STANDOFF CUTTING
The preferred method of cutting metal thicker than 1/4″ (6 mm) and at current levels above 60 Amps. Provides maximum visibility and accessibility. Shield cup for ‘standoff’ cutting (with the torch tip 1/8″ (3 mm) to 1/4″ (6 mm) from the work piece). Use the shield cup body together with the deflector for extended parts life and improved resistance to reflect heat. This combination provides cutting results similar to the single piece shield cup, as well as easy changeover to gouging or drag shield cutting.
