53N63 - .040 Gas Lens Collet for WP-24 Micro TIG Torches

Precision Gas Lens Collet for Micro TIG Applications

The Weldcraft 53N63 is a specialized gas lens collet engineered specifically for the WP-24 and WP-24W series of micro TIG torches. Designed to hold .040-inch (1.0mm) tungsten electrodes securely, this component is essential for welders performing intricate fabrication work in restricted spaces. Unlike standard collets, this gas lens variant is designed to work within a system that optimizes shielding gas coverage while minimizing the physical footprint of the torch front end.

One of the primary technical advantages of the 53N63 collet is its contribution to reducing the overall torch head length. By allowing the use of smaller nozzles, it enables the operator to maneuver the torch into confined areas—such as inside pipe clusters, engine manifolds, or complex aerospace assemblies—where a standard torch setup would be too bulky. The gas lens technology inherently provides a more laminar flow of shielding gas, which reduces turbulence and allows the tungsten to be extended further (stick-out) without compromising the integrity of the weld pool. This extended stick-out capability is critical when visibility is limited or when welding in deep grooves.

Manufactured to Miller Weldcraft's rigorous standards, these collets are made from high-grade copper alloy, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and heat dissipation. Proper heat management is vital in micro-torches to prevent consumable deformation and ensure consistent arc stability. This product is supplied in a pack of five, ensuring that professional fabricators have adequate stock for production runs or critical repair tasks. It is a direct replacement part that maintains the original performance specifications of the WP-24 series equipment.
