bottles. Never fully explained why they don't work. The holster has a tube that is supposed to be used to stow the torch, after use. But I don't want to put a hot torch nozzle into this tube, because there is fabric at the bottom of the tube. Potential fire hazzard? The manual says nothing about it. But I refuse to take that risk. Who wants a propane cylinder wrapped in a flaming holster clipped to their belt? So when you finish using the torch, what do you do with the hot nozzle?
