Description

The Curious Gem has the selected the Helix as its micro-welder of choice: we love its easy set-up, ease of use, reliability, value for money and 3-year warranty.

The Helix is a professional-grade pulse arc welder (also known as a micro TIG welder) designed for permanent jewellery artists, jewellers and designers. Developed through extensive field testing, the Helix is engineered to handle a significant number of welds within the highest power parameters, demonstrating robustness that far exceeds industry standards. Its compact size means it is very portable and does not take up too much bench space.

It is not just for the permanent jewellery artist! Jewellers will love the ease of repairing chain links, closing jump rings, tacking components together prior to soldering and many more applications. A smart investment if a lot of your work involves small-scale soldering as it will greatly speed up your production time.

Related tools, accessories, chain, charms and jump rings can be found here. We recommend the Auto Darkening Screen with Magnification as a useful accessory for this product (sold separately).

The Helix Permanent Jewellery Welder

The Helix features a robust set of functions creating the perfect weld every time. A 1mm tungsten electrode protrudes from the ergonomic stylus, machined from solid billet aluminium and connected to the pulse-arc weld body via a flexible hose while maintaining enough durability for an easy flow of argon to protect against oxidation.

Do I need to use argon with the Helix welder?

The Helix contains an on-demand argon flow feature which only releases a pre-determined amount of argon through the tip of the welding stylus when needed. This feature prevents argon from leaking, eliminating waste. Thanks to an innovative solenoid, the argon tube flows from the argon regulator at a constant rate with very little turbulence, for pinpoint accuracy when in use. While argon can help to deliver a better environment for the weld quality, it is not necessary, although we would recommend it. The Helix can work without argon - and it is ready to accept argon if you chose to add this later on.

We do not supply argon but there are many specialist companies in the UK who do. The tubing to connect the welder to the regulator is supplied with the welder. You will need a tank and a regulator with a 1/4 inch BSP thread to 1/8 inch hose tail. Please contact us if you require any help or advice with your set up.

Recommended power settings

The Helix is our jewellery welder of choice and the machine we use at work when closing jump rings on the necklaces we make in-house. Based on her experience, our expert welder, Daisy, has put together a table of the different power settings she uses when welding different thicknesses and types of metals, which we hope will be useful (some of these differ from the manufacturer recommended settings).
