Powermax 1100 machine torch upgrade

Post by Lootsef »

I have an old pmx1100 in near perfect condition. As I understand hypertherm will discontinue the pac135m torch consumables in July. They offer an RT80m retrofit torch for this machine at a cost of Aud $1000 but it will be discontinued in 12 months effectively making my pmx1100 a Very expensive paper weight.

Can anyone tell me if a duramax machine torch can to mated with a pmx1100 successfully?

I don't see one for the 1100, your best to contact Hypertherm and ask what they can do for you.

I have had the Powermax 1100 with T80 for many years, it works very well. Now I have a PM 85 with a Duramax burner.

This combination is a little better than the old one, but the wear parts are much more expensive and don't last longer at mie.

I can only say that a PM 1100 with T80 is very good and I believe that there are companies that offer good wear parts.

Try to get a older used T80.
