OVERVIEW

Precision Control for Micro TIG Applications

The Weldcraft 50C40 Chuck is a critical consumable designed specifically for the high-precision demands of micro TIG welding. Engineered to fit the Weldcraft MT-125, WP-50, and WP-50V series torches, this chuck serves the function of a collet, securely gripping 0.040-inch (1.0mm) tungsten electrodes. In micro-welding applications—such as aerospace component repair, tool and die maintenance, or intricate electronics fabrication—arc stability is paramount. A worn or ill-fitting chuck can lead to tungsten slippage, poor electrical contact, and erratic arc wandering, all of which compromise the integrity of delicate welds.

Manufactured to Miller Weldcraft's exacting standards, the 50C40 ensures optimal current transfer from the torch body to the electrode. The component is crafted from high-quality conductive alloy, offering resistance to heat deformation even during prolonged use. Unlike standard collets used in larger torches, the "chuck" design in these micro torches is specialized to accommodate the compact head assembly while maintaining sufficient clamping force on fine-diameter tungsten.

This product is supplied as a package of two, allowing professional welders to keep a spare on hand for immediate replacement. Regular inspection and replacement of the chuck are recommended to maintain the precision performance expected from the MT-125 and WP-50 series torches. Whether you are welding thin-gauge aluminum, stainless steel, or exotic alloys, starting with a secure electrode connection is the first step toward a defect-free weld.

FAQ

The 50C40 chuck is designed specifically for Weldcraft MT-125, WP-50, and WP-50V micro TIG torches.

This chuck is sized for 0.040-inch (1.0mm) tungsten electrodes.

Yes, in the context of these specific micro torches, the 'chuck' performs the same function as a collet in standard torches: it holds the tungsten electrode in place and transfers current.

The Weldcraft 50C40 is sold in a package of 2.

No, this specific part (50C40) is only for 0.040" tungsten. You would need a different part number for other diameters.

Yes, this is a genuine Miller Weldcraft replacement part.

Micro torches often use a different internal mechanism compared to standard 17 or 26 series torches, and 'chuck' refers to the specific gripping design used in the MT-125 and WP-50 series.

These micro torches typically have a specialized front-end assembly where the chuck fits directly into the torch body or a specific insulator setup, differing from standard collet body systems.
