Unusual Plasma Electrode?

[jonathandean]

Hi, I have a Plasma Cutter labelled as a Sabre Arc 20L with Smitweld and Norweld group labelling, also made in Germany.

The electrode and other consumables are a bit different to any I have seen. I have approached suppliers but they too are perplexed by them, I have asked lincoln, as I believe they brought Smitweld, but I am awaiting any response.

Has any one seen these before or known more about it, I really need some new bits.

Thanks for any help

I can't help in identifying it but...

Would it not be cheaper to buy a new head, with consumables that you can get hold of

Thanks for your reply, it is my first plasma and I am not really sure about them.

Would you know what head would fit, this one just screws on. I can post a pic of the head but to me it looks exactly like a Chinese PT 31, but my electrode looks a bit different?

Thanks again

I know very little about them, sorry. Someone will be along shortly to fill the gaps in.

Was looking at that machine on ebay myself but decided against bidding as I couldn't find any info at all on the net and that's usually a sign that it's a very rare creature you're dealing with. You may strike lucky but you really need a reliable source for consumables so I'd be inclined to take the above advice and look at changing the head at least. Will still be a cheap machine and likely well made and reliable.
