* Note: Take care in comparison: competitors often show maximum cutting speeds rather than speeds that deliver the best cuts, as shown above. Cut speeds listed above deliver best cut quality, but cut speeds can be up to 50% faster.
** ISO 9013 is a standard that defines cut quality of thermally cut parts. The lower the range (range 1 is the lowest), the smaller the angle on the cut face. Cut angle in range 4 is better than in range 5.

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. Pattened 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. ______________ Powermax45 consumable kit (Now available in the U.S. and Canada) |
