57N50 - Weldcraft 57N50 3/16" TIG Collet for Large Gas Lens & Heavy Duty Torches (2-Pack)

Reliable Grip for Your Thickest Tungsten

When you are welding thick aluminum or heavy steel plate, you need a tungsten that can handle the heat, and a collet that can hold it. The Weldcraft 57N50 3/16" Collet is built for exactly that purpose. Designed to grip 3/16-inch (4.8mm) tungsten electrodes securely, this collet ensures you get the full power of your machine delivered right to the arc without slippage or sputtering. Whether you are pushing a water-cooled torch to its limit or fabricating heavy structural components, these collets are the backbone of your torch's front end.

One of the biggest advantages of the 57N50 is its versatility. If you run a heavy-duty WP-12 or WP-27 torch, this is your standard replacement part. However, if you use the popular WP-17, WP-18, or WP-26 torches, this collet allows you to upgrade to a Large Diameter Gas Lens system. This setup gives you superior gas coverage, allowing for longer tungsten stick-out and cleaner welds on sensitive materials. It’s a must-have upgrade for anyone looking to improve their shielding gas performance on standard torches.

Don't let a twisted or burnt-out collet ruin your weld or damage your torch threads. These genuine Weldcraft parts are made from high-quality copper that resists twisting and deformation better than generic alternatives. Sold in a convenient pack of two, you can keep a spare in your kit so you are never left scrambling when it's time to swap out consumables. Keep your arc smooth and your focus on the puddle with reliable Weldcraft consumables.
