    TIG question - Hobart Multi Handler 200

    Howdy! I just bought a new Hobart Multi Handler 200 because I wanted one unit to run stick and TIG with. I'm accustomed to my old Miller DialArc HF, and a little Miller MaxStar as well. I'm wanting fingertip controls for TIG for my new machine, but I'm concerned that it may not be available. There seems to be little to no information out there. Anybody have any firsthand experience with setting up fingertip controls on this Hobart unit? I don't care if the parts are aftermarket. I just want something that will work.

    It has a foot pedal input so presumably you just need the wiring pin-out, and then you can set up a hand amptrol.

    American Torch Tip makes a simple switch that you can tie wrap to your TIG torch for on / off operation.

    I don't know if SSC controls company is making a "Touch 4 TIG Welding Remote Fingertip Torch Hand Control" for the Hobart. It might be the same pinout as the Miller units. Is it a 14 pin circular connector ?

    Hobart is pretty good with customer service- were they not helpful?
