I've had this Tig rig for several years now. Very happy with it. My brother-n-law has this same flow meter, he is happy with it.

how did you make up your power cable? my head on the 160 is a twist tighten not the normal clamp style

i was also thinking 3/32 thoriated to start, seem to be good for steel/stainless, which is all im doing at the moment

I just cut the end off the lead that comes with the welders. Leave the male dense connector on the lead that plugs into the welder. All my welding leads have male, and female connectors on them.
