There ya go!

Don't bother with the water cooler and water cooled torch etc --- you don't weld with that many amps or for that long... trust me! LOL

You want to get fancy -- get the new WIFI foot controller.... I love not having the one more cord on the floor..... and being able to just kick the controller where I need it. Remember - we're not production welders -- we're moving around - doing different materials - different gauges etc... so portability is important.

I have a couple different torch sizes -- and love my #2 CK Trimline with the ultra flexible hose...

Also -- you'll like the welding better if you get set up with GAS LENS... AND make sure you buy a top quality helmet with some low lens settings.... TIG uses some pretty low amps on thin stuff so you'll be down at a 7 or 8 setting. If you can't see the puddle you can't weld...
