269388 - Miller Weldcraft 10N24 Collet 3/32" - Bulk Pack (2000)

Industrial Grade TIG Consumables Supply

The Weldcraft 10N24 Collet is a fundamental component for the 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, designed to securely hold 3/32-inch (2.4mm) tungsten electrodes. This specific SKU (MIL269388) represents a high-volume bulk packaging solution, containing 2000 individual units. For industrial procurement managers and large-scale fabrication facilities, this pack offers a streamlined approach to inventory management, ensuring that critical consumables are always on hand to prevent downtime.

Manufactured by Miller Electric under the Weldcraft brand, these collets are engineered to precise tolerances. The collet acts as the primary interface between the electrical power source and the tungsten electrode. When the back cap is tightened, the collet is compressed against the collet body, clamping down on the electrode. This mechanical action serves two purposes: it holds the tungsten in a fixed position to maintain arc length, and it provides the electrical contact surface for current transfer. The 10N24 is machined from high-grade copper alloy, optimized for thermal conductivity and electrical efficiency, which minimizes resistance heating within the torch head.

Compatibility is broad, covering the most common torch form factors in the industry. The 17 series (air-cooled), 18 series (water-cooled), and 26 series (air-cooled) torches all utilize the 10N series consumables. This cross-compatibility makes the 10N24 a versatile stock item for shops running mixed equipment. In automated or high-duty-cycle manual welding, collets are subject to thermal cycling which can cause them to twist, buckle, or lose their spring tension over time. Having a bulk supply ensures that operators can replace degraded collets immediately, maintaining weld quality and process consistency.

This product is strictly an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) offering, ensuring that the metallurgy and dimensional accuracy meet Miller's stringent standards. Unlike generic aftermarket copies, Weldcraft collets provide consistent gripping force and thread engagement, reducing the risk of arcing inside the torch body which can damage more expensive components.
