Hzxvogen HBT-2000P DIM DIY Upgrades - 1 touch CK-17-FX & more

HBT-2000Pro is a great welder. We rated it a 4 in our initial review.. In this DIM DIY video we'll go over how to upgrade it to 5 star unit with 2 upgrades. 1st we deal with the 200 amp WP26 torch that is stiff, heavy, with a large head. The Euro style torch has amperage controls we don't care for. We eliminate that. We cover the build and installation of a hybrid CK17 flex head including examining the wiring of the WP26 switch, the 5 pin connector, & the main board wiring. We show modifying an Eastwood trigger swtich to work with it. We show and solve GOTCHA's to allow using the CK17-FX with this Tig welder. We also show fixing the loose gas connector (common on this unit) on front of unit ================================================================= 00:16:14 Intro to what video is about 00:29:20 Intro of upgrades needed 01:08:16 Quick visual overview of same 02:45:18 Opening up HBT-2000Pro-SD 03:46:18 Determining internal 5pin wiring 04:52:11 Results of 5pin mapping 05:10:00 Determining WP26 5pin wiring 06:18:00 Opening WP26 determine switch wiring 06:26:00 Opening up WP26 torch 07:40:00 Breaking down switch literally & wiring 08:19:17 Results of switch functions to wires 09:03:08 Final color mapping torch to inside unit 09:46:00 Intro to new lighter flexible torch build 09:51:00 Simple on/off 2T-4T switch & changes to it 12:36:15 Intro build/assembly of CK17-FX torch 12:39:15 Gotcha's due to HBT-2000Pro-SD design 13:33:06 New Dinse DKJ35-50 for new torch 14:05:04 New vs old gotcha's shown 14:41:11 Modifying DLK35-50 to work with welder 15:20:06 Assemble new torch to modified DKJ35-50 16:51:11 Attaching gas hose for DKJ35-50 17:40:08 Quick compare of old vs new torch 19:45:00 Cost break down cost to build new torch 20:35:01 Fixing loose front gas connector inside unit 22:27:13 All done .. good to go 22:30:14 Nada - Second major gotcha 22:39:10 Dimensions/threads tig welder 22:49:14 Dimensions/threads new gas line 23:07:21 Obvious Mismatch 23:39:12 Finding fitting(s) that will work 24:06:24 Two solutions with 2 options 24:13:07 Solutions for 12x1.0 mm male fitting on welder 25:05:02 1st Option - Combine several fittings 26:09:00 First option - Multiple manual connectors 26:27:20 Second option - 1/4" NPT Quick Disconnects 27:31:12 SUCCESS? 27:34:15 Testing gas & gas flow & using trigger 28:38:05 Testing HF start using new trigger switch 29:04:14 Test holding trigger down ============================================================== Disclaimer: Due to factors beyond the control of this channel, we cannot guarantee against improper use or unauthorized modifications of information.
