What is FlushCut?

FlushCut for Powermax plasma systems provides a new, more efficient process for challenging removal applications.

What is FlushCut?

The patented consumable design for FlushCut features an angled nozzle bore design which delivers the plasma arc at a 45 degree angle – essentially bending the plasma arc. This unique design gives Powermax users the ability to cut closer, or more flush, to the base than ever before which significantly reduces grinding and increases the opportunity to reuse previously unsalvagable parts.

Most welders and fabricators can probably think of a lot of jobs where something like this could be useful...removing lugs, temporary weld supports, and pad eyes to name a few. In addition, the flush cutting process simplifies the cutting of weld access holes in I-beams, and also makes it easier to remove bolts or other parts from metal plate.

How does Flushcut compare oxyfuel or carbon Arc gouging?

Flushcut vs oxyfuel cutting

The Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) associated with FlushCut is significantly smaller than the HAZ associated with oxyfuel which allows for a closer cut and less grinding. The larger HAZ associated with oxyfuel mean operators have to cut higher on the lug or attachment which reduces the chances of reuse.

Flushcut vs carbon arc gouging

When carbon arc gouging a lug or attachment, a minimum of two passes are needed for removal compared to the FlushCut process which requires only a single pass. The carbon arc gouging process is more likely to dig into the workpiece, which requires costly and time consuming repair work.
