Welcome to the forum.
I would trust George on this. He knows what he is talking about.
There are a few threads that talk of other options rather than messing with the actual torch. Not sure if the same would apply for the sync torch. That is a whole new ball game.
Fair enough. I was unwilling to tap wires in my very new plasma cutter and really liked the CPC option. It is a lot more convenient to leave a torch attached to the table also. So if you could get a second torch you might like it. Another option to use the CPC port would be to insert a pin in the #8 position for the torch handle and then put a selector switch in the torch wires so it switches between #6 OR #8. That would allow your torch to function as either a machine torch or a hand torch.…

I’ve seen lots of people asking a bunch of questions about these things, so I figured I’d post up how I’ve got mine set up. Be forewarned, this will be long winded and I’ll split into sections.
One thing I noticed off the bat was the torch wiring, scotch-locks aren’t in my vocabulary, so as soon as I saw those, I looked for another way. When I bought my Hypertherm 45XP, I specifically bought it because they have the most trouble-free track record of communicating with all sorts of different con…

New member trying to get my Crossfire Pro going. I had a Hypertherm Powermax 45 before I bought my machine and lucked out by it having the CPC port already installed. When searching how to use it, I found where people were modifying the hand torch by switching pin 6 to 8 to fool the plasma cutter into thinking it had a machine torch. My question is, has anyone ever tapped into the hand torch trigger wiring (like you would if you didn’t have the CPC) and wire that into the blank spots on the C…
I will add: if you can afford it, the machine torch is really nice to have. It is easier to work around and easier to inspect and change consummables.
