New Options for Plasma Cutting Consumables - Kevin Caron

#plasmacuttingtips #plasmacuttertips #KevinCaronArt

Kevin Caron is checking out some new high quality Italian consumables from George at George's Plasma Cutter Shop.

Kevin Caron shows an IPT-60 plasma cutter torch - "IPT-60" is what you usually search for when you're looking for consumables. Next he shows a gouging tip with a removable end. The nozzle is centered inside the cap so the metal is not touching. That allows you to touch metal with the tip without shorting out the torch like a regular cutting tip would.

He has 2 nozzle sizes: 40 amp and 60 amp. Kevin Caron shows the difference in the sizes of the holes in the end of the nozzles, which affects the amperage and air pressure you'll run.

The other nozzle - a type Kevin Caron has never seen before - is a long reach drag cap. Again, the metal is insulated inside the cap. So when you're dragging the plasma cutting tip across the metal you're cutting you're not shorting out the machine. Of course, with a longer nozzle, you also now have a longer electrode to go inside of it.

Enough talking! Kevin Caron is ready to gouge and cut something! He starts with the gouging tip.

Kevin Caron is running the Everlast PowerPlasma 62i with the IPT-60 torch and the 40 amp electrode.

Kevin Caron turns the amperage down to 40. The air pressure is at 63 PSI, but when he pulls the trigger on the gun the pressure drops to 59. Kevin Caron turns up the air pressure a bit, grabs some safety glasses and gloves, and says, "Let's make some sparks!"

He shows the results of the gouging, a nice channel in the 1/2" steel.

Kevin Caron then switches to the long drag tip, remembering to change the gouging electrode to a long electrode for cutting. Otherwise, it's the same setup: the Everlast PowerPlasma 62i at 40 amps and 60 PSI. He has a piece of 1/8" cold rolled steel and freehands some squiggles in the metal. Says Kevin Caron: "That was fun!"

So if you have a plasma cutter that is set up for gouging, and you have an IPT-60 torch on it, these Italian tips will work for you for gouging.

If you're just doing regular handheld plasma cutting, the long drag tip is great.

I sure hope George carries this for my torch, I'm going to check this out. Thank you!

[f]

Thank you for the wonderful beautiful effort.. in providing the useful in a simple and understandable language

[DXT]

Ive heard these Tecmo tips George sells are much better than factory. Your video is the only one i could find showing the long tip. Thank you for sharing.

[jayzee]

The non-conductive tip is so smart! I hope it becomes standard place, like fuses. Cheers!

[simenscott]

I was wondering when they make a longer cap for the plasma cutters. Does your plasma cutter cap arc to the workpiece?😊

[Chad_N_Stacey_Hopson]

I have the everlast 60s (2019) Does it have the gouging function?? That you know of?? Thanks for the video brother....

[centerlinefabsolutions]

Thanks Kevin! Long time fan brother 🙏I have same everlast torch and was currently looking at local weld stores n no luck. I will definitely contact your guy.

[jonpardue]

That was new, have only cut with plasma. Looks like plasma gouging would be useful removing welds when upcycling metal for a project. Thank you.

I am so glad to have found your channel again apparently YouTube likes to unsubscribe people from channels I followed your channel for a very long time and then I just stopped seeing the videos in the feed list stumbled across one searching for something and found your channel again showed I wasn't subscribed but I know I was anyways I re-subscribe love your videos thank you for the great content!

[Midnight_Rider]

That cutting tip you show at the end, is it insulated as well? I'm used to hypertherm

[Wooddust]

I have been searching or these tips. I have the primeweld cut60 plasma which uses the same gun. And i couldn't find gouging tips for the life of me. I don't see links for ordering these tips where do we find them??? That's exactly what i have been looking for!

[johndeninger]

hey kevin, where can i buy these consumables

[johndeninger]

where is georges plasma cutter shop located

[nairoluiz]

Ta sumido kevin. As máquinas da everlast são boas. Eu gostei muito da power mts 252 sti ac/dc tig bivolt.

[CraftwerksMC]

Kevin, I am curious if you know if you can convert the cheaper chinese cut 50 type units to these different model of torch and consumables? I have a cut 50, it does OK but the torch is garbage and seems like swapping to these unit's would make it a better unit for normal use? Thanks sir and I appreciate all the content!

[speedbuggy]

I bought those tips and I can't get them to work in my Everlast 60.... WTF.. Doesn't seem to be complicated to change them, but apparently I've done something wrong...

[Jcreek]

I don’t fully understand how those drag tips work. Seems like as soon as you touch it your workpiece and ground it, the arc would want to jump the shorter distance to the drag tip rather than the the work piece.

New toys are fun, not even Christmas.

[Joemama]

so this is a paid promotion video, right?

[nathanmciver]

Lol! Real messed up! Like years ago! Looks like the guy in the last video was cutting without the trigger and then you can see thiers a red trigger on the plasma cutter within this video! Very aweful! Anyway! Awesome video
