WeldingCityTIG Welding Torch Accessory Kit for Gas Lens Setup 3/32" Collet-Gas Lens-Ceramic Cup-Gasket-Back Cap in Torch 17, 18 and 26 Miller Lincoln Hobart ESAB Weldcraft (T14)

These arrived very quick and were just what I was looking for, for an older tig welder that I bought that didn't come with many accessories. I am fortunate to have a son who is a uniion certified and nuclear qualified welder, to help set up this welder and give his ole dad a lesson or refresher from time to time. These, though inexpensive, are still better than what comes with most of the newer, suitcase welders that you buy new today. See the attached pictures. I am using these on an older (1983) Miller Dialarc HF and they are holding up just fine. My machine will du up to 310 amps and I have no reason to believe that these would not hold up to that. These work just as well as the set I bought at the brick and mortor weld shop but cost much less. My son likes the 1/8" set up better as he is used to welding on heavy wall pipe. For my projects the 3/32" works just fine and for some sheet metal work that we have planned, I will probably drop down to the 1/16".

Great so far , i was very sceptical when buying this kit as one unit normally costs what the set of four cost in this kit ,it jumped right on my torch head and when to work i have used them all and worked ok , i noticed there is only one screen in this unit ,in original there are four screens or five but it seems to work with the one ok , i recommend given this a try before buying the five times more expensive ones ,i just hope screen is SS ,i will review this once more after some more time passesthank you.Well excellent had this over a year now and havant regretted one min well worth your hard earned money

I've never used a gas lense setup in a TIG torch before, but right away I noticed that I had to turn my regulator down from 12 cfm to around 8 cfm. While at my local weld shop, I noticed they sell the exact same ones, only at a higher price. The tighter and further reaching gas column allows for a longer tungsten stick out which nicely offsets the larger diameter torch cups. I doubt I'll go back to a standard collet in my TIG rig.

I have been working on a motorcycle frame chop and I have noticed a more stable Arc. It and finish isn't like the clear glass Pyrex available, but those are serious money for something disposable. If you have the expendable income, go the high dollar route, if not, these are decent.

First off these are big bulky and heavy, if you have been on YouTube watching videos touting a stubby gas lens this is not what you're looking for. These fit my weldcraft #17 flex torch as well as the factory torch for my ahp welder without needing the insulating gasket for large cups so as long as you have a 17 or any of the other torches listed I'm sure fit will be ok. As far as quality goes these are cheap and you get what you pay for. Some of the screens are wrinkled in mine, one of them holds the tungsten slightly off center, and all of them barely provide better gas coverage than a standard cup. You can have your tungsten out a little further with these but if you are welding stainless you will be well advised to spring for a better set. You can buy weldcraft gas lenses, not in a kit that I have found though, or get the ck stubby kit from amazon and save yourself the $20 spent on these and the week waiting hoping for better looking welds.

Bought this for school and it does it’s supposed to do

Honestly these parts seem to be used they’re scratched up, have black lines on them seems like someone used them already. I didn’t pay for something used I payed for something new.

I don't know anything about this stuff--I placed the order for my boyfriend who is a very talented welder. He has told me that they are awesome and uses them all of the time. He is pretty picky about the things he uses so for him to like them it must be saying something.
