New 200DX specs?

[Rambozo]

I just want the smallest torch I can find, lol

[ncsugrad2006]

ok maybe not THAT small

More like the "normal" small torch. i.e. wp20 or so

I've got one of those....with a long long flex neck. Used it once...

When I finally can get my 200DX, I will want the torch with an amperage control. That's one of the features of the new version of the 200DX I really like, since I have trouble using a foot pedal.

The torch amperage control is not a feature of teh new model. It is just a different torch that can be purchased. It is (or at least was) available for the older model as well.

The rheostat on the torch is an optional torch amperage control.

Upslope is used when welding with the torch trigger to control how gradual or harsh the currentrises to the max setpoint after initiation. Downslope is tapering off after release. Both could also be used with the footpedal if desired. Some welders refer to a similar feature to downslope as crater fill. It tepers off slowly preventing the center of the puddle from shrinking adn causing craters.

OK I think I get it ... but I will only know for sure when I start using it ... may be I'm just dense but that's just me ... I'll get it figured out ... Thanks U R great and I appreciated your help!!!

years ago when I worked at a hospital in San Jose in the closed community mental section there was one "Dr" who used that a lot on his patients ... they may have had things a little more together when they left but pretty sure their IQ's were substantially diminished.

Hmm...wonder if that is what my mother in law had done???
