Yup, you need to size the collet to the diameter of the tungsten. Part of the learning process.

The Diversion 165 comes with a collet for 3/32 tungstens. That's probably what you should ask for.

And don't buy budget brand chinese soft copper parts. Ask for genuine weldcraft parts.
I like the Weldtec brand myself. Like all the good parts, they use tellurium copper alloy to make thiers.Nothing welded, Nothing gained

thank you for your answers, i was wondering why there was a need for a different collet, after looking at the collet, the manufacturer could of made a one size fits all, but thats the way it is i guess, and much agree on chinese junk, there is no place for that crap in my shop, people think that they save big money buying import crap
