For professional welders utilizing the high-amperage capabilities of the Weldcraft 18SC (Super Cool) TIG torch, the Weldcraft 18GL36 3\/16″ (4.8mm) Gas Lens Collet Body<\/strong> is an essential upgrade. Standard collet bodies can sometimes allow shielding gas to exit the nozzle in a turbulent cloud, which may draw in atmospheric contaminants and compromise the weld quality. This premium gas lens collet body is engineered to solve that problem by virtually eliminating turbulence at the source.<\/p>\n The 18GL36 features a multi-layer screen mesh that organizes the shielding gas into a coherent, laminar stream. This stable column of gas provides superior coverage over the weld pool, even when the electrode is extended further than usual. This capability is particularly beneficial when welding in deep joints or corners where visibility is limited. By allowing for a longer tungsten stick-out (up to 1 inch in some conditions without losing shielding), welders gain a clearer view of the arc and the puddle, leading to more precise bead placement and higher quality results.<\/p>\n Designed specifically for the robust 18SC water-cooled torch series, this collet body handles the heat and current requirements of heavy-duty fabrication. It is sized for 3\/16-inch (4.8mm) tungsten electrodes, making it suitable for thick plate welding where high heat input is required. This package includes two (2) collet bodies, ensuring you have a backup ready to minimize downtime in your production environment. Trust in the reliability of genuine Weldcraft components to maintain the performance and longevity of your TIG equipment.<\/p>\nKey Benefits for the Welder<\/h3>\n
