Hypertherm includes a starter consumable kit and a box of spare electrodes and nozzles with your system. Both styles of
hand torches shown above use the same consumables.
Hand torches use shielded consumables. Therefore, you can drag the torch tip along the metal.
Consumables for hand cutting are shown below. Notice that the retaining cap and electrode are the same for cutting,
gouging, and FineCut
®
applications. Only the shield, nozzle, and swirl ring are different.
For the best cut quality on thin materials (approximately 4 mm/10 GA or less), you may prefer to use FineCut
consumables, or use a 45 A nozzle and reduce the amperage to that setting.
