Lidl were selling tips for it 6 weeks ago
The incompetence is those tips don’t fit the previous lidl plasma which was current at the time. Logistics are impressively incompetent at lidls
EBay is your friend

I bought one a couple of months back or so.
I can't recall exactly, but some Internet delving does turn up what model torch the Parkside uses, and ceramics and tips etc are plentiful and not expensive on eBay.
I bought a couple of better torch spacer thingummies that work better than the bent wire jobs from there , and they fitted fine
Edit: it's stuff like this.....
I bought these to go on mine....

Pilot arc
Which is which? Is pilot arc better?
The latest one is pilot arc
Latest one is pilot arc (so no need for scratch start) but it doesn't have a built-in compressor, so you need to hook it up to your own compressor (it does come with pipe and a water seperator/regulator to do this).
Dunno if it can up turned-up with a potentiometer inside the case (to uprate power from 30A to 40A) like I've read here you can with at least one earlier model

The inbuilt compressors can cause moisture problems
Some time ago I bought a thermal arc dragun plasma cutter and the lack of moisture trap destroyed the torch
I got my money back as they accepted that it’s not a good idea in damp countries!

I have one of the parkside models (cant recal model, but its external compressor). Pretty shortly after playing with it the torch started squirting plasma from the side of the nozzle and has burned it.
SO looking for a replacement torch, any recommendations? What fits at the machine end?
