770085 - Hobart Large Stainless Steel Oxy-Fuel Tip Cleaner Set (Sizes 49-75)

Maximize Gas Efficiency with Hobart Large Tip Cleaners

In the realm of industrial gas cutting and brazing, the condition of your equipment dictates the quality of your output. The Hobart 770085 File Tip Cleaners (Size Large) are an essential maintenance tool designed to ensure your oxy-fuel apparatus operates at peak efficiency. Over time, the combustion process inevitably leaves behind carbon deposits, slag, and spatter that can obstruct the gas orifices of cutting and brazing tips. These obstructions lead to turbulent gas flow, distorted flame shapes, and inefficient heat transfer, ultimately compromising the integrity of the cut or weld. This professional-grade set provides the precise instrumentation needed to clear these blockages without damaging the delicate geometry of the tip.

The set is meticulously engineered with 12 stainless steel wire files, graduated in size from 49 to 75. This specific range is tailored for larger orifice tips often found in heavy-duty industrial cutting applications. Unlike standard steel cleaners which may corrode or snap under pressure, Hobart’s stainless steel construction offers superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance. This ensures that the files remain effective over long-term use in harsh workshop environments. The files are designed to gently ream out debris, restoring the laminar flow of oxygen and fuel gas required for a neutral, oxidizing, or carburizing flame as needed.

Beyond the wire files, the kit includes a specialized flat tip file. This component is critical for dressing the face of the tip. When a tip face becomes pitted or uneven due to heat and spatter, it can cause the preheat flames to burn unevenly. The flat file allows the operator to resurface the tip face, ensuring it is perfectly flat and perpendicular to the gas flow. All these components are housed in a robust aluminum case, which not only organizes the files by size but also protects them from being bent or damaged in a toolbox. For professionals who demand precision and safety in their gas operations, the Hobart 770085 is a mandatory addition to their maintenance arsenal.
