MIG/TIG Torches & Accessories

Cryo Weld carries MIG guns, Weldcraft TIG torches, and the accessories to keep them running — from replacement Miller M-100 guns to Profax compact MIG guns up to 400 amps. Whether you’re outfitting a new machine or replacing a worn-out torch, our Poughkeepsie and Lake Katrine locations stock the parts most Hudson Valley shops need the same day.

Choosing the Right TIG Torch

TIG torches are sized by amperage rating, not just brand — a torch rated below your welding amperage will overheat during extended passes. Our Weldcraft A-125 and A-150 cover lighter-duty work up to 150 amps, while the W-250 and W-350 step up to higher-amperage, water-cooled applications for production welding. The “rule of 33” is a quick field check some welders use: multiply the tungsten diameter by 33 to estimate the amperage ceiling for a given electrode size, though actual torch amperage rating should always be the deciding factor.

Matching a MIG Gun to Your Machine

MIG guns are rated by amperage and duty cycle, and swapping to a higher-amp gun (like the Miller MDX-250) is a common upgrade when a shop moves from light fabrication into heavier production welding. Compact guns like the Profax Platinum Compact 180 are built for tight-access work where a standard-length gun is awkward to maneuver.

FAQs

1. What’s the difference between a 17, 18, and 26 TIG torch?
These numbers refer to torch series/size rather than a single standardized spec across brands — amperage rating and cooling type (air vs water) matter more for choosing the right torch than the number alone.

2. How do I know what amperage MIG gun I need?
Match the gun’s rated amperage to your welder’s maximum output — running a gun below its rated amperage is fine, but exceeding it risks overheating and reduced gun life.

3. Do you carry replacement parts for Miller and Weldcraft torches?
Yes, we stock replacement guns, torches, and accessories for Miller, Weldcraft, Tweco, and Profax lines.
