The Thermal Dynamics 7-8911 Straight Line Cutting Guide is an essential accessory for industrial fabricators utilizing the Cutmaster series of plasma cutting systems. Designed specifically for use with SL60 and SL100 hand torches, this guide kit enables operators to achieve machine-like cut quality using a manual torch. By stabilizing the torch and maintaining a constant standoff distance, the 7-8911 significantly reduces edge bevel and dross accumulation, resulting in cleaner cuts that require less secondary processing.
This versatile tool is engineered for flexibility in the field. It supports vertical cuts, 90-degree cuts, and bevel cuts, making it adaptable to various joint preparation requirements. The kit includes a robust 4-foot (1.2m) standard rail equipped with heavy-duty magnets. These magnets allow for instant, secure mounting on ferrous materials, ensuring the guide stays in place even when working out of position. For non-magnetic materials such as aluminum or stainless steel, optional suction plates can be utilized, expanding the utility of the device across different substrates.
One of the primary technical advantages of the 7-8911 is its ability to maintain a consistent standoff height. In manual plasma cutting, variations in torch height are a leading cause of premature consumable failure and poor cut quality. This guide eliminates that variable, maximizing the lifespan of electrodes and nozzles. The system is entirely mechanical, requiring no power source, which simplifies setup in remote or construction site environments. The kit comes complete with the rail, torch holder, bushing, magnets, and slide assembly wheels, providing everything needed to start cutting straight lines immediately.
