OVERVIEW

Precision TIG Welding with the Weldcraft A-80 Torch Body

The Weldcraft A-80 TIG Torch Body (formerly known as the WP-24) is a premium replacement component engineered for welders who demand precision and reliability in confined spaces. As part of the renowned Weldcraft A-Series, this torch body is designed to handle intricate welding applications where standard torches simply cannot fit. It features a lightweight, air-cooled architecture that is rated for 80 amps of DC output, making it an ideal choice for aerospace, motorsports, and artistic metal fabrication.

Constructed with high-grade copper components, the A-80 ensures maximum conductivity and efficient heat dissipation, extending the duty cycle and lifespan of the torch. The body is encased in high-dielectric silicone rubber insulation, which provides superior protection against high-frequency leakage and withstands the harsh environment of industrial welding. This rigid torch body offers a stable platform for the tungsten electrode, ensuring consistent arc control and weld quality.

The A-80 utilizes the standard 24-Series consumables, allowing for a seamless transition for users already equipped with WP-24 parts. Its front-loading design simplifies consumable changes, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. Whether you are welding thin-gauge aluminum, stainless steel, or chromoly tubing, the Weldcraft A-80 torch body delivers the performance and durability professionals expect from the Miller Weldcraft brand.

Key Technical Specifications

This torch body is strictly air-cooled, eliminating the need for bulky water coolers and hoses, which further enhances its portability. It is compatible with standard power cables and handles designed for the 24-series, ensuring a secure and conductive connection. The rigid head angle is optimized for general-purpose access, providing a balance between comfort and reach.

FAQ

Yes, the A-80 is simply the new name for the WP-24. It uses the exact same 24-series consumables (collets, collet bodies, nozzles) and handles.

The Weldcraft A-80 is rated for 80 Amps DC and approximately 50 Amps AC.

This specific model (MILWP-24) is the standard rigid body. Models with gas control valves are typically designated with a 'V' suffix (e.g., WP-24V).

The A-80 (WP-24) is an air-cooled (gas-cooled) torch body.

It features high-dielectric silicone rubber insulation which resists cracking and high-frequency voltage leakage.

Yes, within its amperage limits (approx 50A AC), it can be used for light-duty aluminum TIG welding.

No, this is the torch body only. The handle, power cable, and consumables are sold separately.

Weldcraft rebranded their air-cooled torches to the 'A-Series' to simplify identification. A-80 denotes an Air-cooled, 80-Amp torch.
