Tapered Adapters
The Tapered Adapter is designed for use with threaded Chameleon Max-Life Electrodes or threaded Non-Piloting Nut Welding Electrodes. The Tapered Adapter allows the threaded electrodes to be used with a standard 5RW taper.
Due to the high forces of projection welding, standard tapers will wear out. The Tapered Adapter reduces tooling cost by allowing the taper to be replaced when it is worn, but the 10W face is still capable of making welds.
