TIG torch consumables recommendations

Does anyone know or have a link that gives general combination's of collet body/gas lens and cup size by a given tungsten diameter and/or amperage?
Trying to get an order together to cover the WP9 and WP26 torches.
Thanks in advance!

Rengaw,
The manual has a little bit of that in there in regard to amps and tungsten size. However, cup size is related to application, more than amperage.

Hello,

Ive been using weldcraft rare earth tungsten. Ive mostly worked on stainless with it. They have been working fine for me. Problem is I am not an expert and not absolutley sure everything that is suppose to be ideal. It doesnt seam to bead up on me or anything. The tip does round out a bit after some good current through it. Anybody who knows what they are doing used these?
