13N21 - Weldcraft 13N21 .040" TIG Collet (Pack of 5)

Genuine Weldcraft Precision for Industrial TIG Applications

The Weldcraft 13N21 Collet is a critical component for maintaining the efficiency and precision of your TIG welding operations. Designed specifically for use with .040" (1.0mm) tungsten electrodes, this collet is engineered to fit industry-standard 9, 20, and 25 series TIG torches. In industrial environments where downtime equates to lost revenue, relying on genuine Weldcraft consumables ensures that your equipment operates at peak performance levels. These collets are manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring a perfect mate with the collet body and the tungsten electrode, which is essential for consistent electrical contact and heat dissipation.

Reliable Current Transfer

One of the primary functions of the collet is to transfer welding current from the torch body to the tungsten electrode. The 13N21 is crafted from high-quality copper alloy, selected for its excellent electrical conductivity and thermal properties. A poor-quality collet can lead to arcing inside the torch, overheating, and premature failure of both the consumable and the torch head. By choosing Weldcraft, you ensure a stable electrical connection that supports smooth arc initiation and maintenance, even at the lower amperage ranges typically used with .040" tungsten.

Compatibility and Versatility

This 5-pack of collets provides a cost-effective solution for stocking your tool crib or welding station. The 13N21 is compatible with a wide range of air-cooled and water-cooled torches, including the popular WP-9, WP-20, and WP-25 models. Whether your team is fabricating aerospace components, performing precision tool and die repairs, or welding thin-gauge stainless steel, these collets provide the mechanical security needed to hold the electrode firmly in place. Proper collet maintenance is vital; as they wear, they can twist or lose their grip, leading to tungsten slippage. Replacing them regularly with genuine Weldcraft parts helps maintain the integrity of your welding system.
