I replacement my Everlast 60s with a Hypertherm Powermax 85 and It is a fantastic machine. I do plan on ordering the adaptor for my Dura Torch 180 as soon as its available in the Americas. Tried to order a adaptor and cartridges’ from New Zealand but it seem super expensive with imports, shipping and it likely would get here after the Americas release.
The improved kerf alone is reason enough to buy the new cartridges.
They promise X2 plus the consumable life and 1/2 to 1/3 of the kerf width.
it will also warned you when your consumable are reaching end of life.
If you want your consumables to last the longest, beside running the right ones for the right task and at the right amperage.
Dry air is the answer . most people in a small shop think they have it but they don’t.
The maximum water vapor dew point should be <-40° C (-40° F) this is not easy to achieve but will make your consumables’ last much longer and preform way better.
