Hello all
I'm having a problem with my finger tip control cutting out.
It turns on and starts to ramp up power but about half way it cuts out.
Roll it back a little and it restarts the arc.
I'm assuming its the reostat control in the handle but thought I would
ask here first to see if anyone has had the same problem.

It is the RCC-14 Remote Contactor on a HH tigmate.
Makes no differance whether on AC or DC.
Thanks Wheels

It is probably the reostat, I would replacd it and not waste a lot of time. John
