These CK torches offer quite a few improvements over traditional parts&#8217; designs, targeting some of the common complaints in the industry:<\/p>\n<h2>COLLETS<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&amp;search_in_description=1&amp;keyword=wedge+style+collet\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3435\" title=\"wedge-collet\" src=\"\/blog\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/wedge-collet-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Wedge collet for CK Worldwide Series 2 TIG Torch \" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/wedge-collet-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/wedge-collet-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/wedge-collet.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>If you&#8217;re having problems with collets losing their shape due to high amperage applications, try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&amp;search_in_description=1&amp;keyword=wedge+style+collet\" target=\"_blank\">Wedge Collet<\/a>. This collet design uses an interference fit to lock the electrode into place, rather than the clamping action of traditional collets that tends to wear out faster.<\/p>\n<h2>THREADING<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_728_907_910_1407\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3436 alignright\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" title=\"caticon_cktig_ahmaster_ck150rugged\" src=\"\/blog\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/caticon_cktig_ahmaster_ck150rugged.jpg\" alt=\"CK Worldwide rugged Contractor Series TIG Torch\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a>If the threading in your torches is wearing out from accidental cross-threading or just from heavy use, try the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_728_907_910_1407\"> Contractor Series torch (CK-C150). This 150 Amp Air-Cooled torch<\/a> uses all the same front end parts as traditional 17-Series TIG torches, but the torch body is made of Stainless Steel. CK Worldwide has perfected this design so that you get the full 150Amp capacity (100% Duty Cycle) in a TIG Torch that is designed to last in the harshest environments.<\/p>\n<h2>CABLES<\/h2>\n<p>And, if you haven&#8217;t tried CK Worldwide&#8217;s SuperFlex power cables on your air-cooled TIG torch then you need to find out what you&#8217;ve been missing! These single piece air-cooled power cables are so flexible and light weight that you can coil them around your hand\u2014and the pricing is almost unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>CK Worldwide has a proven track record in the industry offering products that address the needs of welders in the field. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=13_728\">From specialty low-profile TIG torches to high-visibility Gas Saver parts, CK innovations can really improve your welding process.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t see something you&#8217;re looking for, give us a call; if it&#8217;s not online, we still have it\u2014and if it doesn&#8217;t exist, there&#8217;s a chance that CK Worldwide will make it custom.
