That’s right.
I don’t own a Hypertherm so I wouldn’t know.
I don’t own a Hypertherm either. I just have a Hypertherm torch adapted to my Everlast.
Much like the upm105, it’s hard to convince people how much better it is than the PTM 60 torch.
I got 1500 pierces out of my first set of Hypertherm consumables and they still hadn’t failed.
The current set started getting too much bevel at around 500 pierces, so I changed the nozzle. The electrode still looks good at around 700 pierces.

Not sure what gave you that idea, was easy for me to switch to a UPM-105 lol

I know this is an old thread, I am wondering how all of you testing came out. Also, were the supplies you received the correct ones and how did the swirl ring work with the air direction it had? I am in the process of purchasing the UPM-105 for my Pro table I also use a PrimeWeld Cut 60. Thanks
The UPM gave me more pierces than the PTM in general, and consistently on the same exact setup.
If I recall, the thread was about comparing consumables, not torches.
I never tested the ATTC consumables and I still have them in a box somewhere.
I’ve been running a Hypertherm 45XP machine for a few months now.
If your going with the UPM105 to use REAL Hypertherm consumables here are the numbers you will need. Remember the REAL UPM105 comes from Tecmo in Italy, Primeweld does not sell the one from Italy or Tecmo consumables.
electrode - 220669
cutting tip - 220671 - 45 amp
swirl ring - 220670
retaining cup - 220713
cnc shield - 220673
These Hypertherm 30XP numbers you would use as fine cut consumables. NOTE: some times they won’t work properly on the UPM105 torch.
electrode - 420120
cutting tip - 420118 - 15/30 amp
swirl ring - 420211
retaining cup - 420114
deflector - 420115
Now if you want to cut over 45 amps you will have to get the Tecmo consumables I sell that is rated from 50 to 70 amps or Chinese consumables as Hypertherm does no make a cutting tip/ nozzle over 45 amps.
