Consumable life
How often you need to change the consumables on your torch will depend on a number of factors:
The thickness of the metal being cut.
The average length of the cut.
The air quality (presence of oil, moisture, or other contaminants).
Whether you are piercing the metal or starting cuts from the edge.
Proper torch-to-work distance when gouging.
Proper pierce height.
Whether you are cutting in “continuous pilot arc” mode or normal mode. Cutting with a continuous pilot arc causes
more consumable wear.
Under normal conditions, the nozzle will wear out first when hand cutting. As general rule, a set of consumables lasts
approximately 1 to 3 hours of actual “arc on” time for 105 – 125 A hand cutting. Cutting at lower amperages may yield
longer consumable life. You will find more information about proper cutting techniques in
