Did I fry my torch w/pics?

[performance]

Didn't we already answer this? The torch is fried. I would not attempt to repair it. You'll need a new one. Probably did not hurt the machine. You can get a new torch from Trafimet, us or other places, but you'll need a new one.

Thanks Mark for the update. Glad to hear I probably didn't hurt machine. I assume when I get a new one, I will just use my existing connectors ?

Yes, you can buy just the torch head (no cable or euro connector) or the whole assembly.

I prefer the P80 torch with 1.1 mm tips but you can't get them locally. http://www.ebay.com/itm/P80-Torch-Pl...item20dbcd996b
... or http://stores.ebay.com/plasma-cutter...=p4634.c0.m322 I've ordered from them.
It's a simple tough torch and the consumables last a long time with proper use and dry air. The roller guide is really nice to have because you can get super clean cuts with a straight edge.
Everlast sells these as well.

Edit: the P80 will only work on older high frequency machines.

Thanks Zoama! I will try to look for the s45 torch head replacement since I already have consumables for it. Also, I have the Plasma Helper products from Plasmahelper.com. I found the roller can move laterally if not careful. Thanks again for your input around the torch, because it will save me some $$$ to buy more metal.

Keep a little pressure against your straight edge with the roller guide, allways make a dry run first before cutting and cut as fast as possible without skipping.

YOU CANNOT USE THE P80 TORCH! This is a high frequency torch. It will not work.

Thanks Mark. I was confused, so thanks for the clarification.

The cost of a new head is nearly the cost of a new torch.
