Repair and Refurbish D/F Torches

At D/F MACHINE SPECIALTIES we offer quality repair and refurbishment of any of our torches. No matter if your torch is MIG or TIG, air-cooled or water-cooled, we can usually repair or refurbish any torch for less than 1/3 of the cost of a new torch. Very often, bent or crashed torches can be straightened, and if they pass the pressure test they can be repaired to as good as new. The average cost of a new torch (dependent upon the model) is $700-$900. While the average cost of a repair is $229. Besides getting all of the damaged parts replaced with new parts, all D/F repaired torches will get a new power cable, contact tip, nozzle, spatter disc, and body liner, and will be reset to our factory specifications.

Very often we find that customers do not have spare torches to back-up the jobs they rely on. There is nothing worse in welding than down time. If you do not have a spare torch to back-up your production line, we always recommend that you order a new torch immediately to avoid this potential down time. After you have replaced a torch and are up and running, and before you throw away what you thought was a damaged and non-repairable torch, we ask that you send the damaged torch back to us for a free evaluation and factory repair estimate at only the cost of shipping.

At D/F MACHINE SPECIALTIES we guarantee expert and reliable support after a product has been purchased. This means a high productivity and long service life for your systems. D/F is fully equipped with tools, test equipment and Genuine repair parts to ensure that our products are repaired to original manufacturing specifications. At D/F, repaired products are tested to the standards of new products. Our repair personnel are employed full-time and their trained expertise can not be matched by independent repair facilities.

Check out the MIG & TIG Torch Refurbish & Repair page on the website for more information. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the factory.
