10N25 - 10N25 1/8" (3.2mm) TIG Collet for 17/18/26 Series Torches

Keep Your Arc Steady with the 10N25 Collet

Every TIG welder knows that the quality of the arc starts with the condition of the torch consumables. The 10N25 1/8" (3.2mm) Collet is the workhorse component that holds your tungsten electrode firmly in place, ensuring you get the control you need for precise beads. If you are running a 17, 18, or 26 series TIG torch, this is the specific part you need to secure 1/8-inch tungsten. Made from durable copper, it stands up to the heat of heavy-duty welding while delivering the current smoothly to the tip of the electrode.

A worn-out collet can be a welder's nightmare, leading to wandering arcs, tungsten slippage, or even poor gas coverage if the assembly isn't seated right. This replacement collet features the standard split design that tightens down evenly when you screw in your back cap. It’s built to handle the thermal expansion and contraction of daily welding, but like all consumables, it eventually needs swapping out. If you notice your tungsten spinning or sliding even when the cap is tight, or if the collet looks twisted and burnt, it's time to pop in a new 10N25. This generic version gives you the performance you expect at a price that makes it easy to keep a handful in your toolbox.

Whether you are welding aluminum, stainless steel, or mild steel, using the correct size collet is safety and performance 101. Trying to jam a 1/8" tungsten into a smaller collet or using a larger one will result in frustration and bad welds. This 10N25 is precision-sized for 3.2mm electrodes, making it a perfect match for jobs requiring higher amperage ranges typically used with this diameter. Compatible with all major torch brands that follow the 10N series sizing, it’s a versatile and essential part of your TIG kit. Don't let a cheap consumable ruin an expensive part; keep your torch in top shape with fresh collets.
