Powmermax 900

Post by Ian Davis »

Hi , I have near finished sorting my table , I have a question . I have a powermax 45 with machine torch/lead and I have a powermax 900 with a machine length lead but a hand torch . I want to get a Duramax torch for finecut . will the 900 be fine for everything thick and thin ?as I prefer to get one for that and sell the 45 to recoup some money . Thankyou Ian.

I went from the old style machine torch to a Duramax machine torch on my Powermax 600 and it cuts everything great even cuts 1/2" mild steel very clean.

Thankyou, also my 45 has 4 wires in the plug that goes into the Plasmacam controller and my 900 only has 2 coming out of it .

Old Iron,

Are you able to pierce 1/2" with the Powermax 600 / Duramax torch combo? I have a 600 as well, that's seen very light use since I purchased it new. I have a CNC plasma table coming (Langmuir Crossfire Pro, 48"x33") in the next week or two. I found someone selling a brand new Duramax retrofit HAND torch local for cheap so picked it up. I hoping the cut quality for hand vs machine torch is the same. Nice to know you have had good success with the older Hypertherm model.

Thanks.
