MAK-1S - Weldcraft MAK-1S Master Accessory Kit for 17/18/26 Series Torches

Professional Grade TIG Consumables Kit for 17/18/26 Series

The Weldcraft MAK-1S Master Accessory Kit is engineered to support the operational needs of professional welders utilizing the standard "3-series" TIG torches, including the air-cooled WP-17 and WP-26, and the water-cooled WP-18. This comprehensive package serves as both a starter set for new equipment and a maintenance kit for existing stations, ensuring that downtime due to missing or worn consumables is virtually eliminated. By bundling the most essential front-end parts into a single SKU, Weldcraft provides a cost-effective and logistical solution for managing TIG inventory.

Optimized Configuration: The kit focuses on the three most versatile tungsten diameters: 1/16" (1.6mm), 3/32" (2.4mm), and 1/8" (3.2mm). For each diameter, the kit supplies the matching collet and collet body, ensuring a precise fit that prevents tungsten slippage and ensures stable arc initiation. The assortment of alumina nozzles (cups) allows the welder to adjust gas coverage based on joint geometry and stick-out requirements. Furthermore, the inclusion of 7-inch tungsten electrodes—typically 2% Ceriated—means the kit is ready for both AC welding on aluminum and DC welding on steel and stainless steel, covering a broad spectrum of fabrication tasks.

Versatility and Organization: Beyond the core consumables, the MAK-1S enhances torch usability. The provided long back cap allows for full-length tungsten use, while the short back cap is indispensable for welding in confined areas where torch length is a limiting factor. All components are housed in a rugged plastic case with a latching lid, preventing the loss of small parts and protecting them from shop dust and moisture. This organization is critical for maintaining the cleanliness required for code-quality TIG welds. For MRO applications, having a MAK-1S on the shelf means you are always prepared to refurbish a torch head and get back to work efficiently.
