Need Help Choosing the Right Setup?
Choosing the right equipment depends on your application, material, and welding conditions.
- For more control and precision → use smaller components and tighter setups
- For more coverage and larger welds → use larger setups and higher gas flow
- For high-heat applications (like aluminum) → use materials designed to handle increased temperatures
- For tight spaces → use more compact profiles
If you’re unsure what you need, start with a complete setup or kit and build from there.

Genuine EDGE™ MAXSHIELD™ 5-Cup TIG Kit – Maximum Shielding Coverage
The Genuine EDGE™ MAXSHIELD™ 5-Cup TIG Kit combines five large-coverage EDGE Laminar Flow Pyrex TIG cups for applications requiring increased shielding coverage, extended tungsten reach, and greater protection of the weld area.
Featuring #12S, #15S, #18S, #21S, and #23 cups, MAXSHIELD provides progressively larger shielding envelopes for stainless steel, chromoly, titanium, Inconel, and other reactive or exotic alloys. Components for both WP-9/WP-20/WP-25 and WP-17/WP-18/WP-26 torch platforms are included and matched to the selected tungsten size.
Key Benefits
- Five levels of shielding coverage from #12 through #23
- Extended tungsten capability for difficult-to-access welds
- EDGE Laminar Flow technology for controlled, consistent shielding gas distribution
- Large shielding envelopes for titanium, Inconel, and other demanding alloys
- Clear Pyrex construction for excellent weld-puddle visibility
- Components for both major TIG torch platforms
- Gas lenses, collets, and replacement diffusers matched to the selected tungsten size
