OVERVIEW

Restore Your Cutting Power with the ESAB PT-26

When your industrial plasma cutter needs a new lease on life, the ESAB PT-26 Torch (36559) is the heavy-hitting replacement you need. Designed for welders and fabricators who push their equipment to the limit, this torch is built to handle high-amperage cutting applications with ease. If you are operating an older workhorse machine like the PCM-150, you know that the torch is the critical link between the machine's power and the metal you need to sever. The PT-26 ensures that link remains strong, stable, and efficient.

Maximum Mobility on the Job Site

One of the standout features of this model is its massive 50-foot cable length. Standard torches often come with 25-foot leads, which can be limiting when working on large trailers, structural beams, or in facility maintenance where the power source cannot be easily moved. With 50 feet of reach, you can access hard-to-reach areas, climb scaffolding, or work across the shop floor without dragging the machine behind you. This flexibility translates directly to time saved and frustration avoided.

Precision and Comfort

Manual plasma cutting requires a steady hand, and the PT-26 supports this with its ergonomic 90-degree head. This natural angle allows for comfortable positioning whether you are cutting flat plate or working out of position. The handle is shaped to fit securely in the hand, providing excellent control over the arc. This is crucial when performing intricate cuts or when edge quality is paramount to minimize secondary grinding operations.

Industrial Grade Reliability

Don't let a damaged torch halt your production. The ESAB PT-26 is manufactured to strict quality standards, ensuring that the trigger mechanism, gas flow channels, and electrical connections are robust and safe. It is designed to resist the harsh reality of welding environments, including exposure to metal dust and rough handling. Upgrade your setup or replace a damaged unit with the genuine ESAB PT-26 and get back to cutting thick metal with confidence.
