Why is the Miller machine torch so expensive? Is it possible to get a cheaper torch and fit the Miller end to it so it fits my machine or would I be making a mistake?
Cheers.
Race.
Why is the Miller machine torch so expensive? Because it's a MILLER !!!
Is it possible to get a cheaper torch? Get in contact with Jim Colt "jimcolt" here on the Zone. He works for Hypertherm. & can tell you if their torch can be made to direct fit a Miller machine.
Is your Miller machine a HF (High Frequency) start? If so Check with the fine folks at DT & be sure their servo powered table will work ok with your Miller plasma.
If it works.....Don't fix it!
