Excalibur NM250 Cutting Torch or 18 x 90 Cutter

Please don't be put off by our price being higher than similar looking cutting torches because our Excalibur NM250 cutting torch really does represent the best value for money available, this means that our torch works out to be lower in cost than the cheap cutting torches that may look similar.  
Why?  I hear you ask, please read on - items "A" to "H" below.

Quality and design really does make a difference to how your cutting torch operates and performs, the Excalibur NM250 is not the same as your average NM250 sold by the majority of other suppliers.
Our Excalibur cutting blowpipe, frequently referred to  as an "eighteen ninty cutter" is suitable for use with any fuel gas type, acetylene, propane and propylene et cetera plus of course the appropriate nozzle type, most common being the ANM-6, PNM-9, PNM-18, ASNM, PSNM, AGNM, PGNM..............
Noz-Alls provide the widest range of cutting and process nozzles to suit these top quality or heavy duty NM cutting blowpipes - also known as a "Gas Axe" or even a "Lamp" in some industries.

Generally Noz-Alls Excalibur blowpipes will cost more than a similar type of torch from a competitor - WHY?  Well simply because the Excalibur torch from Noz-Alls is a much better quality torch plus is heavier duty and built to last longer than those supplied by other companies.  Every torch is tested by us to ensure there are no leaks plus that the cutting lever provides the correct bleed through to full flow proportionately.

While many nozzle mix cutting torches - NM250 / 18x90 cutters may on the surface look to be similar, our Excalibur cutting torch is much better quality than most.  These are a few of the reasons why it make sense to pay more for Noz-Alls cutting torches.

Every Excalibur blowpipe has:-
A) Solid stainless steel gas control valve spindles which makes for ease of adjustment and extended life. The stainless steel threads run more freely in the brass body when compared to the cheaper brass spindles plus being made from solid stainless steel makes the accuracy better allowing improved control over flow setting.

B)  Our 90 degree cutting torch has a robust heavy duty angle head which is larger and thicker than most which mean it can withstand more arduous conditions for longer.  

C)  The cutting lever may look similar to other torches but Excalibur is made from thicker stainless steel, with large cutting oxygen lever lock button which enables an artisans wearing gauntlets to easily lock the cutting lever on.  

D)  Unseen by the artisan is the cutting valve which has the original design incorporating the 2 "O" ring seal  compared to a single "O" ring seal in the cheaper torches.  

E)  The cutting valve has a traditional proportional flow control valve rather than the "on - off" valve fitted in low cost torches, the flow control valve we use makes the torch easier to use and work with allowing the artisan ultimate control.  The valve design is the original and built to function for the life of the torch.

F)  The inlet connections are able to be replaced should they become damaged which extends the  life of the torch.

G)  The torch handle is made from thick section brass tube so it will not corrode or deteriorate and is much stronger than aluminium.  Which makes the torch handle less prone to accidental damage.

H)  The lateral strength of the torch comes from the fact the the tubes are 10mm diameter with a thick wall section (many cheap torches use 9mm diameter tube with a thin wall section).

Why buy the torch twice when the Excalibur NM torch will operate more easily, function better allowing the artisan to work more effectively and quickly - saving money and of course the design means the torch will last you for longer than a competitors.

The Excalibur NM 250 cutting torch is available with several head types: 90 degree, 75 degree, 180 degree and special order 45 degree.

The short length (500mm) and the 180 degree head make this cutting blowpipe ideal for gouging and sculpting metal. The forward pointing nozzle blows all the dross away from the operator and allows much more precise gouging control.

The inlet connections are standard UK connections of G3/8 Left hand and right hand.
Please remember flow is vitally important to the nozzle and many lower cost hoses use cheap HCV (hose check valves) which restrict the flow of gases to the nozzle.
All our "standard" hoses are fitted with our own HCV which provide higher gas flows.

Special process high flow hoses (13mm - 25mm bore) are not fitted with HCV specifically so as not to restrict the gas flow.
