9-8228 - Thermal Dynamics 9-8228 Tip D Gouging Nozzle (5-Pack)

Maximize Efficiency with Thermal Dynamics 9-8228 Gouging Tip D

Upgrade your plasma cutting capabilities with the Thermal Dynamics 9-8228 Gouging Tip D, a premium consumable designed for the renowned 1Torch SL60 and SL100 series. For professional welders and metalworkers, the ability to switch quickly between cutting and gouging is a significant advantage. This Tip D nozzle is specifically engineered to facilitate plasma gouging—a process that is faster, quieter, and cleaner than traditional oxy-fuel or carbon arc methods. With a pack of five genuine tips, you can ensure your shop is ready for demanding metal removal tasks without interruption.

The "Tip D" designation refers to the specific geometry of the nozzle orifice, which is optimized for a wide and shallow gouging profile. This makes it ideal for applications where you need to clear a broad area of material without digging too deeply into the base metal, such as washing away a reinforcement weld or smoothing out a surface. Rated for use between 40 and 100 Amps, this tip handles the power of high-capacity machines like the Cutmaster 101, 102, 151, and 152 with ease. The robust copper construction withstands the intense heat of the plasma arc, providing reliable service life even under continuous use.

Using the 9-8228 is straightforward for experienced operators. By angling the torch at 35 to 45 degrees relative to the workpiece, the plasma jet effectively "scoops" out metal. The operator controls the depth and width of the gouge by adjusting travel speed, torch angle, and amperage settings. Because plasma gouging works on any conductive metal—including stainless steel and aluminum—this tip adds tremendous versatility to your equipment. Unlike mechanical grinding, which can be labor-intensive and slow, plasma gouging with the Tip D allows for rapid material removal with less operator fatigue.

Compatibility Guide:

• Torches: Thermal Dynamics SL60 and SL100 1Torch.
• Power Sources: Compatible with Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52, 81, 82, 101, 102, 151, and 152.
• Process: Plasma Gouging (DC).

Invest in genuine Thermal Dynamics parts to protect your equipment investment. The 9-8228 tips are precision-machined to ensure correct gas flow dynamics, which is critical for cooling the consumable and maintaining a focused arc. Poor quality aftermarket tips can lead to erratic arcs, overheating, and damage to the torch head. Choose the 9-8228 5-pack for consistent, professional-grade results on every job.
