Fine cut swirl ring?

Post by OTHill »

Just noticed at my welding supplier that there was a swirl ring for fine cut. My manual doesn't show it and I've never heard of it before. I wonder how long its been out?

All that I am aware of for the 45xp,65 and 85 is there is a swirl ring for finecut hand held and one for mechanized torches.

If you are cutting by hand and have occasional trouble with the arc ramping up when edge starting, then that is what the FineCut swirl ring is for. For all other applications with the 45xp, 65, 85 and 105 Powermax units use the 220857 swirl ring. Jim Colt (41 years at Hyperherm)
