The Stubby TIG Collet is the key component for fabricators looking to "downsize" their heavy duty torches. Specifically designed for WP17, WP18, and WP26 torch bodies, this collet allows you to use the smaller 13N series consumables (typically found on WP9/20 torches) on your larger torch. This significantly reduces the overall height of the torch head, providing the surgical precision of a small torch with the amperage capacity of a large one.
Sized for .020" to .040" (0.5mm - 1.0mm) electrodes, this stubby collet is perfect for low amperage, high detail work. Whether you are welding thin gauge stainless steel, intricate automotive sensors, or delicate aerospace components, the stubby configuration improves your line of sight and allows for better torch control in confined areas. Machined from premium copper, it ensures excellent electrical conductivity and a secure, concentric grip on your tungsten.
Sold in packs of 5 - Great for everyday use or stocking.
