Anyone experience this?
The shield deformation is from trying to dig out the stuck threads to save the shield.

Re: Whoops...
It looks like you broke the threaded end off of your retaining cap. Perhaps some sort of lubricant on the threads would help to prevent this.

Re: Whoops...
I had one start to arc out the side above the threads. I was having problems piercing and happened to catch it. Swapped it out and things worked much better.

Re: Whoops...
I use DOW Corning 111 valve lubricant on all o-rings and threads.
I have been cutting quite a bit at 65a-85a lately and age of the the two parts are.
I keep one assembly for fine cuts and one for regular.
now I make sure I have spares.

Re: Whoops...
I have never experienced that. Must be too many heat cycles and it finally let go. Spares are always good to have no doubt!

Same here. I've never had a problem with the threads in the cap.weldguy wrote: Mon Apr 04, 2022 11:47 am I have never experienced that. Must be too many heat cycles and it finally let go. Spares are always good to have no doubt!
