# P80 Plasma Torch: BW P-80/P-80P Replacement Torches and Consumables

The **P80 plasma torch**, also known as the **BW P-80/P-80P**, is a widely used air-plasma torch format for manual and CNC plasma cutting. Its proven consumable design, availability of replacement torch bodies and range of nozzle sizes make it a practical choice for workshop, fabrication and mechanised cutting applications.

[MetalWise](http://metalwise.co.za/) uses the P80 torch platform across its air-cooled plasma power units from **65A to 130A**. This gives operators a familiar torch system with consumables selected to suit the cutting current and application.

## MetalWise P80 Air-Cooled Plasma Power Units

Our P80-compatible plasma cutting machines include P-METALWISE/45 P-METALWISE/85 and P-METALWISE/125.

These machines use an air-cooled P80 torch configuration, helping simplify consumable selection across a range of plasma cutting capacities.

Check out the [AM.CO.ZA YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@AchievementMatters)for [practical tutorials on MetalWise plasma torches and consumables](https://www.youtube.com/@AchievementMatters/search?query=MetalWise), as well as the full range of AM.CO.ZA CNC machines.

## P80 Replacement Torches

Whether you are replacing a damaged torch body or fitting out a CNC plasma table, MetalWise supplies P80 replacement options **P-METALWISE/M**, **P-METALWISE/T** and **P-METALWISE/2HT**.

The mechanised torch is suited to CNC and automated cutting applications, while the handheld torch gives operators flexibility for manual cutting, repair and fabrication work.

## P80 Consumables for Every Cutting Current

Correct consumables help maintain arc stability, cut quality and torch life. Our P80 consumable range includes P-METALWISE/CM, P-METALWISE/E10, P-METALWISE/N11, P-METALWISE/N13, P-METALWISE/N15, P-METALWISE/N17 and P-METALWISE/WM.

For best performance, match the nozzle size to the operating current. A 1.1mm nozzle is intended for lower-current cutting, while the 1.7mm nozzle supports higher-output cutting up to 130A.

## Why Choose the BW P-80/P-80P Torch System?

The P80 system is popular because it offers a practical combination of air-cooled operation, replaceable consumables and options for both manual and mechanized plasma cutting. Keeping matched P80 electrodes, caps and nozzle tips on hand helps reduce downtime and keeps your plasma cutter ready for production.

**Always confirm the torch connection, lead configuration and consumable specification before ordering, as compatibility can vary between plasma cutter brands and models.**
