How we checked

Sold under ESAB's legacy Thermal Dynamics brand name (ESAB now owns Thermal Dynamics); Cyberweld's dealer page confirms 1/2 in recommended pierce/cut capacity, 1 in maximum severance, 15-40A continuously adjustable output (27A @ 110V / 40A @ 200-240V auto-sensed), 22 lb weight, and the 16 ft SL60 1Torch with pilot-arc-capable Black Series electrode. Duty cycle breakdown (40%/60%/100%) and air flow/pressure spec corroborated via search-indexed retailer copy for the same SKU. The page this record cites returned 404 when re-checked on 2026-09-10 from two vantages — a datacenter connection and a residential one, so bot-blocking is not being mistaken for a dead page. This record carries no corroborating capture, so no page in it can stand in for the one that is gone. The figure stands as last read; re-sourcing it needs a live page, not a rule. The page this record cites as its source (https://store.cyberweld.com/products/thermal-dynamics-cutmaster-40-plasma-cutter-1-4000-1) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it answered 200 and redirected to https://store.cyberweld.com/, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. Nothing else in this record can stand in for it, so re-sourcing needs a live page read; the figure stands as last read.
