The defector is isolated from the tip and that is what should be contacting the metal not the tip

Tom is correct - the shield will make contact with the metal, not the nozzle. On another note, make sure you are using the FineCut swirl ring for best results.

Thanks again for your help, I rechecked everything and I had put the finecut hand torch deflecter on by mistake

Re: 45xp finecut ohmic question
After I posted I remembered on the 65 fine cut there are 2 different parts, one being the Deflector and the other is the shield.
Shield being the one used for Ohmic sensing, I should have been more clear in my post.
Which you did figure out.
