OVERVIEW

Genuine Tweco Replacement Control Knob

The Tweco 10-6666 Knob Cap (IPS) is a specialized replacement component designed to restore the interface functionality of compatible welding power sources. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, it guarantees precise dimensional fit and material compatibility with specific Tweco and Thermal Arc machines, particularly within the Fabricator series. Maintaining the integrity of machine controls is critical for accurate parameter setting, and this replacement cap ensures that operators can continue to adjust voltage, wire feed speed, or amperage with confidence.

Constructed from durable, industrial-grade plastic, this knob cap is engineered to withstand the rigors of a welding environment, including exposure to heat, dust, and minor impacts. The design features a textured exterior to facilitate grip, allowing for fine-tuning of settings even while wearing welding gloves. The internal molding is keyed to fit the potentiometer shaft securely, preventing slippage during operation. This part specifically replaces lost, cracked, or stripped knobs, which are common issues in busy workshops where equipment is frequently moved or adjusted.

Installation is straightforward, typically requiring a simple push-fit application onto the existing control shaft. By using genuine Tweco parts, maintenance teams ensure that the equipment retains its original look and operational feel. This component is essential for keeping your welding assets in prime condition, preventing the frustration of trying to adjust settings with a bare shaft or damaged dial. Whether for a repair shop inventory or an immediate fix, the 10-6666 provides a reliable solution for control panel maintenance.

IPS likely refers to the specific control function or series designation on the original schematic, often related to parameter settings like Inches Per Minute (IPM) or similar controls.

If the plastic knob is cracked inside and not gripping the shaft, yes. If the metal shaft itself is broken or the potentiometer is bad, you may need a different internal repair part.

It is not recommended. Shaft sizes and shapes (D-shaft, splined, etc.) vary by manufacturer. This is specific to Tweco/Thermal Arc specs.

Yes, it has a textured or ribbed exterior to make it easy to turn, even when wearing welding gloves.
