What to check first
Unstable arc
Inspect tungsten contamination. Verify collet tightness. Inspect gas lens or collet body. Verify gas coverage and work connection.
Poor gas coverage
Inspect cup condition. Verify gas lens seating. Inspect O-rings and heat shield. Verify gas flow and shielding from drafts.
Consumable fitment issue
Verify torch family first. Confirm 2 Series vs 3 Series. Match tungsten diameter to collet. Confirm standard vs gas lens setup.
Verify before ordering CK TIG parts
CK consumables are series-specific. Confirm torch family, 2 Series vs 3 Series, gas lens vs standard setup, tungsten diameter, cooling type, and machine connector before ordering. Amazon links remain optional buying references only and are not used as compatibility truth.
