0700009010 - ESAB G-Tech 3.2mm Tungsten Grinder Collet

Precision Component for TIG Electrode Preparation

The ESAB G-Tech Electrode Clamp 3.2mm (Part Number 0700009010) is a critical replacement component designed exclusively for the ESAB G-Tech series of tungsten grinders. In the realm of TIG welding, the preparation of the tungsten electrode is paramount to achieving a stable arc and high-quality weld bead. The G-Tech system is renowned for its ability to grind electrodes longitudinally in a closed, safe environment, and this clamp plays a vital role in that process.

Engineered to strict tolerances, this clamp is specifically sized to grip 3.2mm (approximately 1/8 inch) tungsten electrodes. When inserted into the grinding head, the clamp ensures the electrode is held perfectly concentric to the grinding wheel. This concentricity is essential; if an electrode is ground off-center, the resulting arc can wander, leading to poor heat control and potential weld defects. By utilizing this genuine ESAB part, operators maintain the mechanical integrity of their grinding setup, ensuring that every sharpen results in a perfectly centered point.

The clamp is constructed from high-grade durable materials capable of withstanding the vibration and rotational forces inherent in the grinding process. Over time, the internal surfaces of a clamp can wear down due to the abrasive nature of tungsten and repeated tightening cycles. Replacing a worn clamp with this OEM part restores the grip strength required to prevent the electrode from slipping or rotating during grinding, which is a common cause of uneven points and operator frustration.

Integration is seamless. The component is designed to fit directly into the G-Tech's electrode holder assembly without modification. Whether you are working in aerospace, motorsports, or general fabrication, maintaining your ancillary equipment is as important as maintaining the power source itself. This 3.2mm clamp ensures your G-Tech grinder continues to deliver the precision required for critical TIG applications.
