KP2843-10 - Lincoln Electric LC40/LC65 Drag Spacer Kit (2-Pack)

Precision Standoff for Consistent Plasma Cutting

The Lincoln Electric KP2843-10 Drag Spacer is a critical consumable designed to enhance the performance and ease of use of the LC40 and LC65 plasma torches. Sold in a convenient pack of two, these spacers are engineered to maintain a precise standoff distance between the torch tip and the workpiece. This fixed distance is vital for maintaining a stable plasma arc, ensuring optimal cut quality, and prolonging the life of the nozzle and electrode by preventing direct contact with the molten pool.

Specifically manufactured for the Tomahawk 625, Tomahawk 1000, and Tomahawk 45 plasma cutting systems, this genuine Lincoln Electric part allows operators to utilize the "drag cutting" technique. By resting the spacer directly on the metal surface, the operator can move the torch smoothly without the fatigue associated with manually holding the torch at a hovering height. This feature is particularly beneficial for long cuts, following templates, or utilizing straight edges for precision fabrication.

Technical Compatibility and Performance

The KP2843-10 is constructed to withstand the high thermal environment of plasma cutting and gouging. It is compatible with a wide range of conductive materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. By ensuring the correct arc length is maintained, the spacer helps reduce the likelihood of pilot arc sputtering and improves the cleanliness of the kerf. For industrial MRO environments where equipment reliability is paramount, using genuine OEM consumables like the KP2843-10 ensures that your Lincoln Electric equipment operates within its specified parameters.

Whether performing maintenance repairs, automotive fabrication, or general construction tasks, the inclusion of a drag spacer in your plasma torch setup significantly reduces the skill threshold required to achieve professional-grade cuts. This pack ensures you have a replacement on hand to minimize downtime during critical operations.
