TIG Turret Rotary Weld Positioner

TIG Turret Rotary Welding Positioner

The TIG Turret is a compact, variable-speed, precision rotary welding positioner and turntable made in the USA by Artifact Fabrication

We fine-tuned a speed range specific to precision TIG-welding of parts up to 4" in diameter. Our design operates smooth and stepless for a consistent weld.

One-of-a-kind compact design minimizes bench and storage space without sacrificing the torque and speed control needed for precision projects. This machine is truly a portable device, equipped with a convenient carrying handle and operating from a 12VDC input. When used with the correct power adapter, this machine can be operated anywhere in the world; in the field, powered by vehicle, or by battery. We include a standard 2-prong 120V power adapter, designed to work with standard U.S. house plugs.

The TIG Turret was designed, developed, and rigorously tested within our very own high volume production shop. You will not find a better machine for the money - we designed the TIG Turret to meet a highly competitive price point, meeting the needs of fabricators who demand consistency, quality, and reliability without breaking the bank.
