    Awesome video and much more in depth and informative than other videos that are basically fronious commercials. Thank you for the video.

    TTX in Atlanta uses these accupockets on Csx equipment where I work. They have a few of them mounted on golf carts for the quick weld repairs on trains. That’s how I come across fronius welders. They wouldn’t let me play with it though

    Hi so I have the same exact model Fronius. I need a tig torch can you help steer me in the right direction for the best torch to use? Also do I have to use the Fronius brand one or can I go with another branded torch?

    • @chris_b_liven
      @chris_b_liven  Před rokem +1

      Does your machine have a gas port on the back ? If not, you can use any 25 mm dinze TIG torch with a gas valve. You will run the gas line to the bottle

      If you had a stick/tig version you can use a standard 25mm tig rig with an external gas line. The tig version has a gas solenoid and it comes with Fronius style consumables
