Hypertherm Powermax 65 SYNC Plasma Cutters
Powermax 65 vs the new Powermax 65 SYNC: What's New?
Hypertherm's new Powermax 65 SYNC line is lighter and easier to use than the now-discontinued Powermax 65. Using a compatible SmartSYNC torch, operators can now adjust amperage and power on handheld torches without returning to the power supply. The old five-piece consumable stack has been simplified into a single easy-to-swap consumable cartridge labeled with amperage and color-coded by use type. Simply twist the cartridges on and off and get end-of-life notifications when it's time to replace your cartridge.
