Hypertherm’s Powermax 45 was one of the most popular portable plasma cutters ever offered at Welders Supply, and for good reason. Now, Hypertherm has upped the ante with the Powermax 45 XP. More power, more innovative features and more flexibility make the 45 XP the new champ of portable plasma cutters. If you’re looking for a versatile, powerful and portable workhorse that integrates seamlessly to CNC machines and is capable of 5/8” cuts, as well as gouging and marking, put the Powermax 45 XP on your short list.
Besides increased cut capacity over it’s predecessor and faster cut speeds, the Powermax 45 XP is 70% more powerful than comparable systems from the competition. Equipped with a CPC port with a 5-position selectable voltage divider card, integration with CNC machines has never been easier. With cut speeds one-and-a-half times faster than oxyfuel (on ¼” mild steel), the 45 XP powers through jobs fast—and the cuts and gouges are so good you won’t have to waste time grinding and prepping the edges.
This package includes the Powermax 45 XP CSA Machine System with CPC Port, 35 ft (10.7) leads, and remote on/off switch. All components in this package are fully backed by Hypertherm’s 3-year warranty (Powermax) and 1-year coverage on torch and lead.
