Harbor Freight has some stuff made in India, and other places, I think there was a can crusher they use to carry that was made in the USA.

The welding supply store was a different place. They had some sylvania tungsten that was displaying the american flag.

Funny thing was I had the Tig, and Plasma torch with me, and he was convinced the Tig torch was one he sold.

He asked me where I got the mini quick connect fittings from, and thats when I made it clear this was on a Chinese made machine.

Which BTW, where can I get the quick connects like that? It'd be nice if the barb fitting in the back of the multi machines was just a female threaded end, or a coupler like the one in the front.

I'll either run 2 ball valves, or some quick connects, as I think switching out the clamps is a pain.

Parker. I believe its a 1/8 euro connector that they sell.
You should be able to order it from them. I don't have the part number but I think it should come up.

The closest thing I see is a "high flow" but MacMaster Carr only goes down to 1/4".

I'm thinking some ball valves, and a 90* turn on the machines barb fitting in the rear will be best.

The cart I am thinking about building will be based off a old 2 wheel hand truck for a torch set up. The machine(and cooler in the future) will mount on the back, but sideways. This will allow for the machine to have the rear, and sides open, and not blocked by the argon tank.

Thank you for your help.

It's true, there are a lot of things made in China these days. It's all about buying from a distributor that cares about quality and taking care of the customer.

Hey Titan, are these products available thru the California store or is this stuff for our friends North of the Border only?

The tungsten is not. But all the others should be.
