I own a amperage control on my Lincoln Squarewave 200 and am about to do a job that makes it impossible to use the pedal do to need to be on my back etc. Does anyone make a quality and compatible on/off switch for my torch that connects to my machines pedal plug. Could even be an amp control on the #17 torch. I thought I saw some years ago. Thanks

You can get on off switches. I have one for when I don’t want to use the pedal on my Syncrowave.

Lincoln is big enough that there should be one that fits your remote port.

The “TIG Button” works well. You can set it for 2T or 4T and control amperage by pressure if you’d like. Makes TIG tacking or welding out of position very easy. Simply Google it and they will send one to you compatible for your machine plug.

Thanks guys. I found the exact Lincoln torch switch on EBAY new for under $140 so will see how that will work out. I assume is momentary switch I must hold down.

Tig switch worked out great.
