I have for some time had an Oxford 200-1 after moving up from a Clarke mig welder.
Now, obviously the Oxford blows the Clarke out of the water in every way but one thing I do miss is the on trigger gas switch. I understand the Oxford is solenoid controlled back in the actual weldset but it was really useful being able to post flow gas after welding to cool the weld. I do a lot of car bodywork where the heat control is critical and being able to part hold the trigger and keep the gas running was very useful. Has anyone ever tried to achieve a two stage trigger on a euro connected torch? Is it even possible?
I've spoken to a couple of suppliers and it just doesn't seem an option but I can see a market for this if it can be achieved.
