The Thermal Dynamics 9-0091 is a specialized drag tip designed for use with the SL40 consumable torch platform. This component is critical for the operation of the plasma arc, serving as the nozzle that constricts the gas flow and focuses the plasma stream for cutting applications. Engineered to handle an amperage range of 20 to 35 Amps, this tip is the standard consumable for low-amperage precision cutting tasks often associated with the Cutmaster 42 and Cutmaster 12+ portable plasma cutting systems.
The tip features a specific orifice geometry tailored to the SL40 torch's gas dynamics, ensuring a stable and concentrated arc. As a "drag tip," it is constructed to allow the operator to drag the torch directly along the surface of the conductive material without extinguishing the arc or causing immediate damage to the nozzle face. This is achieved through the specific conductive properties and thermal mass of the tip design, which manages the heat transfer during contact cutting. The physical dimensions of the tip are approximately 0.43 x 0.43 x 0.75 inches, ensuring a compact profile for visibility and maneuverability in tight spaces.
Maintaining the integrity of the plasma tip is essential for cut quality. A worn orifice can lead to a beveled edge, excessive dross, or an unstable arc. The 9-0091 is manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure concentricity with the electrode, which is vital for maximizing the lifespan of both the tip and the electrode. This product is supplied in a package of five, providing operators with necessary spares to minimize downtime during fabrication or repair operations. It is strictly compatible with the SL40 torch and should not be used with higher amperage torches or incompatible power sources.
