STV CNC SparX10 Plasma Table Setup | Hypotherm Powermax 85 Torch (Today in The Shop #8)

[@kjbigslim]

Have you found that you should or should not have purchased different options? (reduced gearing, or any of the other selections when filling out the shopping cart)? Do you think you needed the powermax 85? I have a 45, and I'm curious how well it'll do 1/4" in production

The breakaway nozzle is nice in case a part flips up and hits the nozzle, it keeps anything from getting ruined. The 85 has also been nice for cutting very think stuff (up to 3/4” we believe…), the thickest we have cut is 1/2”. We typically cut 3/16 and 1/4” with the 65 setting and it turns out great. 45 still cuts pretty well, just less power for clean cuts
