Job Packet / WeldKing / CUT65

Packet use

Use this packet when the complaint involves intermittent pilot, pressure-sensitive start, postflow with no start, or guide-hardware related cut instability.
Primary guide: CUT65 guide
Bench sheet: CUT65 bench test
Brand references: WeldKing local reference manifest, WeldKing fault-branch matrix

Intake snapshot

Item	Record
Serial or shop tag
Exact complaint
No pilot, weak pilot, or no-transfer complaint
Air pressure under flow
Clamp placement on arrival
Torch-head mechanical condition
Guide or stand-off hardware in use

Likely parts and accessories to stage

Item	Why stage it early
Fresh A81 front-end stack	fastest way to remove torch-side false faults
Dry air source	pressure and dryness directly change pilot behavior
Known-good clamp and clean steel coupon	transfer complaints stay return-path heavy
Guide or circle hardware only if the complaint involves tracking	separates guide faults from start faults

Official parts-entry shortcuts

Use these after the diagnosis proves the fault follows the torch, guide, or air branch.
Broad parts path: official CUT65 parts category
A81 torch 07001400: use the official parts category above.
2-leg stand-off 07CV0026: use the official parts category above.
Circle kit 07CV0052: use the official parts category above.

First branch decisions

If you see...	Stay in this branch first
Pilot changes with pressure correction	air branch
Pilot changes with RV1 only	pilot-maintain-current branch
Tracking complaint with healthy pilot	guide and stand-off branch
Freehand cut is healthy but guided cut is not	guide, stand-off, or circle-hardware branch
Postflow normal but still no start	torch mechanics first, then control branch

Bench workflow

Normalize torch head, air pressure, and clamp.
Run CUT65 bench test.
Prove a freehand baseline before trusting any guide-hardware complaint.
Keep pressure-sensitive and guide-hardware complaints separate, then warm retest for pilot dropout.

Release signoff

Check	Result
Stable pilot restored	pass / fail
Stable transfer restored	pass / fail
Freehand baseline restored before guide proving	pass / fail
Short cut completed cleanly	pass / fail
Covers, grounds, and lead routing restored	pass / fail
