A complete set of shielded consumables is shipped with the T45m machine torch. In addition, an ohmic sensing
retaining cap is available for use with the T45m shielded consumables. Unshielded consumables and the T30v
(Powermax30) 30 A consumables are also available for use with the T45m.
Using the cut charts
The following sections provide illustrations of the consumable sets and cut charts for each set. Maximum cut speeds are
the fastest speeds possible to cut material without regard to cut quality. Recommended cut speeds are a good starting
point for finding the best quality cut (best angle, least dross, and best cut surface finish). You will need to adjust the
speeds for your application and your table to obtain the desired cut quality.
When cutting thin metal (3 mm/10 Ga or thinner), you may achieve a higher cut quality by using the T30v (Powermax30)
30 A consumables and cut charts.
