Magnetic TIG Torch Holder

Magnetic TIG Torch Holder Keep your workspace organised and your TIG torch protected with this Magnetic TIG Torch Holder. Designed to provide a secure resting place for your torch when not in use, the powerful magnetic base allows the holder to be positioned anywhere on your welding table, workbench, machine, or other steel surfaces for maximum convenience. By keeping the torch off the bench and away from dirt, grinding dust, and hot metal, the holder helps protect valuable consumables such as tungsten electrodes, ceramic cups, and gas lenses from damage and contamination. It also reduces the risk of the torch being knocked to the floor, helping to extend the life of your equipment. Suitable for use with most air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches, this magnetic holder is an essential workshop accessory for professional fabricators, welders, and hobbyists looking to improve efficiency and keep their work area tidy. Key Features: Strong magnetic base securely attaches to steel surfaces Keeps TIG torches safely stored when not in use Helps protect tungsten electrodes and consumables from damage Reduces contamination from dust, dirt, and workshop debris Prevents the torch from falling or being accidentally knocked off the bench Reposition quickly and easily to suit your workspace Durable steel construction for long service life Suitable for most air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches Specifications: Product Type: Magnetic TIG Torch Holder Mounting: Heavy-duty magnetic base Material: Steel Compatibility: Suitable for most TIG welding torches Application: Welding tables, workbenches, fabrication bays, and steel work surfaces

CK Worldwide CK Gas Lens 2 Series For CK9 & CK20 (WP9 & WP20)

CK 2 Series Standard Gas Lens CK9 (WP9)  These gas lenses are for improving the gas coverage over standard collet bodies, these are ideal for allowing a longer tungsten to stick out, these fit all standard WP9 and WP20 torches. These gas lenses range in size from 0.5mm up to 3.2mm. These are used in conjunction with gas cups such as ceramic or glass cups. The glass lenses allow you to attach a wider range of cups to your welding arsenal. If you regularly weld stainless steel or titanium materials which require a wider spread of gas coverage, gas lenses are ideal as they provide a consistent non-turbulent gas flow.  Please note- if you require packs please order in quantities of 10.    Why are gas lenses better than standard collet bodies? Collet bodies are standard consumables used when TIG welding, the purpose of these parts are to hold electrodes in place and also allow the gas shield to surround the weld pool. The plume of gas over the weld pool comes through the special holes at the end of the collet body, the gas is filtered out but it does not have any specific direction just out of the torch- the shape of the cup aims the gas over the weld pool but it can result in uneven pockets in the gas as it is pushed from the torch. A gas lens can be used as a replacement to the collet body (not the collet though), it also holds the collet in place and evenly distributes the gas over the weld area. Gas lenses have a mesh screen used as a diffuser which distributes the gas in a laminar pattern over the weld area which allows for less turbulence and a better overall weld. A gas lens allows for increased gas coverage and means the tungsten can stick out further. A further benefit of using a gas lens is that we can save gas usage because it is more efficient and more effective. For example a regular collet body with a number 8 cup will use around 10 litres of gas per minute flow rate whereas the gas lens with the same number 8 cup would have a flow rate of roughly 5 litres per minute. This makes it a more efficient and cheaper method of gas shielding.  You may also weld at different angles as the flow is better, wider and more consistent. The inner mesh of the lens is also replaceable in case of contamination.
