2T and 4T (210 EXT) do I have to have a torch with switch or can I also use foot peda

[GaveUpOnTV]

I want to do some pipe welding, but it is difficult (if somebody has some ides, let me know!) to get under them while also using the foot pedal. I know (if and when) I do tig welding for pipe I will use a manual gas switch and 4T switch on a air cooled torch, but I'd like to use the foot pedal to do 4T welding now. Is this possible? When I try to click the 4T position, it won't 'go' there, apparently it 'knows' I have the pedal set up. Any help?
TIA

Couldn't I just buy a switch to put on my existing water cooled torch? I don't think I need the adjust ability wheel (as opposed to on/off switch) since I can can program the 210EXT to ramp up, and ramp down.

No,
There is no way to do it. Doesn't make sense to either. What is wrong with the torch switch?

Yes, there is a velcro or tie wrap switch to put on your own torch. Everlast has them or you can make your own. It replaces the pedal, so you use one or the other. I can't find a link to any on the Everlast site, so you would need to call them. But they come on a few Everlast products, so I'm sure you can order what you need with the cable length you need. Here is the basic switch, if you have the cable and plug already. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006Z96HW0

Thanks for the info, I wouldn't like it if I bought something that I didn't need. Now I can justify getting a switch, and soon a gas cooled torch for my tig machine.

You did not get a switch with your torches?

I got one, but I sent it back because I traded the air cooled torch for a water cooled one (and some money). I called up sales and they are going to GIVE me one.
That's great!
It's always nice to expand capabilities and not have to spend money!
