OVERVIEW

Hypertherm 220673 Drag Shield for Powermax 45

Keep your Powermax 45 running at its best with the genuine Hypertherm 220673 Drag Shield. If you are using the T45v hand torch, this is the part you need to get smooth, clean cuts without the hassle of holding a manual standoff. This shield is designed to let you drag the torch tip right on the metal plate, making it incredibly easy to trace lines or use a straight edge guide. Whether you are cutting mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, this 45-amp shield helps you get the job done faster and with better precision.

Why buy OEM? Hypertherm consumables are built to last. The 220673 shield is made from durable, heat-resistant materials that stand up to the harsh environment of plasma cutting. It acts as the first line of defense for your torch, blocking molten metal spatter from clogging your nozzle. When your shield is in good condition, it helps focus the plasma arc, giving you that signature clean Hypertherm cut. A worn-out shield can cause the arc to wander or the torch to overheat, so keeping a fresh one on hand is always a smart move for any serious fabricator.

Installation is quick and tool-free. Simply unscrew the retaining cap, swap out the old shield, and you are back in business. This part is specifically designed for the T45v hand torch found on the classic Powermax 45 machines. It is not compatible with the newer 45 XP series, so be sure to check your machine model before ordering. Don't risk your cut quality with generic knock-offs; stick with the original 220673 shield for consistent results every time you pull the trigger.

Key Benefits:

  • Drag Cutting Ready: Rest the torch on the workpiece for steady, fatigue-free cutting.
  • Nozzle Protection: Prevents spatter buildup on the nozzle face, extending consumable life.
  • Perfect Fit: Guaranteed compatibility with your Powermax 45 T45v torch.
  • Improved Cut Quality: Maintains the correct airflow for a focused, powerful arc.
