OVERVIEW

Keep Your Arc Smooth and Steady

Every TIG welder knows that the front end of your torch takes a beating. Heat, spatter, and constant tightening can wear down your consumables, leading to a wandering arc or poor gas coverage. The ESAB 10N28 Collet Body is your go-to replacement for 1/8-inch (3.2mm) setups. If you are running a standard #17, #18, or #26 torch—whether it's an ESAB HW-17 or a similar model from another brand—these collet bodies are the exact fit you need to get back to laying dimes.

Why does the collet body matter? It’s the anchor for your tungsten. If the threads are stripped or the seat is warped, your collet won't grip the tungsten tight enough, leading to slipping or erratic electrical contact. These ESAB bodies are built from tough copper alloy to handle the heat and keep the current flowing smoothly to your electrode. They are designed for standard setups, meaning they work perfectly with your regular pink ceramic cups and standard collets. No need for fancy gas lens adapters if you are just doing standard fabrication work.

This pack comes with five collet bodies, which is perfect for the toolbox. You never want to be stuck in the middle of a job waiting on a cheap part. When you notice your threads getting gritty or your arc starting to stutter, swap in a fresh 10N28. It’s a small maintenance step that makes a huge difference in your weld quality. They screw in easily, center your tungsten perfectly, and let you focus on your puddle control rather than fighting your equipment.

FAQ

The 10N28 fits all 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including ESAB HW-17, HW-18, and HW-26, as well as similar models from Weldcraft, CK Worldwide, and Miller.

This collet body is designed specifically for 1/8-inch (3.2mm) tungsten electrodes.

No, the 10N28 is a standard collet body. If you require a gas lens for 1/8" tungsten, you would typically need part number 45V27.

This product is sold as a pack of 5 collet bodies.

No, you must match the collet body to the tungsten size. For 3/32" tungsten, you need the 10N32 collet body.

It is manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy to ensure excellent electrical conductivity and heat resistance.

Yes, you should use a 10N25 collet (1/8") to match this collet body.

Symptoms include stripped threads, poor arc starting due to bad electrical contact, or the inability to tighten the back cap sufficiently to hold the tungsten.
