CS96501 - Thermal Dynamics 9-6501 40A Drag Tip, 0.031 Orifice

Precision 40A Drag Cutting Tip

The Thermal Dynamics 9-6501 Drag Tip is a critical consumable for operators using the industry-standard 1Torch system (SL60 and SL100). Engineered with a precise 0.031-inch orifice, this tip is specifically calibrated for 40 Amp output, making it the ideal choice for cutting thin-to-medium gauge metals with exceptional accuracy. Unlike standoff tips that require the operator to maintain a specific distance from the plate, this drag tip is designed to be placed directly in contact with the workpiece. This feature greatly reduces operator fatigue and allows for the use of straight edges or templates to guide the cut, ensuring professional-level results even for less experienced users.

Manufactured to strict tolerances, this genuine Thermal Dynamics part ensures consistent arc stability and gas flow. The high-grade copper construction provides superior thermal conductivity, helping to dissipate the intense heat generated during the plasma process and extending the lifespan of the consumable. When paired with the correct start cartridge and electrode, the 9-6501 tip delivers a constricted, high-density plasma arc that produces narrow kerfs and minimal dross, reducing the need for secondary grinding or cleanup.

Whether you are working in HVAC, automotive repair, or general light fabrication, maintaining fresh consumables is key to your plasma cutter's performance. A worn orifice can lead to a wandering arc, excessive dross, and bevelled cuts. By replacing your tips regularly with high-quality OEM parts like the 9-6501, you protect your torch head and ensure your Cutmaster or other 1Torch-equipped machine operates at peak efficiency.
