7-3080 - Thermal Arc 7-3080 TIG Welding Foot Control Pedal with 25ft Cable

Precise TIG Control with the Thermal Arc 7-3080

The ESAB / Thermal Arc 7-3080 Foot Control is an essential accessory for professional TIG welders seeking precision and comfort. Designed specifically for use with Thermal Arc power sources such as the Fabricator 186 AC/DC, 211i, and 252i, this remote control allows operators to fine-tune welding amperage hands-free. By adjusting current on the fly, welders can better manage heat input, control the weld puddle fluidity, and execute perfect crater fills at the end of a weld. This level of control is critical for working with thin gauge materials like aluminum and stainless steel where heat management is paramount.

Built for the rigors of the industrial workshop, the 7-3080 features a rugged steel case design that withstands heavy use, accidental drops, and the general wear and tear of a fabrication environment. Unlike lighter plastic pedals, this unit stays planted on the floor thanks to its weight and non-slip pads, preventing it from sliding away while you are in the middle of a critical bead. The low-profile ergonomic design helps minimize ankle strain, allowing for comfortable operation over extended periods of welding.

The unit comes complete with a generous 25-foot (7.6 meter) control cable, providing ample reach to move around large assemblies without dragging the welding machine with you. The cable is terminated with a standard 8-pin connector that plugs directly into the remote receptacle of compatible Thermal Arc machines. Whether you are in a production booth or a garage workshop, this foot control enhances your machine's capability, turning a standard TIG setup into a precision fabrication station.

Key Benefits for the Professional Fabricator

• Hands-Free Amperage Adjustment: Dynamically increase or decrease current to suit changing joint geometry or heat buildup.


• Robust Construction: All-metal housing ensures longevity and reliability in tough shop conditions.


• Extended Reach: The 25ft cable offers excellent flexibility for positioning around the workpiece.


• Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Designed specifically for Thermal Arc 8-pin systems for immediate setup.
