9-5709 - Thermal Dynamics 9-5709 Plasma Gouging Tip, 0.078 Orifice, Pack of 10

Precision Plasma Gouging with Thermal Dynamics

The Thermal Dynamics 9-5709 Gouging Tip is a specialized consumable designed to deliver superior performance in plasma gouging applications. Featuring a precise 0.078-inch orifice (often referred to as Size D), this tip is engineered to constrict the plasma arc effectively, creating a focused stream of ionized gas capable of melting and blowing away metal with accuracy. Unlike standard cutting tips, gouging tips are shaped to allow the operator to hold the torch at an angle, facilitating the removal of welds, preparation of plate edges, or correction of casting defects without severing the material completely.

Manufactured to Thermal Dynamics' rigorous standards, these tips are built from high-quality conductive materials that withstand the intense heat and pressure of the plasma process. Using genuine OEM consumables is critical for maintaining the longevity of your torch head and ensuring consistent results. Inferior third-party tips can lead to erratic arcs, poor gouge quality, and even damage to the torch body. This product comes in a pack of 10, ensuring that professional fabricators and welders have an ample supply on hand to maintain productivity throughout demanding projects.

Plasma gouging is often preferred over carbon arc gouging in many modern workshops due to its reduced noise, lower fume generation, and cleaner finish. The 9-5709 tip is specifically optimized to maximize these benefits, providing a smooth groove that often requires little to no secondary grinding. Whether you are working on mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, this gouging tip provides the control needed for delicate repairs or aggressive metal removal.

Key Benefits
