Plasma Cutting Consumables

Plasma cutting consumables are a set of components in a plasma cutter. Understanding the function of each consumable will help maximize productivity, reduce operating costs, and achieve optimal cut quality. Metmac offers a wide variety of plasma cutting consumables to keep your plasma cut quality precise and controlled. Our plasma cutting consumables are a great choice in terms of affordability, warranty, and reliability. Metmac plasma cutting consumables are made of the finest materials which ensure they last much longer.

The plasma cutting nozzles focus the plasma arc and the gas surrounding them for clean and precise cuts. They compress the plasma gas, increasing its velocity. Plasma cutting nozzles with a larger opening are used for gouging, while plasma cutting nozzles with a smaller opening are better able to direct the gas and so are used for fine, detailed work.

1. Be sure to match the consumables to the application. Never use low-amperage consumables for high-amperage cutting or vice versa.

2. When using unshielded consumables, always keep them at the proper distance from the workpiece when performing a cut.

3. Remember to cut at the appropriate speed. Cutting too fast will result in an incomplete cut. Cutting too slowly will put unnecessary strain on the plasma cutting consumables, causing them to burn out quickly.
