When To Change Your Plasma Torch Electrode
Are you changing your plasma torch electrode at the right time?
Hypertherm Powermax owners: Are you changing out your electrode at the right time? Too soon and you’re wasting money. Too late and you could cause serious damage. In this video we show you how to get it right.
The primary function of the electrode in any plasma cutting torch in any plasma cutters is to provide power to the plasma arc. It is the starting point and electrical contact point of the plasma arc.
