Abstract
A plasma arc torch and methods for assembling and disassembling a plasma arc torch wherein a plurality of front end parts of the torch form a unit that is removable from the torch in a single operation to gain access to the electrode. The unit can then be reinstalled in the torch in a single operation after replacement of the electrode. An assembly fixture is employed to facilitate pre-assembly of the unit of front end parts prior to installation of the unit in a torch.
