125C116-90 - Weldcraft 90-Degree Micro TIG Chuck 1/16"

Product Overview

The Weldcraft 125C116-90 90 Degree Chuck is a specialized consumable designed for high-precision TIG welding applications. Engineered specifically for the W-125 (formerly MT-125) Micro TIG torch series, this chuck allows operators to configure their torch head at a 90-degree angle. This configuration is essential for industries requiring intricate welds in confined spaces, such as aerospace, automotive, and tool and die repair.

Manufactured by Miller Weldcraft, a leader in TIG welding solutions, this part ensures seamless compatibility and performance. It is sized to accept 1/16-inch (1.6mm) tungsten electrodes, a standard size for fine detail work. The chuck acts as both the gripping mechanism for the electrode and the conductive path for the welding current, making the quality of its material and machining critical for stable arc performance.

Compatibility and Use

This chuck is a direct replacement part for the W-125 Micro TIG torch system. The W-125 system is unique in its ability to interchange chucks to achieve different welding angles (180-degree, 90-degree, and 45-degree). The 125C116-90 specifically provides a perpendicular angle, which is often required when welding inside bores, around pipe obstructions, or in recessed cavities where a straight torch cannot maneuver.

Proper maintenance of your Micro TIG torch involves regularly inspecting the chuck for wear or thermal damage. A worn chuck can lead to poor arc starts, wandering arcs, or overheating due to poor electrical contact. Replacing your chuck with this genuine Weldcraft component restores the torch's original performance specifications.
