Picked up a arc/tig invertor while I was away I think the earth lead from my MIG will fit but I do need a torch for it http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/range/guid/F10B2442-5334-4FC4-9745-373B46C9BA78?da=1&TC=SRC-tig Machine Mart do this but it's over 7 times the cost of the invertor any one got any better places to shop.

It's way more than the invertor which I paid £15 for think I'm going to make my own torch up by building the bits unless I get lucky, what size tungston do you use and what amp rating is yours all the welders at work are for much thicker stuff in normal use and water cooled torches as mine is for air cooled and portable 140 amp max.

Do you have a pic of the torch? including the conectors, also have you considered selling the torch I picked mine up as it's a portable unit as my mig is very bulky.
