System information

Applications

Drag cutting

For dragging the torch directly across the work piece

Extended reach cutting

For improved visibility and accessibility when cutting in confined spaces

Extended reach gouging

For improved visibility and accessibility when gouging in confined spaces

Fine feature cutting

For narrow kerf width with minimal dross and heat affected zone

Flush cutting

For cutting closer to base materials using a 45 degree

Max control gouging

For precise metal removal, shallower gouge profiles and light metal washing

Max removal gouging

For aggressive metal removal, deep gouge profiles, and extreme metal washing

Mechanized cutting

For portable automation and table cutting

Unsupported applications

Marking

For scoring, indicating part identification, hole or weld locations

Try Powermax45 XP

Precision gouging

For spot and tack weld removal at very low output current (<25 A)

Try Powermax45 XP

Benefits

Maximum productivity

Finish jobs faster with cut speeds three times greater than oxyfuel on 12 mm (1/2") mild steel
Superior cut and gouge quality let you spend less time on grinding and edge preparation
Multiple, easy-to-use torch styles let you tackle a wide variety of jobs using the same system

Easy-to-use for cutting and gouging

No need to change the air pressure – Smart Sense technology ensures that it is always correctly set; it also detects electrode end-of-life, automatically turning off power to the torch to prevent potential damage to other parts or to the workpiece
SpringStart™ technology ensures consistent starting and a more reliable torch
Drag cut at full output with a patented shield that reduces dross buildup for smoother cutting

Built to handle tough jobs

Hypertherm Certified™ reliability ensures peak performance even in the harshest environments
Duramax torches are designed for high-impact and heat resistance
