Torch raised on bracket

Post by KeeYaw »

I have the Powermax 85 machine torch. After having it for a cpl months now I noticed the torched seemed to have raised up on bracket. When I try and set torch height on light metal such as 14ga it bottoms out before touching metal. How do I re-adjust the torch or is it my imagination that the torch has moved?? :?

you need to provide more info.
what kind of table do you have, switch offset?
i have a switch offset on mine and sometimes the "tab" that triggers the switch moves slightly which will cause the height to be wrong, but the torch moving in the holder is unaffected as long as switch offset stays the same. if i made any sense. but more info and im sure someone will respond with something more useful.
if you have clamps holding torch loosen them and slide torch down some and you should be fine. i reread your post and i think i understand
