MATCH THE TORCH, THEN THE PART
Choose parts for the exact setup.
Start with the torch marking, then check the machine-end fittings and the consumable dimensions. A similar machine name alone does not confirm fit.
| Process | Torch / equipment family | What to match |
|---|---|---|
| Plasma cutting | PT31 | PT31 marking, tip / electrode dimensions, cup thread and current rating; for a complete torch, also confirm the air fitting and trigger connector. |
Get a parts-fit check
Send your model, order number if available, torch marking, and clear photos of the torch head and machine-end connectors. We will help identify the matching part.
Questions before you choose.
Does PLC55X need an air compressor?
Yes. This air-plasma cutter needs an external compressed-air source. Prepare a suitable hose and follow the pressure and flow requirements for the exact machine.
Is PLC55X a pilot arc cutter?
PLC55X uses contact start. For non-contact pilot arc cutting, compare PLC55Pro and PLC65Pro.
Which replacement consumables should I choose?
Start with the PT31 torch supplied with this model. Match the tip, electrode and cup dimensions, then confirm the current rating. Send photos if the torch has been replaced or its marking is unclear.
Can I cut and weld with PLC55X?
PLC55X is a dedicated plasma cutter. For a machine that combines cutting with TIG and Stick welding, explore 520TSCPF or CT-418.
