General Information

The 1Torch
SL60 and SL100 Torches work with most
TM
plasma cutting power supplies. The Torches are equipped
with either O2B connectors or the Victor Thermal Dy-
namics ATC connector and are connected using various
Adapter Kits sold separately.
A label on the torch handle indicates the torch model
number. SL60 Torches provide cutting capabilities of up
to 60 amperes. SL100 Torches provide cutting capabilities
of up to 100 amperes. The torches use compressed air as
both the plasma and secondary gas.
The torches are suitable for drag cutting (with the torch tip
in contact with the workpiece, at up to 40 Amps output);
40-100 Amp shielded drag cutting (with shielded torch
parts (cap, etc.) in contact with the workpiece); standoff
cutting; or gouging.
