Inspired by Don Foreman's standoff, I made a standoff for my
Hypertherm MAX100 torch.


http://igor.chudov.com/projects/Welding/14-Standoff-For-Max100-Plasma-Cutter/


I made it from two cable strain reliefs from a huge military
amphenol
connector that I could not sell. All screws used are 10-32, except
the
bolts holding the two halves together are 1/4"-20.

I have not tried cutting with it yet.

Iggy,

The torch on my Hypertherm 900 looks identical but comes with a drag
cup screwed on the end which looks to be missing from your one. It
screws onto the brown plastic thread and gives the correct spacing,
part number 120601 and called a shield, available here:

As far as I understand, that shield is for 100A consumables, not for
40A. That's what Hypertherm told me, and so did my welding supply
dealer (Mittler supply).

If this is your torch (starting at 6-16), then it should have a shield
in hand, machine, and gouging configurations

That torch seems to be Pac160, my torch is PAC130.
