PowerWeld PW1550 TIG Finger Feeder

The PowerWeld PW1550 TIG Finger Feeder is a compact hand tool that gives TIG welders smooth, controlled filler rod delivery without changing their normal torch grip. Shaped to be held like a pen or pencil, this TIG finger feeder allows the operator to feed wire with the tip of the index finger instead of sliding rod by hand. The filler wire is inserted from the rear of the feeder, then advanced by rolling the rubber drive wheel forward with a light fingertip motion. This keeps the welder’s hand further from the arc and puddle, while still allowing precise control of filler placement on thin sheet, tubing, and small joints.

Designed for common TIG processes, the PW1550 accepts TIG filler rod diameters from .030″ (0.8 mm) up to 1/8″ (3.2 mm). The metal body is slim and balanced so it feels natural in the hand, even during long passes or out-of-position welds. By stabilizing the filler rod and reducing finger travel, the feeder helps maintain a steady arc length and consistent torch angle. This is especially helpful on stainless, titanium, and aluminum work where small changes in heat input can show immediately in the finished bead. For TIG welders who focus on precision work and repeatable technique, the PW1550 offers a simple way to improve comfort and control at the puddle.

PowerWeld TIG Finger Feeder At a Glance

• Pen-Style TIG Filler Feeder: Hold it like a pencil for natural hand positioning during TIG welding.
• Index Finger Wire Advance: Roll the rubber wheel with your index finger to feed filler smoothly.
• Rear-Loading Wire Design: Insert TIG filler rod from the back of the tool for better control and safety.
• Wide Wire Size Range: Suitable for TIG wire diameters from .030″ (0.8 mm) to 1/8″ (3.2 mm).
• Improves Puddle Access: Helps keep hands further from the arc and hot workpiece.
• Supports Consistent Technique: Stabilizes filler rod feed for cleaner, more uniform beads.
• Compact, Lightweight Body: Easy to handle for fine work and out-of-position welding.
• Ideal for Precision TIG Work: Useful on stainless, aluminum, chromoly, and thin-gauge materials.

Markets

• Precision Fabrication and Manufacturing Used for TIG welding small components, brackets, and thin sheet where bead appearance matters.
• Aerospace and High-Spec Welding Helps maintain consistent filler control on critical stainless and titanium joints.
• Automotive and Motorsport Fabrication Supports roll cage, chassis, and aluminum panel TIG welding with stable filler feed.
• Pipe and Tube Welding Shops Assists with fine control on thin-wall tube, sanitary piping, and high-finish welds.
• Municipal and Facility Maintenance Useful for repair TIG welding on stainless, aluminum, and specialty alloys.
• Trade Schools and Welding Training Centers Teaches students steady filler rod delivery and proper TIG technique.
• Custom Metalwork and Small Shops Gives fabricators a practical tool for detailed TIG welding projects.

Technicians and fabricators in these markets use the PW1550 when they want to improve comfort and control without changing their TIG welding process. On production lines and in precision fabrication, consistent filler rod feed cuts down on underfill, overbuild, and inconsistent bead profiles that can slow inspection or cause rework. Automotive and motorsport builders value the ability to maintain a steady puddle on roll cages, intake components, and thin aluminum pieces where hand feeding can be jerky. Training centers appreciate that students can focus on torch control and travel speed while the finger feeder helps smooth out their wire movement. For maintenance welders and small job shops, this TIG finger feeder offers an easy way to handle small-diameter filler rod on delicate repairs and specialty alloys, leading to cleaner, more repeatable TIG welds.

Why Welders Choose the PowerWeld TIG Finger Feeder

TIG welders choose the PowerWeld PW1550 because it makes filler rod control feel more like writing than juggling wire. By feeding the TIG filler rod with the index finger through the rubber wheel, operators can keep a consistent distance from the puddle and maintain a steady torch angle, which supports cleaner, more uniform beads. The tool handles common TIG rod sizes from .030″ to 1/8″, so one feeder works for a wide range of stainless, aluminum, and carbon steel jobs. On thin sheet, small tube, and detailed work, the smoother feed helps prevent sudden jumps in filler that can disturb the puddle or leave visible flaws. In shops and schools where technique and appearance matter, the PW1550 TIG finger feeder offers a straightforward way to improve comfort and control without changing the basic TIG welding setup.
