Power max45

Finally pulled the trigger on the plasma. Decent price at weldersupply.com. $1590 plus free air filter and yeti tumbler equal to $200. Thanks to the good guys at Hypertherm!:thumbsup:

Congrats. Good price too.

Thanks, that's the lowest price I could find. Free shipping too. Cyber weld has a decent deal on synchrowave 210. Free mig upgrade. You could have a rig set up to tig and mig aluminum without changing anything.

Here's the same unit "on sale in Canada"

2,600.00 CAD = 1,876.71 USD

Still, not the best deal... Steve

Ahh....but the Canadian units have a higher duty cycle. (because the ambient temp is lower!). Jim Colt Hypertherm

Good one, Jim. But not in British Columbia.

Depends upon if they are rated by the new canadian (CSA) standard of 47 degrees C instead of the 40 degree C.

Our reliability lab testing is done at temperatures 35% higher than the 40C (104F) spec....so not an issue. That testing is also done at output amperage of 10% higher than maximum output, and at the load voltage required to cut the maximum rated production thickness...this ensure duty cycle specifications are not marginal, and in most cases can be exceeded with no issues.

Jim , you must be jumping up there ! I ordered a Powermax 65 last week ,got a call yesterday that production is behind and wouldn't ship till the 17th. Give me a chance to get a plug wired up I guess, what is on that beast for a plug ?

We are always busy....sorry for the slow delivery. Actually the problem is with our new logistics warehouse where we have moved all of our product shipping to (instead of shipping from each production facility, all of which are in an 8 mile radius)....we are having some startup issues and delays that hopefully will get solved soon.

The Powermax65 comes with a pigtail with no plug. These units will operate off any voltage between 200 and 600 volts, single or three phase power.......there are a dozen different combinations of plugs that work within that range.....so there is only a slim chance that you would have the correct one if we installed them from the factory! I suggest using a standard off the shelf 50 amp welding plug (if you have 208 to 240 volt single phase)...these are off the shelf at HomeDepot, Lowes, etc. For single phase simply cut off the red lead on the pigtail and attach the white and black wires to the hot leads and green to the electrical ground. If you have questions feel free to contact me directly at jim.colt@hypertherm.com
