FAQ
How does the BT17V differ from the BT17?
The ratings in the price list are the same. The BT17V belongs to the V series from the MMA section, comes in 4 m only and fits the CORE 165 MMA and CORE 185 MMA. The BT17 4 m fits the same machines plus the CORE 185 TIG, and the BT17 family also has U/D and potentiometer versions and an 8 m length.
Does the BT17V fit the CORE 210 MMA?
For the CORE 210 MMA the price list specifies the BT26V and the BT26 4 m, not the BT17V. Both take electrodes up to 4.0 mm.
Which consumables fit the BT17V?
Standard 17/18/26 series parts: collets 1.0 to 3.2 mm, collet bodies in the same sizes, ceramic nozzles from No. 4 (6.4 mm) to No. 12 (19 mm) and a long or short back cap. Match the collet and collet body to the electrode diameter.
