9-8260 - Thermal Dynamics SL60/SL100 90-Degree Replacement Torch Head

Genuine Thermal Dynamics 9-8260 Torch Head

The Thermal Dynamics 9-8260 is a specialized replacement torch head designed for the industry-leading SL60 and SL100 1Torch plasma cutting systems. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication, this component serves as the core connection point for your plasma consumables, ensuring proper gas distribution and electrical conductivity. Unlike standard 75-degree heads, this unit features a 90-degree angle, providing a unique ergonomic profile that may be preferred for specific cutting positions or tight-access applications where a right-angle approach is necessary.

Manufactured from high-grade, heat-resistant materials, the 9-8260 torch head is built to withstand the intense thermal cycling and mechanical stress associated with plasma gouging and cutting. It is fully compatible with the Thermal Dynamics 1Torch platform, which is standard on many Cutmaster series machines and available as a retrofit for others. The head includes precision-molded threads for the retaining cap and shield cup, ensuring that consumables remain concentric and secure during operation. This concentricity is vital for maintaining a focused plasma arc and achieving clean, dross-free cuts.

Replacing a damaged torch head is critical for operator safety and equipment longevity. A compromised head can lead to gas leaks, arcing faults, or poor consumable life. By installing the genuine 9-8260, users ensure that their SL60 or SL100 torch operates within factory specifications. This part is sold as the head body only; handles, leads, and consumables are sold separately. It is an essential spare part for maintenance departments and fabrication shops relying on Cutmaster plasma systems for daily production.
