Torch questions

[DJLVA]

I'm about to buy a powertig 255ext, I currently own a miller sychrowave and several torches, the favorite being a ck-20 series flex head water cooled torch. I know the everlast system uses a different dinse than miller, but can I swap torch heads?, I really hate to buy more torches to fit my fabrication shop needs
Thanks

Just swap the dinse, it's simple.

Awesome, thanks wasn't sure of the line compatibility
I usually buy torches and parts from arc-zone, would I just ask for a 35 series dinse (water cooled)?

I used to deal with arc-zone but I found him to be quite dishonest. Everlast sells CK and knows what their machines require. I'd give Mark (Performance) a call at 877-755-9353 x204. He should be able to get you going. Post pics and let us know how it goes.

Ok, thanks, I didn't know everlast sold the pieces-parts. I'm calling
Monday to order a powertig 255ext and want to have everything I need to get going. Glad to hear I can do one-stop shopping. Was hopeing it was possible to swap out the dinse that comes with the machine for my torch and setup. Fits me like a glove and does what I need, but don't mind getting additional parts for the sake of simplicity
Thanks again

Yeah,

If I'm not mistaken, you don't need to buy anything extra. You can just put your flex-head CK 20 torch on the same hose/cable/Dinse for a 20 Series assembly that comes with the 255EXT:

Standard Equipment:
12.5 ft Everlast 20 Series TIG torch with 35 DINSE style connectors and torch switch for 2T/4T operation
12.5 ft Everlast 9 Series TIG torch with 35 DINSE style connectors and torch switch for 2T/4T operation

Thanks for the reply

I believe the torch head connectors are different on the oem torch. Mark will know.

Actually, I wish I did 100%. The issue is that we have been transforming some of our torches and I don't have daily contact with them to be able to speak intelligently about it. You could talk with Andrew at ext 206.

Mark, I bought the 255ext from you yesterday, you answered all of my questions and explained everything very well. I'll wait until it gets here, I think I have enough to get me started.
Thanks again, and appreciate your offer for help with the setup and use.

You're welcome. Call me if you have any questions. And if I didn't remind you, download the manual from the website before you get the unit so you can hit the ground running.

So, received the welder...really nice torch setups, cables are like the CK superflex, no need to change that. I am setting up/changing over my 20P pencil torch that I occasionally need, with new superflex cables and new dinse about $150. But again the welder is impressive and just getting used to all the additional features not on my synchrowave, it's fairly intuitive. The manual is awesome, whoever wrote it knew their stuff and how to describe functions in a easy-to-understand fashion. Just a quick butt weld of 1/8 aluminum first go, came out textbook. Needless to say, happy with the purchase, thanks!
