OVERVIEW

Restore Your Hobart Airforce 12ci with Genuine OEM Parts

The Miller 273028 Cover Assembly is the authentic replacement housing designed specifically for the Hobart Airforce 12ci plasma cutter. In the demanding environment of a metal fabrication shop, welding garage, or industrial site, your equipment is constantly exposed to hazards. From flying sparks and grinding dust to accidental impacts, the outer shell of your plasma cutter serves as the first line of defense for the sensitive internal electronics. Over time, this cover can become dented, cracked, or damaged, compromising the safety and longevity of your machine. Replacing a damaged cover is not just about aesthetics; it is a critical maintenance step to ensure your Airforce 12ci continues to operate safely and efficiently.

This cover assembly is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original part, ensuring a seamless fit without the need for modification. Because the Hobart Airforce 12ci features a built-in air compressor and compact design, the internal arrangement of components is precise. The OEM cover ensures that airflow channels remain unobstructed, allowing the cooling fan to effectively regulate the temperature of the inverter and compressor during operation. Using a genuine Miller/Hobart part guarantees that all screw holes align perfectly and that the handle and torch connections fit as intended.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of keeping your tools in prime condition. A cracked case can expose high-voltage components, posing a significant shock hazard to the operator. Furthermore, gaps in the housing can allow conductive metal dust to accumulate on circuit boards, leading to short circuits and expensive failures. By installing the Miller 273028 Cover Assembly, you are protecting your investment and ensuring that your Hobart Airforce 12ci remains a reliable workhorse for years to come. This part is essential for anyone looking to refurbish an older unit or repair accidental damage incurred during transport or use.
