The Furick BBW cup has been a favourite for a lot of great welding talent, and its now avaliable in the ceramic version.
This full ceramic model comes with a spare diffuser screen and this model threads on your 45V44 gas lens if you have a 9/20 style torch. If you have a 17/18/26 style torch you will need the adaptor kit.
The cup is recommended for DC only and a 2.4mm tungsten.
A few pro tips:
- Keep your tungsten clean at all times. - Start arc at low amperage, establish arc on tip of tungsten then roll into the desired amperage. If the arc wanders clean tungsten or damage to the diffuser screen is possible. - Keep the screen in the shape it comes with and try not to deform the screen. If screen replacement is desired make sure the screen is sealed against the walls of the cup or undesired results may occur.
