OVERVIEW

Lincoln Electric PTA-26 TIG Torch - K1783-2

Upgrade your TIG welding setup with the Lincoln Electric PTA-26 TIG Torch, a robust and reliable tool designed for welders who demand performance without the complexity of water-cooled systems. Available at Welders Supply, the K1783-2 model is a powerhouse in the air-cooled category, offering a 200 Amp output at a 60% duty cycle. This makes it an ideal torch for heavy-duty fabrication, structural work, and production environments where portability and simplicity are key. By eliminating the need for a water cooler, you reduce setup time and maintenance while still achieving professional-grade results on thicker sections of steel and aluminum.

Built for Comfort and Control
Welding fatigue can compromise weld quality, which is why Lincoln Electric designed the Pro-Torch™ series with operator comfort in mind. The PTA-26 features a lightweight construction paired with a specially designed knurled handle. This non-slip grip ensures you have absolute control over the torch movement, allowing for the precise manipulation required in TIG welding. The handle also incorporates a molded ridge that securely anchors zippered cable covers, keeping your workspace tidy and your cables protected from sparks and abrasion.

Durable and Versatile
This package includes a 12.5-foot, 2-piece cable assembly, providing ample reach for most workbench and shop applications. The rigid torch head is engineered for maximum durability, withstanding the heat and physical demands of daily industrial use. The PTA-26 is compatible with a wide range of tungsten sizes, from .020 inch to 5/32 inch, giving you the flexibility to tackle delicate thin-gauge work or crank up the amperage for heavy plate welding. It utilizes standard industry consumables (3 Series), making it cost-effective and easy to maintain over the long term.

Why Choose the PTA-26?
Whether you are an occasional TIG welder looking to upgrade your equipment or a professional fabrication shop outfitting multiple stations, the Lincoln K1783-2 delivers consistent arc stability and reliable gas coverage. Its air-cooled design offers maximum versatility and maneuverability, freeing you from the tether of water lines. Trust in the quality of Lincoln Electric and the value of Welders Supply to keep your arcs striking and your beads smooth.
