OVERVIEW

Product Overview

The Thermal Dynamics 7-5680 is the replacement Torch Handle Assembly for the innovative SL60QD 1-Torch system. This component represents a significant shift in plasma torch design, addressing one of the most common pain points in the industry: the necessity to replace an entire torch and lead assembly when only the head or handle is damaged. The SL60QD (Quick Disconnect) places a connector directly at the base of the handle, allowing the torch body to be separated from the torch lead (SKU 7-5681).

Designed primarily for use with the Cutmaster 60i and compatible with other systems utilizing the 1-Torch platform (when equipped with the proper QD lead), this handle assembly maintains the high-performance standards of the classic SL60. It features the same ergonomic grip, trigger safety guard, and rugged durability that professional fabricators rely on. The assembly includes the torch head and the handle shell, ready to snap into the existing QD lead.

From a technical procurement perspective, stocking the 7-5680 allows for more efficient inventory management. Instead of keeping full torch assemblies on the shelf, MRO departments can stock leads and handles separately, deploying them only as needed. This unit is rated for 60 Amps and utilizes standard 1-Torch consumables, ensuring that no specialized nozzles or electrodes are required beyond the standard stock.
