OVERVIEW

Master High-Amp Welding with the W-350

Take your TIG welding capabilities to the next level with the Weldcraft W-350 Torch Package. If you are tackling heavy aluminum castings, thick structural steel, or demanding pipe welds, air-cooled torches simply can't keep up. The W-350 (formerly the legendary WP-18) is a water-cooled beast designed to handle 350 amps of DC power all day long. Say goodbye to overheating torches and uncomfortable handles; this system keeps its cool so you can focus on laying down the perfect bead.

Built for the Toughest Jobs

Welding isn't a gentle profession, and your gear needs to be as tough as you are. That's why this package (WP-18-12-R) comes equipped with premium braided rubber power cables. These aren't your standard stiff plastic hoses—the braided rubber offers incredible flexibility, making it easier to maneuver the torch into tight spots. More importantly, they are built to resist burns and cuts, ensuring your equipment survives the harsh reality of the welding shop floor. The 12.5-foot length is perfect for station work, keeping your leads tidy and your arc stable.

Comfort Meets Power

High amperage usually means high heat, but the W-350's efficient water-cooling design keeps the heat in the puddle, not in your hand. The ergonomic handle features a ribbed texture for a secure, non-slip grip, allowing for precise torch manipulation even with heavy gloves. Whether you are in the aerospace industry, motorsports fabrication, or general manufacturing, the W-350 gives you the control and endurance you need to produce X-ray quality welds shift after shift.

Ready to Weld

This complete package includes everything you need to hook up to your water-cooled power source. You get the rugged W-350 torch body, the durable handle, the high-performance braided power cable, plus the necessary gas and water hoses. It also includes a long back cap so you can use standard length tungsten electrodes right out of the box. Don't let equipment limitations hold you back—upgrade to the Weldcraft W-350 and experience the difference of professional-grade water-cooled performance.

FAQ

There is no functional difference. W-350 is the new model name for the torch formerly known as the WP-18 Series. They use the same consumables and parts.

Yes, the W-350 is a water-cooled torch. Operating it without a circulating water cooler will result in immediate overheating and damage to the power cable and torch head.

The W-350 uses standard 3 Series (10N series) consumables, including collets, collet bodies, and alumina nozzles.

The 'R' in the SKU indicates that this package comes with a braided rubber power cable, which offers better flexibility and heat resistance than standard vinyl cables.

No, this model features a rigid head without a gas valve. Gas flow is controlled via the solenoid on your welding machine.

The W-350 is rated for 350 Amps DC and 250 Amps AC at 100% duty cycle.

The package includes the W-350 torch body, handle, 12.5-foot braided rubber power cable, long back cap, gas hose, and water hose.

No, this is a TIG (GTAW) torch designed specifically for Tungsten Inert Gas welding.
