Plasma consumables in Canada
Any Canadians with Hypertherm 65 plasma machines? I got charged $14.00 ea. for the last electrodes at Prax Air. Seems like a rip off. Any body doing better than that?

Re: Plasma consumables in Canada
The manufacturers suggested list (US dollars) is $9.70. You will then need to convert to Canadian $ and add any taxes or duty I suppose. If you do the math to calculate the cost per foot of cut for that electrode at $14.00 you will see that it costs about 2 cents per foot of cut on 1/4" steel, slightly more on thicker and less on thinner materials.
