Torch Consumables
The illustrations show all consumable parts for the SL60
and SL100 torches.
Various front - end torch parts are available for different
applications.
Drag Tip Cutting: 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 pre-
ferred method of cutting sheet metal up to 3/16" or 4.8 mm
thick.
Standoff Cutting: 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
extended parts life and 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.
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.
Gouging: Use the Shield Cup Body with the Gouging
Shield Cap for excellent gouging performance and en-
hanced torch parts life.
The Standoff Guide fits all shield cup designs for the SL60
and SL100 RPT hand torches. The Guide allows the user
to easily adjust and maintain a consistent standoff height
for most applications. The Standoff Guide also fits Ther-
mal Dynamics PCH-62 and PCH-102 hand torches.
The electrode and starter cartridge are the same for all
applications.
Use only Genuine Thermal Dynamics consumables with
this torch. The use of any other consumables may irrepa-
rably damage the torch and/or void the warranty.
