Is Everlast making drag tips for their plasma cutters yet?

Just what the title says .

We don't make the torches or the consumables directly. The torch accessories are available from a multitude of US based OEM and aftermarket suppliers.
The shielded consumables are available from other suppliers but not currently from us.

Why don't you sell them?

Do you want drag "TIPS" or shielded drag consumables ?

We carry the basics, the most commonly needed stuff to keep inventory manageable, with hundreds of different products we have available. Plenty of people like george above do a good job of branching out and expanding the line, and he is an oem supplier of the torch design we use. And since that is his focus, he can do a better job at maintaining a wider array.

Except until this moment I did not know he existed. You do not refer anyone to where they can get stuff and since I have never used drag tips or shielded drag consumables I do not know what I want. This is the first plasma I have owned and even when I worked we never used drag tips or consumables. We used what was in the gang box and made it work. All I know is the stand off for the tip is a nuisance in many situations and I see some guy on tv just drag his plasma along . Finding a place to buy stuff is one thing, finding a place to buy parts when you do not really know exactly what you want is a different animal. I probably want some of both but I would need to know more about their uses.

I know there was a time when they were not avalable for the torches used by everlast but I guess we are just supposed to know by mental telepathy that the stuff is now available from some other supplier. Mine is 5 or 6 years old .

Just google ipt60 drag consumables. That'll work if you need more sources. Anyone asks me, I tell them where. We offer standard tips for the plasma cutters. We don't keep a complete or exhaustive list of everyone who sells parts for our stuff. For example, you can go to Harbor Freight or Northern tool and get consumables to fit. Then there's George, Plasmadyn, nutec and many more. Everyone carries a different amount and type.

It would really help to let us know what Everlast plasma cutter you have and the torch that is on it as you say its 5 or 6 years old they have changed torch,s on some of their plasma cutter.

Its a 60S with a Trafimet S-75 torch. I believe it is a 2016 that I purchased in fall of 2015 .

[mechanic416]

The S75 torch used mostly drag tips. Everlast does sell the drag tips. You can also find them on ebay and amazon. These are drag "tips" see how they are made.

If it were me I would be changing out the torch for a IPT60 that would give me a full range of consumables.

[lugweld]

Your unit would be a 2015 or earlier model. 2016's were all ipt60.

Good idea. That is why we made some changes.
