    Tomahawk 1025 LC65 Consumables FAQs

    Torch consumables for a hand-held plasma cutter: what each part does, how to spot wear and how to get the most from a set.

    What parts make up a plasma torch consumable set?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A typical set has an electrode, a nozzle (the tip), and a shield cap, and some torches also use a swirl ring, a retaining cap and a spacer or drag guide. The electrode carries current and starts the arc, the nozzle focuses the arc and gas, and the shield cap protects the torch from sparks and molten metal. A swirl ring spins the gas, and the retaining cap holds the stack together.

    Designs vary, so check the parts diagram in your manual for exactly which pieces your torch uses before ordering.

    How do I know the nozzle needs replacing?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Look at the hole in the tip. It should be a clean, round opening with sharp edges. Replace the nozzle if the hole is enlarged, nicked, no longer round, eroded, or if gas holes are blocked or the sealing rings are damaged. Symptoms during cutting include a wider kerf, more dross and an arc that wanders or cuts at an angle.

    If cut quality is poor and you cannot find the cause, check the nozzle orifice along with the electrode, swirl ring and air supply. Replacing the nozzle with the electrode is normally the right move.

    What does the shield cap do, and can I clean it?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The shield cap sits at the front of the torch and takes the sparks and molten metal thrown back from the cut, protecting the parts behind it. Over time, spatter builds up on it and can disturb airflow.

    If the cap is undamaged, molten metal can be carefully removed. Replace it if it shows erosion, cracks, melted surfaces or damaged sealing rings, or if build-up cannot be removed. Use suitable cleaning tools, as the wrong ones can scratch or damage the part. Make sure the torch is isolated and cool before handling any part.

    What is the difference between drag cutting and cutting with a spacer?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Some torches are designed so the front of the torch can rest on the plate and be dragged along the cut. Others need a fixed gap between nozzle and work, which a spacer or standoff guide helps you keep. A drag shield cap sits over the nozzle, so a nozzle must still be fitted beneath it.

    Which style you use depends on the torch design and the current setting, so follow your manual. Do not mix parts from different styles. If you are unsure which one suits your torch, check the data plate and manual, or ask our team.
