I had posed that question to Jim some time back and he said that was a standard size for machine torches.

Just received the 45xp Part #088121 with machine torch today and it's the same diameter (1 3/8") as my PM 85 2 piece Duramax machine torch but the 45XP machine torch is plastic 12 inches long. The new body is split halves screwed together. In the picture I have the top half of the PM85 Duramax machine torch left after I removed it to fashion the mini torch.

The 45XP machine torch is 3" shorter than the Duramax machine torch fully assembled but still a full 12 inches long. Jim has said the Duramax machine torch #228790 will work on the 45XP. Just take the top body off and shorten it to the mini. But the 228790 torch and cable will set you back about $700. :shock:

Thanks, Got mine a while back and fits my mount perfectly.
Whats the best option part number for a hand torch with a short cable (20'/25') purchase? The models I see listed for the 45xp don't look like they have the quick connect... must the connector be purchased separately?

I already have a machine torch. I found the correct Hypertherm stock number.
