Hi All,
I have seen many debates and opinions on this topic and am about to assemble my new 82i to my new Crossfire table.
It seems the most experienced say “use raw voltage, period” do to issues with getting a consistent 50:1 from the Everlast given their design.
Agree?
If so, then the debate is where to hook up to raw voltage… exterior lugs at bottom of face of unit, or inside the machine. Seems here that “inside the machine” is the popular vote from the very experienced forum users.
Agree?
If so, would someone be so kind as to send me detailed info. on where to connect and how?
Lastly, I understand that the only thing I should wire to the Everlast CNC port is the two Torch On/Off wires.
Thanks in advance to whoever brings all of this to rest with clarity and direction!
Raw voltage from inside the plasma cutter. Torch trigger wires to pins 1 and 2 of the CNC port.

Not even a question; raw from the lugs.
I have two Everlast plasma cutters: the 82i and the 102i. Both have divided voltage boards that don’t function as described in the manuals. When set up for a 50:1 ratio, they actually operate at 20:1 based on my testing. While some users claim they work well, that has not been my experience.
Although Everlast is known for their quality plasma cutters, they have shown little interest in addressing these issues. Despite having many years to resolve them, they have not made any improvements. It seems that the only problems are associated with Langmuir products, and Everlast appears indifferent to these concerns.
Crystal clear! Thank you and thanks for all the pics! Big help… I see so much confusion on this w/Everlast cutter used with Langmuir table.
