OVERVIEW

Precision Plasma Cutting with Thermal Dynamics 9-1789

The Thermal Dynamics 9-1789 is a specialized long cutting tip designed to restore and maintain the performance of your legacy plasma cutting systems. Engineered with a precise 0.046-inch orifice, this consumable is critical for shaping the plasma arc into a focused, high-velocity stream capable of slicing through conductive metals with ease. The orifice size is specifically calibrated for amperage ranges typically found in the 35 to 40 Amp spectrum, making it an essential component for users of the Pak Master series plasma cutters.

One of the standout features of the 9-1789 is its "long" configuration. Unlike standard short tips, the extended length of this nozzle provides two distinct advantages. First, it physically extends the reach of the torch, allowing operators to cut in recessed areas, corners, or around obstacles that would otherwise be inaccessible with a standard setup. Second, the extended profile improves the operator's line of sight to the arc, facilitating more precise manual cutting and better tracing of templates or lines. This makes it a preferred choice for intricate fabrication work or automotive repair where visibility is paramount.

Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, this tip is built to withstand the intense thermal shock and heat generated during the plasma process. Proper heat dissipation is vital to preventing premature wear and ensuring the longevity of both the tip and the electrode. When the orifice of a plasma tip becomes worn or out-of-round, the arc quality deteriorates, leading to excessive dross, beveled cuts, and reduced cutting speeds. Replacing your consumables regularly with the 9-1789 ensures that your PCH-25, PCH-26, PCH-38, or PCH-40 torch continues to deliver the clean, square cuts that Thermal Dynamics systems are known for.

This product is compatible with a range of classic Thermal Dynamics torches, specifically those found on the Pak Master 25, 38, and 50 machines. It serves as a direct replacement part, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable electrical contact within the torch head. Whether you are working on mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, maintaining a fresh cutting tip is the simplest way to guarantee optimal cut quality and system efficiency.

FAQ

The 9-1789 tip is compatible with Thermal Dynamics PCH-25, PCH-26, PCH-38, and PCH-40 plasma torches, commonly found on Pak Master systems.

This tip has an orifice size of 0.046 inches.

A long tip extends the reach of the torch and improves visibility of the cutting arc, which is helpful for precision work or reaching into tight spaces.

The 0.046 orifice is typically designed for cutting currents in the range of 35 to 40 Amps.

You should replace the tip when the orifice becomes irregular, oval-shaped, or covered in dross, which causes poor cut quality and beveling.

While some long tips can be used for drag cutting at lower amperages, always check your specific torch manual. Generally, long tips are used for better visibility during standoff cutting.

No, this is the cutting tip only. Electrodes are sold separately and should be inspected/replaced at the same time as the tip.

It is manufactured from a high-quality copper alloy to withstand high temperatures and conduct electricity efficiently.
