For SL60 and SL100 manual cutting and gouging operations.
DRAG SHIELD CUTTING This is an operatorfriendly method of cutting while
maintaining a constant standoff distance. For metal thickness greater than 6
mm (1/4 in), simply drag the shield cap in contact with the work piece. Use
the shield cup body with the appropriate drag shield cap matching the current
level being used. This method is not recommended for cutting light-gauge sheet
metal.
STANDOFF CUTTIN G The preferred method of cutting metal. Provides maximum
visibility and accessibility. Shield cup for standoff cutting (with the torch
tip 3 to 6 mm (1/8 to 1/4 in) from the work piece). Use the shield cup body
together with the deflector for extended parts life and improved resistance to
reflect heat. This combination provides cutting results similar to the single
piece shield cup, as well as easy changeover to gouging or drag shield
cutting.
GOUGING A simple method of metal removal by angling the torch to a lead
angle of 35°–45° and using a gouging tip. While maintaining a constant
standoff distance, this allows for only a partial penetration into the work,
thus removing metal from the surface. The amount of current, travel speed,
standoff distance, lead angle, and tip size will determine the amount of
material removed and the profile of the gouge. You can use the shield cup body
with either the gouging shield cap or the shield deflector. Also, you can use
the single piece shield cap. Cutmaster® 30+
