  Oxygen leaks at the collet nut of your Broco Cutter can occur if the cutting rod isn't properly seated against the neoprene washer, or if the collet washer is dirty, worn, damaged, or missing. To resolve this, try the following: 1. Loosen the collet nut slightly. 2. Firmly seat the rod and then re-tighten the collet nut. 3. If the leak continues, remove the collet nut, collet, and collet washer to clean or replace the collet washer. As a temporary fix, you can turn the washer over to expose the unworn face.

What to do if the cutting rod will not fit into the collet in the torch head of my Broco Prime-Cut Cutter?
- A
  Annette WhiteSep 12, 2025
  If the cutting rod won't fit into the collet of your Broco Cutter's torch head, it might be due to a few reasons. First, check that the collet is the correct size for the cutting rod you're using; if it's not, replace it with the right size. Also, the collet might be damaged, so remove it and check for burrs; if you find any, remove them and then replace the collet. Another solution is to remove the collet and use a slotted screwdriver to apply pressure in the collet slots to open up the collet. Then, replace the collet in the torch.
