thanks for the responce to both of you but neither one of you answered my question... let me re phraise my question....
does the TIG torch....leadin cable have a plug in so you can switch polarity
(like you mentioned Danno,) My TIG torch is missing that plug in ! no wonder it won't work !
.... so I will attempt to take the stinger of the stick welder portion and put it through the covering to the torch gun itself and see if I can hook it up...
it isn't a "TRIGGER" on the gun actually just a button that turns it on and makes the gas flow... just like a foot pettle but its a button on the TIG gun.
....
switch polarities ! negative to gun and positive to the work ! ok gotcha... when I can do that because as it came the gun cable had no plug in to any polarity....that is the problem... and I am so new at this TIG welding stuff I don't know what to look for !!!!
I mainly got it so I can silicon bronze BRAZE the gears on my Logan lathe
and TIG welding the Bronze on the gears looks to be the best way....
I made a Zuse Torch for propane that should reach that needed temperature
but I have sense thought better about heating the entire part to those high temperatures .( the part needs to be Pre-heated, but not all of it to cherry Red.... and I think that is exactly what the zuse torch would do it covers a wide area !)
..... So actually the question has been answered thanks.... I'll see what I can do.... if I can get it to work I'll let ya all know !
