Torch Consumables
The illustrations show all consumable parts for the SL60
and SL100 torches.
Various front - end torch parts are available for differ-
ent 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
preferred 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
enhanced 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 Victor
Thermal Dynamics PCH-62 and PCH-102 hand torches.
The electrode and starter cartridge are the same for all
applications.
Use only Genuine Victor Thermal Dynamics consumables
with this torch. The use of any other consumables may
irreparably damage the torch and/or void the warranty.
