Hypertherm Powermax 45 XP, #088113 Portable Has Never Been So Powerful


Powermax 45 XP: Extra Mechanized Power To Get The Job Done
It wouldn’t be entirely fair to say the venerable Hypertherm Powermax 45 is obsolete, but the new 45 XP sure takes everything we loved about the 45 up a few notches. With even more cutting power, more torch options, more consumables and more advanced interface options, Hypertherm has really outdone themselves with this one. And with 70% more power than competitors’ comparable systems, they’ve outdone the competition, too.
Small Size, Big Features
Don’t let its diminutive size fool you. With the power to cut up to 5/8” (16 mm) metal one-and-a-half times faster than oxyfuel, the Powermax 45 XP sets the standard for portable plasma cutters. And talk about versatility—with the array of consumables available you can use this little powerhouse for fine feature cutting, extended reach cutting, gouging, precision gouging and marking.
