Torch Consumables
The illustration shows all consumable parts for this application.
Various front - end torch parts are available for different applications.
Use the single - piece shield cup for general purpose cutting operations with the torch tip in contact with the work (up
to 40 amps). This is the preferred method of cutting sheet metal up to 3/16" or 4.8 mm thick.
Also use the single - piece Shield Cup for 'standoff' cutting (with the torch tip 1/8" to 1/4" from the workpiece). This
is the preferred method for cutting metal thicker than 3/16" / 4.8 mm and at current levels above 40 amps. This
provides maximum visibility and accessibility.
Use the Shield Cup Body with the Deflector Shield Cap for improved resistance to reflected heat. This combination
provides cutting results similar to the single-piece Shield Cup, as well as easy change-over to gouging or drag shield
cutting.
Use the Shield Cup Body with the Drag Shield Cap for a consistent standoff distance with the drag shield in contact
with the workpiece. This is a simple and operator-friendly method of cutting between 50 and 100 amps.
The Standoff Guide fits both shield cup designs for this torch. The Guide allows the user to easily adjust and maintain
a consistent standoff height for most applications.
The start cartridge will not work for other applications.
Use only Genuine Thermal Dynamics consumables with this torch. The use of any other consumables may irreparably
damage the torch and/or void the warranty.
