    Tomahawk 1538 LC105 Consumables FAQs

    Plain answers on the front-end wear parts of a hand-held air plasma torch: what each one does, how to tell it is worn and how to order the right ones.

    What parts make up the front end of a plasma torch and what does each do?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Most hand-held air plasma torches use a stack of consumables. The electrode carries the current and is the starting point of the arc. The nozzle shapes, directs and squeezes the arc into a narrow jet. The gas distributor or swirl ring spins the gas around the electrode to centre the arc. The shield protects and cools the nozzle from molten spatter, and the retaining cap holds the stack on the torch head.

    Exact names, numbers of parts and the order they fit vary, so follow the torch manual or parts diagram for your torch.

    How can I tell when the electrode or nozzle is worn?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The electrode has a small insert in its tip, and as it is used the insert erodes and forms a pit. The maker's manual gives the pit depth at which to change it, and the limit differs between torches, so do not rely on a number from elsewhere or on a set number of hours.

    A nozzle should have a round orifice with sharp edges. Change it if the orifice is nicked, oval or has rounded edges. A worn nozzle also shows in the cut: a wider kerf, a bevel on the edge, and a bevel that changes from one side to the other, which usually points to a failed nozzle.

    What are extended-reach consumables and when are they used?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Extended-reach consumables are longer versions of the front-end parts. They let a hand torch reach channels, corners, close edges, flanges and other tight spots where a standard front end will not fit, and they are often used for gouging welds on awkwardly shaped parts.

    They are designed for particular torches and systems, so only fit the extended set that your manual lists for your torch, and do not mix extended and standard parts unless the manual says you may. Ask our team to check against the data plate and old part numbers if you are unsure.

    What is the difference between a drag shield and a spacer or standoff guide?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A drag shield lets you rest the torch lightly on the metal and drag it along the cut, which protects and cools the nozzle and helps you keep a steady height by hand. A spacer or standoff guide is a separate fitting that holds the nozzle a set distance off the plate, for cutting without resting on the work.

    The shield's centre hole and vent holes matter: a damaged orifice or blocked vent holes cause problems and the part should be replaced. A cracked or bent spacer should also be replaced. Both are torch-specific, so check the manual for which fits.
