Why are there only three (3) wheels on the IK-12 Max3?
The IK-12 Max 3 is designed to be used with three wheels. By triangulating the contact points an even amount of pressure is distributed between the larger diameter wheels resulting in more stable travel and better traction. The “extra” mount for the idler wheel is used with the IK-12 circle track, but not with the straight track.

How do I convert my IK-12 Max3 oxy fuel portable cutting machine to welding?
If you already are using a “S” Series (S-100, SP-100, etc) torch set, you can remove the oxy fuel torch and insert a MIG torch holder (Part#61000676) and a Bushing (Part#ZM61282) to mount a welding gun. The welding function can be triggered by the torch trigger or a remote pendant from the welding manufacturer. Please contact our Customer Service Department for using other Welding options including interface boxes and Roller Brackets.
