The Torchmate CNC plasma cutter (also known as the Plasmatron) uses a Hypertherm PowerMax85 plasma torch as its cutting tool. The torch is carried on the robot gantry in a vertical orientation. The cutting tip consists of an assembly of five parts. It must be assembled by the user and if it isn't done correctly, the machine will fail to cut or it will cut poorly.

| "Fine-Cut" small format nozzle (copper) |
The part that effects the cutting action is called the nozzle. There are four alternatives: one small format (called "Fine-Cut) and three in a larger format. The thickness and material of the workpiece determines the choice of the nozzle, and machine settings are set according to the choice of nozzle.
