OVERVIEW

Master Your TIG Welding with Total Control

Take your TIG welding projects to the next level with the Thermal Arc Foot Control, part number 600285. If you own a Thermal Arc or Tweco Fabricator machine—whether it's the portable 141i, the versatile 181i and 211i, or the powerful 252i—this accessory is the upgrade you have been waiting for. TIG welding requires finesse and precision, and the ability to adjust your heat input on the fly is what separates a good weld from a great one. With this professional-grade foot pedal, you gain complete hands-free command over your amperage, allowing you to start the arc smoothly, ramp up heat as needed, and taper off cleanly to finish your bead.

Built for the Workshop
We know that welding shops can be tough environments, which is why this foot control is built to last. It features a rugged steel housing that protects the internal components from drops, kicks, and sparks. The base is equipped with non-slip pads to keep the pedal exactly where you put it, preventing it from sliding away while you are in the middle of a critical pass. The 15-foot cable gives you plenty of room to move, making it perfect for working on large tables or moving around a vehicle chassis without dragging the welder with you.

Plug and Play Simplicity
Forget about complicated setups or guessing which wires go where. The Thermal Arc 600285 comes ready to use with a factory-installed 8-pin Amphenol plug that fits perfectly into the remote socket of your Fabricator welder. Simply plug it in, switch your machine to remote mode, and you are ready to weld. It is the ideal tool for bench work, automotive restoration, and any application where precision heat control is mandatory. Don't limit your machine's potential—add the foot control that was designed for it.

Why You Need This Pedal:

  • Better Welds: Control heat input to prevent warping and burn-through.
  • Hands-Free: Keep both hands on the torch and filler rod for better stability.
  • Comfort: Ergonomic design allows for hours of comfortable welding.
  • Versatility: Essential for welding aluminum (on compatible AC machines) and stainless steel.
