9-8226 - Thermal Dynamics 9-8226 SL60/SL100 Plasma Gouging Tip B (5-Pack)

Precision Plasma Gouging with Thermal Dynamics Tip B

The Thermal Dynamics 9-8226 Gouging Tip B is a specialized consumable designed for the SL60 and SL100 1Torch plasma systems. Engineered for industrial environments where precision metal removal is critical, this tip allows operators to perform controlled gouging operations with a current range of 50 to 100 Amps. Unlike standard cutting tips that sever metal completely, the Tip B is formulated to create a deep and narrow gouge profile. This specific profile is essential for applications requiring the removal of deep weld defects or the preparation of tight joints without removing excessive surrounding material.

Compatibility is a key strength of the 9-8226 tip. It is fully compatible with a wide array of Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster plasma cutters, including the Cutmaster 52, 81, 82, 101, 102, 151, and 152. This versatility ensures that fabrication shops using multiple Cutmaster machines can standardize their gouging consumables. The tip operates effectively by angling the torch to a lead angle of approximately 35-45 degrees. By maintaining a constant standoff distance, the plasma arc partially penetrates the workpiece, effectively washing away molten metal from the surface. The amount of material removed is directly controlled by the current setting, travel speed, and the specific size of the tip.

This package contains five (5) genuine Thermal Dynamics gouging tips, ensuring that operators have sufficient stock for extended projects. The tips are manufactured to high tolerances to ensure consistent arc stability and longevity. When setting up the torch for gouging, these tips can be used in conjunction with a Shield Cup Body and either a Gouging Shield Cap or a Shield Deflector. Alternatively, they are compatible with single-piece Shield Cups, offering flexibility based on the operator's preferred setup and the specific accessibility requirements of the workpiece. Whether for maintenance, repair, or fabrication, the Tip B provides the control needed for high-quality gouging results.
