K2848-2 - Lincoln LC65 Handheld Plasma Torch 50ft for Tomahawk 1000

Technical Overview of the Lincoln Electric LC65 Plasma Torch

The Lincoln Electric LC65 Handheld Plasma Torch (K2848-2) is a high-performance replacement or upgrade component specifically engineered for the Tomahawk 1000 plasma cutting system. This assembly features a substantial 50-foot (15-meter) lead, significantly expanding the operational radius for the user and reducing the need to frequently reposition the power source in dynamic industrial environments. The torch is rated for an amperage range of 20 to 60 Amps, making it versatile for various material thicknesses and densities.

Designed with a 75-degree head angle, the LC65 prioritizes operator ergonomics and visibility, facilitating precise control during complex cutting or gouging operations. The unit utilizes air or nitrogen as the plasma gas, ensuring compatibility with standard shop setups. It is capable of delivering a clean cut on materials up to 1 inch thick and has a severance capacity of 1-1/4 inches. The torch construction is robust, built to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses associated with heavy-duty fabrication, maintenance, and repair tasks.

This package includes the complete torch assembly with leads and a starter set of expendable parts, ensuring immediate readiness for operation upon installation. The connection interface is designed for seamless integration with the Tomahawk 1000, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and gas flow. By utilizing genuine Lincoln Electric components, operators ensure the longevity of their equipment and maintain compliance with the manufacturer's performance standards.

Material Compatibility and Applications

The LC65 is optimized for processing a wide array of conductive metals. It effectively cuts and gouges mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. This versatility makes it an essential tool for diverse sectors, including automotive repair, general fabrication, marine construction, and field erection. The extended lead length is particularly beneficial in shipyards or large construction sites where accessibility is a critical factor.
