OVERVIEW

Get Into Tight Spots with the Weldcraft W-180

Every welder knows the frustration of a job where a standard TIG torch just won't fit. Whether you are welding inside a manifold, working on a complex roll cage, or repairing a mold, space is often the enemy. Enter the Weldcraft W-180 (WP-24W) TIG Torch Body. This isn't just a small torch; it's a water-cooled powerhouse designed to go where other torches can't, without asking you to sacrifice amperage. While air-cooled micro torches limit you to low power, the W-180 lets you crank it up to 180 Amps, giving you the heat you need to penetrate thicker materials even in confined spaces.

The W-180 features a rigid head that gives you excellent control over your tungsten angle. Because it is water-cooled, the torch stays comfortable in your hand even during long duty cycles, reducing operator fatigue and downtime. It is the direct replacement for the classic WP-24W, so if your old torch body has seen better days—perhaps damaged by arcing or thread wear—this genuine Weldcraft part will get your rig back up and running instantly. It connects seamlessly to your existing water-cooled power cables and hoses.

Don't let a bulky torch limit your craftsmanship. The W-180 uses the standard 24-series front-end parts (collets, cups, and insulators), keeping your consumable costs low and your inventory simple. Upgrade your accessibility and keep your cool with this essential tool for the precision fabricator.

Why Choose the W-180?

  • Compact Size: One of the smallest water-cooled heads on the market.
  • High Power: Rated for 180 Amps at 100% duty cycle.
  • Durability: Rugged copper construction withstands industrial environments.

FAQ

Yes, W-180 is the newer model name for the WP-24W. They are identical in specifications and fitment.

The W-180 uses the 24-Series consumables (collets, collet bodies, and alumina cups), which are the same as the air-cooled WP-24.

The W-180 (WP-24W) is water-cooled. If you need the air-cooled version, you should look for the A-80 (WP-24).

It is rated for 180 Amps DC or 115 Amps AC at 100% duty cycle.

No, this is the torch body only. The handle, power cables, and water hoses are sold separately.

Yes, provided you are within the AC amperage limit (115A) and using the appropriate power source and consumables.

The W-180 features a rigid head with a standard angle (typically around 70 degrees) designed for general access.

Yes, it is a direct replacement for the WP-24W torch body and fits standard water-cooled micro torch cables.
