Once again, Im on the hunt for the original torch head for my Marquette 12150 (System 3015) 35amp plasma cutter. I think I have narrowed it down to the Cebora/Snap-On P-30 torch but seems no one makes them anymore, Is the P-70 the same or close enough? When I got it, it was headless. I just need a compatible replacement. I dont know if its a HF or pilot arc. The Trafimet S45 torch head electrode gave up on me. As I understand it, I was forcing a pilot arc on the wrong torch head and it was sacrificing the electrode. Weldmart sold an "Alpha 3a" replacement torch (it added pilot start?) for it but its no longer available and it listed the M12150 as a candidate. One of you helped me out a few years ago and I forgot who it was.

I will try and remember to look it up this week. I should be able to turn something up again.
 
great! I think there must be a compatible as the P30 seems out of print. It was used on the Snap-On Blue point so you would think Snap-On would service the heads?
 
You would think but all Snap-On did was have century/Marquette put thier name on it and then turn around and sell it for twice the price.
 
I sure don't know. You'd think with all the cheap mig/tig/plasma imports there would be more "internet hacks."

On thing I'm PO'd about is that google has recently changed their search formulas. You now get way more "commercial" returns regardless of what you typed in
 
My adapted S45 torch head worked, it just wore out the electrode pretty fast. maybe thats just by design. Just wondered if there was a P30 repalcement. Its a wonder how many torch heads are out there for basically 3 types. HF, contact and pilot arc. The complete replacement 30 amp P30 torch I found is $10 less than a brand new Chinese CUT50 rig shipped, and those work pretty good for the hobbyist.
