Plasma cutting has indeed changed rapidly. I know the Hypertherm Powermax 1000 I just got this year does not use HF and it has a CNC interface port as standard. It also has the G3 torch which kicks butt. The G3 is supposed to trickle down to the smaller units eventually.

Pete, what would you think is the fair price for a '2003 Powermax 1000 G3?
thanks

Yup, mine (purchased 2004) has the CNC port and G3 torch.

Unless it's seen heavy use and abuse I'd think $1k is not unreasonable. They are right around $2k new with tax or shipping.

Thanks. The seller does not want to sell for that amount, I think that I will just wait. There is another one selling the 600 model, though, would you say that $700 is a sensible price?
thanks

The 600 is around $1.5k new so $700 doesn't sound unreasonable if in good condition. It won't have the new G3 torch though since that hasn't made it below the 1000 model last I checked. I believe you can retrofit the G3 torch later for around $400.
Of course the 600 also has less capacity than the 1000. Suggest reviewing the specs on the Hypertherm site.
