- Trigger lockout switch helps prevent accidental firing.
- Torch disable switch feature allows faster, easier changeout of consumables.
Torch information
Applications
Drag cutting
For dragging the torch directly across the work piece
Extended reach cutting
For improved visibility and accessibility when cutting in confined spaces
Extended reach gouging
For improved visibility and accessibility when gouging in confined spaces
Fine feature cutting
For narrow kerf width with minimal dross and heat affected zone
Flush cutting
For cutting closer to base materials using a 45 degree
Marking
For scoring, indicating part identification, hole or weld locations
Max control gouging
For precise metal removal, shallower gouge profiles and light metal washing
Max removal gouging
For aggressive metal removal, deep gouge profiles, and extreme metal washing
Mechanized cutting
For portable automation and table cutting
Precision gouging
For spot and tack weld removal at very low output current (<25 A)
Benefits
More reliable arc-starting
SpringStart™ electrode technology eliminates moving parts in the torch for more reliable arc-starting.
For hand cutting and gouging jobs
Duramax® Lock 75° and 15° hand torches are well suited for a variety of applications such as gouging, fine feature cutting, extended reach cutting, and flush cutting. The ergonomic design of the 75° torch is perfect for normal cutting, while the 15° torch directs heat away from the operator during heavy gouging and enables cutting overhead or in hard-to-reach areas.
For machine jobs
Duramax Lock full-length machine torch can be used with a wide variety of CNC cutting tables, track cutters, and pipe-cutters.
