If you don't have an air compressor and are looking to purchase a plasma cutter then consider a machine with a built in air compressor. This means that you do not need any external compressor. There are a variety of machines with built in compressors that come in 110V configurations as well as dual voltage configurations (110V and 220V).

I've also got the hypertherm 30xp absolutely love it it's a very good machine that does what it says it does Bob Elkhart Indiana

I appreciate you doing this demo, it helped push me to the 30xp over the 45xp. I really wanted to have 110v as an option but was concerned with the the 30xp ability to do something thick in a pinch if I needed it.

@walkbehindtrimmer_attachment 4 жыл бұрын

@anthonymoy4471 2 жыл бұрын

Problem with the air version is they don't have a water trap and become a squirt gun in humid zones or in regular climate when using heavy

yeah stick to 3/8 cut clean and 5/8 sever. 3/4 was a mess, not useable with out further prep.

Nice Review. I am debating between a used Hypertherm 30XP for 1000 dollars and a PrimeWeld Cut60 new for 650.00. Can't find any videos for the new PrimeWeld Unit. Which would you purchase.

To start out with, same with me upgrading. Go with the CUT-50, practice and get experience with it then upgrade.

What kind of air filter/air dryer for this unit?

@truthserum9157 2 жыл бұрын

A small particulate filter first and then coalescence filter all from Harbor Fright for 15 to 20 bucks, install on the compressor.

I dont believe so. Hand torch only. You'd need the 45 for a machine torch

my brand new 30xp lasted into fourth year of moderate use then fried the $650 power board, too much $ for machine and consumables, id rather buy 4 chinese ones, consumables are way cheaper too.

I believe when you said you were using the regular consumables you are wrong you actually are using the fine cut nozzle and shield my friend i can clearly saw it on the video cause i have the same plasma cutter

Nice machine, but way too expensive to buy and repair. I had a Powermax 1000 that died on me. Hypertherm wanted over $1100 for a new powerboard. Not worth it.. I'll never buy a hypertherm again. Especially since hypertherm had a known issue with the power boards on many of those machines and would never fess up to the problem.

@Kaizer357 3 жыл бұрын

I beg to differ on that. Majority of the plasma cutters such as my CUT-50 can do 1/4" a tad slow but it can do it. when buying equipment, you buy what you pay.

For a $1500 machine I'm not impressed, my lotos 5000D will cut just as clean, I figured their wouldn't be any drop slag on the bottom 😬😪😬😪

Are you silly? Of course it is not going to cut 1" with the big gaps between your plates you are going to have blow outs between the gaps, you should know this. smh If you want to do a true test cutting 1" use a solid 1" piece of metal.
