Has anyone added a Coolmate torch cooler to a Lincoln Square Wave 200 ??
I like the feel of the #9 torch, but it's rated 125 amps. I want to weld heavier aluminum and add helium to push the limit of my Square Wave 200 up some, and was thinking of getting a #20 torch (liquid cooled) and adding a Miller Coolmate to it (as economically as possible -- whatever used one I can find on eBay.) Any ideas / feedback?

just do it. cooler is for the torch does not really concern the power source. Just remember to have the cooler running before welding.
Can also use constant water loss from a faucet.

I did it to my Miller Diversion 180. 20 torch with super flex 25' hoses and a home made cooler using a vending machine cooling pump and tank from e-bay. Added a Jattus Tig Perfect pulser and a Smith Equipment Argon/Helium mixer from e-bay.

I am not nearly as good a welder as it is :D
