I have got myself a 3 in 1 nverter.

The Tig and plasma cutter use the same inlet point on the back of the machine for argon and compressed air. I didnt think it a good idea to be paying for Argon gas then pass it through a water trap and regulator so have split it of with quick release fittings.

Can anyone see a problem with that and how have others conected yours up ?

Cheers

can't see there would be a problem with that, but why would passing argon through a water trap and regulator be a problem?

Hi Wasa

I think your line of thought is spot on.
Plasma or Tig arcs and water vapour are best kept apart.

You may wish to do a leak test on the q/r fittings.
Doesn't matter with air but you wouldn't want to lose any of that lovely argon.

Plasma & Tig inverters tend to get quite warm in use so I always advise that after cutting or welding
they should be left switched on for a while so the fan cools them down.

Love the welder stand. Does this mean you can only have three guests to Sunday lunch now?

During a slack spell at work I made a trolley for our Lincoln plasma. (see pic)
They are quite heavy bits of kit to carry around.

I bought the "plasma only" rehmann thing, 40 cutting amps.

Its cheap and chinese and prob won't last long BUT it was £190 including delivery etc, comes with a good few consumables and makes a tidy cut in 1/2" steel!
