Weldfast MMA1215 Rotary Earth Clamp 600Amp
Swivel Welding Earth Clamp
A rotating earth clamp for welding, rated up to 600A. A rotating earth clamp allows the connection to turn without tangling of the earth cable. Perfect for use when rotating the work piece to maintain a reliable earth connection. The device eliminates earth lead twisting, tangling and unnecessary wear.
The earth lead is attached to the clamp with grub screws, clamping onto the copper strands of the cable.
Can be used for MIG, TIG or Stick welding.
A lot of welding related issues can be traced back to a bad earth, so its always worthwhile checking condition and replacing if required. The earth clamp and welding leads should be suitably rated to the machine being used. If too much current passes through the lead, it will get hot, can get damaged and could be a fire risk.
