Note: This cup requires the use of a large diameter gas lens (45V44) to fit #9 & #20 torches or the Furick Torch Mount Kit to fit #17, #18 and #26 torches. If you have one already you can surely use it, but keep in mind that import brands tend to yield lower results.
The Furick Cup Ceramic BBW #16 is constructed just like the tried and true Glass BBW Weld Cup, but will now be able to handle the accidental bumps and bangs, and best of all you will be able to walk it! The BBW Ceramic Cup comes with one cup, one spare diffuser and uses anywhere from 25-30+ CFH of argon flow depending on the application. It is recommended for use with 3/32" tungsten and carries a 180 amp rating on constant amperage, which can be increased if using pulse settings. Don't settle for inferior knockoffs!
The BBW Welding Cup is recommended for mild steel, stainless steel, chromoly, titanium, inconel and other space grade alloys. This cup works best on thicker/larger applications where you need spread out coverage.
It is recommended with all the BIG Diffuser Cups that you start off on low amp settings to stabilize the arc, making sure you will not arc off the diffuser. If diffuser arcing occurs you will have to clean/regrind the tungsten. You will not hurt the diffuser on low amps but if you arc with high amps you can deteriorate the diffuser.
