I know there are other threads about the consumables but im still clueless as to which ones to get.
I’m brand new to this and havent made any cuts yet.
I’m mostly going to be working with 3/16 mild steel.
I bought a 60 gallon air compressor and a water trap and all that goodness.
So i was looking for some help on how to get started and which consumables I should get.
I can’t find where to get the right kerf setting and all the other settings.
Thanks for any help, I will greatly appreciate it.
As far as getting the RIGHT consumables, that will all depend on what torch you have. There is a bit of confusion on torch’s that come on the Razorweld 45.
Just wanted to give a shout out to mechanic416, I ordered consumbables from his ebay store last Thursday or Friday(Oct.3/4) and got them today(Oct. 7). Quick shipping and everything looks exactly like I expected.
I’m still not sure if I’d be better off ordering some hypertherm consumables or just sticking with the oem stuff. I can’t complain about the originals, they are still going strong even with my less than optimal moisture control.
If you are going to use the powermax 45 ( the 45XP don’t fit ) consumables you really need to buy them all to get the best out of them. this means electrodes, nozzles/tips, swirl ring, retaining cup and shield. DO NOT mix them with the ones on the torch or the original TECMO consumables. Mixing consumables can cause all kinds of cutting problems.
That ebay link above says the retaining cup they sell isn’t compatible with the J45H torch (2nd Gen Razorweld Cut 45 - CNC). Does anyone know if combining the ebay listing (sans retaining cap) consumables with the retaining cap that langmuir sells will make a complete set? Does the retaining cap get consumed?
Related but perhaps a bit of a different topic, should I have differently sized consumables for the J45H torch for different power settings? I’m wanting to cut some 1/2" steel and from the cut charts I’ve found for folks using S45 tips they recommend different sizes for different power settings but it looks like the J45H consumables are already rated to 45A?
The consumables from the ebay add will work, but the retaining cup will not. No there is no other size cutting tip for the J45H torch, only one size for all your cutting.
Search amazon and ebay. There are a lot of Chinese sellers that have them, the torch’s are all chinese.
I am guessing that Razorweld wants to sell plasma cutters and the torch’s they were using they can’t get because of the virus lock downs. So they are getting what ever torch’s they can get from every were in China that will make them or has them.
This is going to make buyers have to search for consumables or get them from Razorweld if they even have them.
Also Razorweld has used 6 different torch’s on their plasma cutters in the last 3 years and 4 in the last 5 months.
Try these…
They are cheaper, but fit the RW45x torch. There is a selection button on the Ebay page to see tips, shields, retainer cap(which does fit by the way), drag shield, swirl ring, electrodes. Price make replacing them every couple of jobs affordable. I get 2500 pierces out of a set. And had a crash that bent the retainer. the spare I bought on ebay fit perfect.
Has anyone wired a Vipercut 30 to the Crossfire Pro? I was told by Langmuir that the Vipercut 30 would work with the table (I have one already and love it).
