• Oxy-fuel Manual Bevel Attachment:
  • Used for bevel cutting operations, including top and bottom bevel cuts.

• Koike Twin Tip Holder:
  • Converts a single oxy-fuel cutting torch into dual cutting torches.
  • Allows strip cutting and a closer distance between small parts.

• Koike D7 Cutting Tips:
  • Safer Option: Koike’s 100 Series tips are designed to reduce backfires to keep the operator and torch safe.
  • High Quality: Each tip is thoroughly tested to ensure consistent high-quality cutting in every tip.
  • Faster Cutting: Koike's high-speed divergent tip increases cutting speed by 20-28% over standard tips.
  • Gas Savings: Gas consumption is reduced up to 26%.
  • Durable: A stainless steel cutting oxygen liner results in the tip lasting up to five times longer over standard tips.

TABLE OPTIONS

• Koike Water Cutting Table:
  • An economic solution to reducing smoke, sparks, and dust into the environment.
  • Can be used for both oxy-fuel and plasma cutting.
  • Constructed out of 1/4” thick steel.
  • Steel tank air bladder allows raising and lowering the water level with air.
  • Designed for leveling plates up to 6” thick.
  • 1/8” thick slats spaced 3” apart prevent small parts from falling into the table and reduce slag.
  • Easy lift lugs for quick access to collector pans.

• Koike Zoned Downdraft Cutting Table:
  
  • The Koike Downdraft table is as big, or as small, as most workpieces you’ve got.
  • Its modular design lets you add space as you need it, with a maximum material thickness of 6 in.
  • Operation is simple: there are no electronic components, and slat frames and slag pans remove easily for cleaning.
  • Fume extraction is everything you need, thanks to multiple zones for optimal fume extraction.
