      Look for a positioner that includes the jaw chunks. Some manufacturers sell them separately and others consider them standard equipment.

      Select a positioner with foot pedal and a speed control unit that is reversible. These features allow the operator to operate it with his foot while holding the piece he's working on. The armrest, although optional, helps to steady your wrist for more precise work.

      Be prepared to pay about well over two thousand dollars for a Roto Star III weld positioner. However, it'll more than pay for itself since it's helpful when performing the following tasks: to position the weld piece, while grinding, for assembly work, painting, soldering, brazing, or for production work.

Tips & Warnings

  • The positioner can accept pieces that are 4.5 inches in outside diameter. When you reverse the jaws, it can accept pieces with an exterior diameter of up to 9.25 inches.
