Whether you’re fabricating aluminum parts, working on stainless steel piping, or creating artistic metalwork, the MT200 AC/DC has the power and precision you need.
Introducing the Steady Grip Foot Pedal
Now included with the MT200 AC/DC, the Steady Grip Foot Pedal is designed to provide unparalleled control for welders in any position. The standout feature? A finger-tip amperage control housed within the foot pedal that can be attached to your torch for maximum flexibility in the field.
Why the Steady Grip Foot Pedal Is a Game-Changer
- Enhanced Versatility
- Under a Car: No room for a foot pedal? Switch to finger control and keep working.
- Pipe Welding: Stay in control during out-of-position welds.
- Workbench Projects: Use the foot pedal for steady control during longer, stationary welds.
- Seamless Transition Between Controls: The finger-tip control attaches easily to your TIG torch, giving you the ability to switch between foot and torch-mounted control as the project demands.
- Precise Amperage Adjustment: Fine-tuning amperage mid-weld is effortless, giving you greater control over heat input and preventing issues like burn-through or incomplete fusion.
Tips and Tricks for Using the MT200 AC/DC and Steady Grip Foot Pedal
To make the most of your new MT200 AC/DC package, consider these practical tips and tricks:
1. Optimize Settings for the Material
- Aluminum Welding: Use AC mode with adjustable frequency to focus the arc and reduce cleaning action for a smoother bead.
- Stainless Steel: Switch to DC mode and activate pulse for precise heat management, especially on thin materials.
2. Maximize the Steady Grip's Versatility
- Use the foot pedal in stationary setups where comfort and control are priorities, such as welding at a bench or fabricating large components.
- Attach the finger-tip control for tight spots or fieldwork where foot control isn’t practical.
3. Plan Ahead for Field Welding
- Pre-attach the finger control to your torch for quick transitions.
- Practice positioning to maintain consistent gas coverage and arc stability.
4. Fine-Tune Your Gas Flow
Combine the MT200 AC/DC’s advanced arc controls with the right gas flow (typically 15–20 CFH) to ensure a clean, contaminant-free weld.
