A CLOSER LOOK
[3]
Provides an additional kick of
arc constriction that “tightens”
the arc, concentrating more
cutting power than
conventional consumables.
A long powerful arc
cuts thicker and
quicker than most
comparable units on
the market today.
Patented torch technology with air
controls in the torch handle allows for
faster arc ignition.
VORTECH®Technology consumables produce a tighter plasma arc by concentrating the swirl.
Extra swirl built
into the bottom
of the nozzle.
Winners Don’t Compromise!
Some of the most sucessful motorsports team
fabricators rely on Lincoln welding and cutting
equipment.
