    Anyone know the difference in the two tips?

    These two tips are for a S45 torch. They are actually the same size, pictures are not.
    Is there any advantage of one over the other??

    Keith,
    the one on the left #PDO102-10 is a 40amp
    the right #PDO116-08 is rated 20-30 amp
    the 3rd not shown PDO103-09 is rated at 20-40amp
    and there are also three electrdos PRO105, PRO110, and PRO106
    found this in the Trafimet Cataloge
    hope this helps

    Thats odd when i ordered fine cut tips from Longevity they sent me the 40amp...
    This is good info...maybe someone in the warehouse will see this and get them in the right bins.
    And maybe I'll get better cuts when cutting something thicker.

    samsberr and Keith,
    hey I have no knowlage of S45 torch
    this is just the information I took out of the Trafimet Cataloge
    and maybe the amps and the set up in these tips and electrodes is what controls the kerf

    when I first saw it I thought maybe the first one was a drag tip. It looks like it has the little offsets.

    On the Longevity web site they call the Left one a SMALL tip and the one on the right a LARGE tip. So they have a 40 amp tip as the small and the 30 amp the Large, That is confusing!!! It does not appear to be a warehouse problem, but a listing problem,,,,

    Keith,
    google Trafimet Cataloge there is a 228 page one,and there are 2 page ones with no info just part numbers and I do believe 2-3 versions of the large cataloge
    that gives some info

    Your probably right...
    I'm going to try some test cuts and see if there's any difference.
    I'll post results later.

    found this on the large tip kit on Longevity so I just copied and past, has nothing about amps but does say about finer cut

    Our durable Pilot Arc Large Electrodes, Large Tips, along with our Swirl Rings and Shield cups combine for a finer cut
    with our Pilot Arc Longevity Plasma Cutter Torches. These consumables are compatible with the following plasma cutters:
