770796 - Hobart 770796 Replacement Tips for XT30R Torch (2-Pack)

Genuine Hobart 770796 Plasma Cutting Tips for XT30R Torches

The Hobart 770796 Plasma Cutting Tip is a critical consumable component designed specifically for the Hobart XT30R plasma torch. This package contains two (2) genuine OEM tips rated for 27 Amps, ensuring you have the necessary replacements to maintain the high-performance standards of your Hobart AirForce 27i plasma cutter. In plasma cutting systems, the tip (often referred to as the nozzle) plays a vital role in constricting the plasma arc. By focusing the energy of the ionized gas, the tip increases the energy density and velocity of the plasma stream, allowing it to cut through conductive metals like steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with precision and speed.

Using genuine Hobart consumables is essential for the longevity of your equipment. The 770796 tips are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure proper alignment with the electrode and swirl ring inside the XT30R torch. A misaligned or poorly manufactured aftermarket tip can lead to a distorted arc, excessive dross buildup, and even catastrophic failure of the torch head itself. These 27A tips are engineered to withstand the intense heat generated during the cutting process, utilizing high-grade copper alloys that facilitate rapid heat dissipation. This thermal management helps extend the life of the consumable, although all plasma tips will eventually wear out over time due to the erosion of the orifice.

Operators should regularly inspect the tip orifice for signs of wear. A perfectly round orifice produces a straight, clean cut. As the tip wears, the orifice may become oval-shaped or blown out, resulting in beveled cuts and reduced cutting speeds. Replacing the tip promptly when cut quality degrades is a standard maintenance procedure that ensures the AirForce 27i continues to operate at peak efficiency. This 2-pack ensures that you have a spare on hand, minimizing downtime during critical projects. Whether you are working on automotive restoration, light fabrication, or HVAC ductwork, these tips provide the consistency required for professional results.

Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools. Simply unscrew the retaining cup on the XT30R torch, remove the worn tip and electrode (checking the electrode for wear as well), and insert the new 770796 tip. Ensure all components are seated correctly before tightening the cup to prevent gas leaks and ensure proper electrical contact. These tips are strictly compatible with the AirForce 27i system and are not interchangeable with higher amperage consumables from other Hobart series.
