Powermax45 Hand Torch Consumables
Key advantages:
Small size and light weight provide unmatched portability among 1/2" (12 mm) machines. Conical Flow™ increases arc energy density for superior cut quality with little dross. Patented drag-cutting technology makes it easy to use - even for first-time operators. Boost Conditioner™ compensates for input voltage variations on 200 - 240 V lines, providing improved performance on low-line voltage, on motor generators and on fluctuating input power. CNC interface and FastConnect™ torch connection increase versatility for handheld and mechanized usage. Dual-angle design extends nozzle life and lowers operating cost. Powercool™ design cools internal components more effectively for greater system reliability and improved uptime.
