Amptrol for Vulcan Pro Tig 205

Has anyone tried a torch mounted slider or rotary amptrol from USA Weld?

I have the CK amptrols for Miller and Lincoln. Just ok. I ditched them for the SSC controls Touch 4. Much better. Since SSC make foot controls, they may also offer the amptrol.

Are you happy with the touch 4 having only 4 settings when welding aluminum?

Have you seen the "TigButton" on 6061's site?

Not Cheap, but is more of an infinite control instead of 4 steps. I like it, works Really well on Alum (and not just for him, he makes Everything look good of course )

I have the USA Weld Amptrol for the PP220 Mig that I got from them. It's made by CK (comes in a CK box even)

I looked into the TIG button but it’s not available for Vulcan machines.

The touch 4 steps/movement are minute and relatively imperceptible, feels continuous. I like mine been. Been using it for about 4 yrs.

Yes, happy. In fact it is the quickest and most precise of the ones I have. I have had the dial type, the slide type, and have a couple lf CK belt drive amptrols. We only use the Touch4 now and have taken a beating. I figure we have over 20k starts on the Miller Touch4. And a few thousand on the Lincoln Touch4. CK belt drives are only good for about 1k arc starts.

Having only 4 steps is barely noticed.

The touch 4 is also much simpler to install. Comes with the appropriate cable end for whatever machine and it just plugs in the same receptacle as the foot pedal.
If I recall that other button brand has external power supply, wires etc., something like that. Seemed awkward to me.
I have 2 of the SSC touch 4 units and they are especially great for out of position welds where you just can’t use the foot pedal.
