OVERVIEW

Precision and Comfort for TIG Welders

The Miller Classic TIG Welding Gloves (Medium) are designed specifically to meet the unique demands of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Unlike heavy MIG or Stick gloves, TIG welding requires a high degree of finesse and tactile sensitivity to manipulate the torch and feed filler rod accurately. Miller has engineered these gloves to provide that essential dexterity without compromising on safety or durability.

The construction features a dual-leather design. The palm is crafted from premium pigskin leather, known for its resilience and breathability. Pigskin is particularly advantageous in welding environments because it resists hardening when exposed to moisture or perspiration, ensuring the gloves remain soft and pliable over time. The back of the glove is made from split cowhide, which offers robust protection against radiant heat and sparks where your hand is most exposed.

Durability is further enhanced by the use of 100% Kevlar thread throughout the glove's construction. Kevlar is heat-resistant and incredibly strong, preventing seam failure under thermal stress. The glove also features a reinforced thumb patch to combat wear in the most common friction point. With a 6-inch cuff, your wrists and forearms are shielded from arc rays and hot metal, making these an excellent choice for professional fabricators and hobbyists alike.

Key Benefits

  • Tactile Sensitivity: The unlined palm allows you to feel the diameter of your filler wire, crucial for precise bead control.
  • Moisture Resistance: Pigskin stays soft even after getting wet or sweaty, extending the usable life of the glove.
  • Ergonomic Fit: Pre-curved fingers align with the natural shape of your hand, reducing fatigue during extended welding sessions.

FAQ

The Miller 263347 is a size Medium. Miller typically uses specific part numbers for each size in the Classic TIG series (e.g., 263346 is Small, 263348 is Large).

Pigskin is used because it is extremely durable, breathable, and resistant to oil and water. Unlike other leathers, it does not stiffen after drying, maintaining the dexterity needed for TIG welding.

The palm is unlined to maximize dexterity and touch sensitivity, which is critical for feeding TIG wire. The back of the hand may have minimal backing provided by the cowhide structure for heat protection.

While they can be used for very low-amperage MIG welding, they are not recommended for standard MIG or Stick welding. They are designed for TIG and may not offer enough heat insulation for the higher heat and spatter of MIG/Stick processes.

These gloves feature a 6-inch safety cuff to provide adequate protection for the wrist and lower forearm against arc rays and minor sparks.

Do not wash them in water. Clean with a soft brush to remove debris. If they become stiff or dirty, use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner designed for welding gear.

The gloves are sewn with 100% Kevlar thread, which is heat-resistant and prevents the seams from burning out or rotting due to thermal exposure.

Yes, the Miller Classic TIG gloves feature a reinforced thumb patch to add durability to the area that typically experiences the most friction from handling torches.
