OVERVIEW

Reliable Generic 10N23 Collet for TIG Welding

The Generic 10N23 Collet is an essential consumable designed to keep your TIG welding operations running smoothly and efficiently. Specifically engineered for use with 1/16-inch (1.6mm) tungsten electrodes, this collet serves as the critical interface between your torch and the electrode. By securely clamping the tungsten in place when the back cap is tightened, it ensures precise positioning and consistent electrical contact, which are vital for maintaining a stable welding arc.

This collet is built to industry-standard specifications, making it fully compatible with the widely used 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches. Whether you are using an air-cooled WP-17 or WP-26, or a water-cooled WP-18 torch, this part will fit seamlessly into your existing setup. It is designed to work in conjunction with standard collet bodies (such as the 10N31) to provide a reliable gas path and electrode support system.

One of the primary advantages of choosing this generic replacement is the balance of quality and value. While it performs the same function as branded counterparts from manufacturers like Weldcraft or Miller, it is offered at a price point that makes it easier to keep your shop well-stocked. TIG collets are consumables that degrade over time due to heat cycles and mechanical wear; having a ready supply of these 10N23 collets ensures that you never experience downtime due to a twisted or worn-out part.

Constructed from durable copper alloy, the collet is designed to withstand the thermal stresses of welding while maximizing current transfer. Whether you are a hobbyist working in a garage or a professional fabricator in a busy industrial environment, this 1/16-inch collet provides the performance you need to produce high-quality welds on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

FAQ

The 10N23 collet is compatible with 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including air-cooled and water-cooled models from major brands like Weldcraft, Miller, Lincoln, and CK Worldwide.

This collet is designed specifically for 1/16 inch (1.6mm) diameter tungsten electrodes.

You should replace the collet if it becomes twisted, bent, discolored from overheating, or if it no longer grips the tungsten securely when the back cap is tightened.

Yes, the 10N23 collet is manufactured from a high-quality copper alloy to ensure excellent electrical conductivity and heat resistance.

Yes, this standard collet is typically used with standard collet bodies and many standard gas lens collet bodies for the 17, 18, and 26 series torches.

Yes, this is a generic replacement that meets the specifications of the Weldcraft 10N23 and is functionally equivalent.

No, this collet is strictly for 1/16" (1.6mm) tungsten. You would need a 10N24 collet for 3/32" electrodes.

This SKU represents a single unit, but collets are often purchased in bulk quantities for convenience.
