    Thermal Dynamics Older SL60 torch head on newer ATC cable

    I have a Cutmaster 50 that recently died after someone unplugged it while I was using it then plugged it back in. Loud bang, now dead.

    I purchased a Used Victor Cutmaster 42 for a decent price but it has an SL40 torch and I hate it. Not to mention the tons of consumables I have for my old SL60 torch.

    Does anyone know if I can move just the SL60 torch head to the lead of the newer ATC cable? I can't tell if the air line fittings are the same size but I would assume everything else would just be a simple move of the trigger/cap switches?

    I searched but couldn't find specifics of each torch and didn't see anyone who tried similar.

    If your SL60 has an ATC plug it will work on either plasma.
    My cutmaster 80 has the ATC plug. The SL60 torch head can't be put on the SL40 lead. The SL 60 and SL100 use the same head.
    The SL40QD torch is totally different. The torch head and handle assembly can be removed from the leads with a quick disconnect plug.

    I forgot I posted this but yes, you can move the torch heads. Was actually quite simple, and moved the SL40 torch back to the old Non ATC lead and sold it, which also worked. The switches are the same on both leads and just needed the have the blue wires crimped/soldered and to slip the air line on.

    Please help. I have a Thermal Dynamics Pak Master 50XL in from a customer. Does not have a TD torch. I think the one he brought me is an SL60 with hose and 3 wire leads. Got hose on, Red wire for power, but don't know where to attach black or white wires. Behind control panel is a circular ring with 6 female wire terminals. All are gray except green ground. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    SL60 I s a TD torch. I might have the adapter kit to hook the SL to that machine. Can you send pic's ? One of the wires on the machine is not used because it was for HF start. There is info on this conversion on the web as well.
