The Stubby TIG Collet is the ultimate solution for fabricators who need high amperage power without the bulk of a standard industrial torch head. Specifically designed for WP17, WP18, and WP26 torches, this 1/8" (3.2mm) collet allows you to run large diameter tungsten electrodes for heavy gauge material welding while utilising the smaller, low profile consumables typically found on micro torches.
By shortening the overall height of the torch head, the stubby configuration dramatically improves manoeuvrability in restricted spaces like roll cages, manifold collectors, and internal pipe welds. Machined from premium tellurium copper, this collet provides the high electrical conductivity needed to stabilise a heavy duty arc. Whether you are welding thick aluminium plate or heavy structural stainless, this collet ensures your large torch remains agile enough for the most difficult angles.
Sold in packs of 5 - Great for everyday use or stocking.
Key Features
Universal Stubby System: Converts heavy duty WP17/18/26 torches to a low profile 13N series consumable footprint.
1/8" (3.2mm) High Amp Capacity: Designed to hold heavy electrodes for deep penetration and thick plate welding.
Available in 3/32" (2.4mm): Also offered in the industry’s most popular size for general fabrication versatility.
Precision Machined Copper: Ensures maximum current transfer and prevents tungsten "vibration" at higher amperages.
Compact Ergonomics: Significantly reduces torch "headroom," allowing for a better line of sight and closer proximity to the weld pool.
