The salesman tells me this is because td lowers the rating of the machine so that the recommended cut could be performed all day without issues to me this means the duty cycle however the duty cycle of the td machine is not much better than the hypertherm at the same current level.
Thermal dynamics 60i vs hypertherm.
Under bradley dewey s direction thermal dynamics focused in two areas plasma cutting and plasma welding developing new portable devices and capturing the largest market share for plasma welding in the u s.
The only time i would go thermal dynamics is if i had a chance on their old units including the pak 10 44 45 these are not the pak xr series but the original pak series.
Premium consumables new cutmaster black series electrodes can operate 60 longer than standard consumables before needing to be replaced.
I am a little confused about the amp thickness ratings of the td machines their 60a machine is comparable to a 45a hypertherm.
The cutmaster 60i is the newest addition to the plasma cutmaster line.
Thermal dynamics cutmaster 60i w 50 torch 1 5631 1.
Hypertherm has some good stuff max 43 70 80 100 and the new powermax series but to be absolutely honest you really can t go wrong with a unit from either manufacturer.
My interest is in cutting 3 16 and smaller steel.
Post by jmsrbrt sun jan 16 2011 3 03 pm anyone have any actual experience and can tell me what if any differences there are in using a thermadyne cutter versus the hypertherm.
1970 brought in the first pak unit power supply cooling system and console combined into one unit.
