New Plasma cutter

Feb 10, 2007 6 Replies

I enjoy a good deal on used equip as much as the next guy, But it sure is nice to buy something Brand New and still in the sealed box. I just replaced my old 3/8"max capacity plasma cutter with a new Hypertherm powermax 1250 1



1/2" max capacity, now to wire it up and get it hooked up to the plasma cam....my weekend is planed out.

off to the basement.....

Congratulations, that's a big-un, I only got the 1000. Got plenty of clean dry air for it?

I'm envy!

I use a 600 on my plasma cam but use the fine cut tips - current density rocks!

I have an RT80 on a 50' leather covered hose - that is nice anywhere in the shop or outside. I use it on the table when really needed, it cuts better than the standard torch.

I just did some 1/2" armor plate (very dense) AR400 with a fine cut tip - and what a nice cut it was!

Good luck - now green eyed Martin

Let us know how it goes.

Congrats! Now I'll do you a favor and take that nasty old unit out of your shop for you. I'll even pay shipping! What a guy, huh?

Thanks , yes I have a 60 gal t-30 Ingersoll and a speedair 3 stage desiccant dryer, it seems to deliver clean dry(enough) air. Far better then the craftsman 20 gal upright oil-free noise maker I used to have, I thought I was going to go deaf, I retired part of it the rest is now a portable air tank. It was amazing how much the cut quality improved when I put the dryer in line, consumables life jumped up too.

Rats,..ya beat me to it...sigh

Political Correctness

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
