Q - When does it make sense to choose a 15� or 75� handheld torch?
A - 75� torches are considered the "jack of all trades" for plasma cutting. They can easily handle most cutting jobs. 15� torches are nearly straight, making them a better choice for gouging and cutting in corners, where a 75� torch may be obstructed.
Q - Which consumables work with the Hypertherm SmartSYNC handheld torch?
A - SmartSYNC handheld torches work with yellow drag cutting and FineCut cartridges, green max removal and max control gouging cartridges, and black FlushCut cartridges. Powermax 65/85/105 SYNC machines work with cartridges up to 65 A, 85 A and 105 A, respectively.
