36635 - ESAB PT-31 Plasma Torch Standoff Guide / Skid Clip

Maximize Precision with the ESAB 36635 Skid Clip

Upgrade your plasma cutting experience with the ESAB 36635 Clip Skid, the perfect companion for your PT-31 or PT-31XL plasma torch. Whether you are a hobbyist working on automotive restoration or a professional welder in a fabrication shop, maintaining the right distance between your torch and the metal is the secret to a perfect cut. This handy wire standoff guide takes the guesswork out of height management, allowing you to focus on your travel speed and line following.

The skid clip functions as a spacer that physically rests on the metal plate. This means you can "drag" the torch along your cut line with stability and ease. Without a standoff guide, holding the torch manually at a constant 1/8-inch height requires a steady hand and intense concentration. The ESAB 36635 eliminates this variable, ensuring that your arc length remains constant throughout the cut. A constant arc length means consistent voltage and heat input, resulting in smoother edges and less cleanup work later.

Furthermore, this simple accessory saves you money in the long run. By keeping the copper nozzle elevated from the workpiece, it prevents double-arcing and reduces the likelihood of spatter clogging the orifice. This extends the life of your nozzles and electrodes, reducing downtime and consumable costs. Designed for quick attachment, it snaps onto the torch cup in seconds, getting you back to cutting immediately. Trust in genuine ESAB quality to keep your equipment running at its best.
