  • XT40R Torch: Ergonomic 12-ft torch designed for comfort during long fabrication sessions.

  • Consumables Kit: Includes the initial set of electrodes and tips to get you cutting immediately.

Machine Protection

  • Fan-On-Demand™: The cooling system only runs when needed, reducing shop noise and dust intake.
  • Postflow Cooling: Automatically cools the torch after the trigger is released, significantly extending electrode and tip life.
  • Auto-Refires™: Automatically controls the pilot arc when cutting expanded metal or grates.
