Thanks for posting this. I just got a Powermax 45 XP last week and was wondering how well each type of consumable worked. Also good to know about the aftermarket ones on Amazon.
Have you considered switching up to 18 or 20 ga for your signs? I would imagine the costs alone on just the sheets would outweigh any benefits gained from the thickness of 16 ga, for just general sign work.
I do make some things out of 20 gauge. small parts could definitely make it thinner, but anything over like 14" gets pretty flimsy on thinner than 16 gauge, and anything over 30" really needs 14 gauge
You have a supplier for “cheap” Hypertherm consumables? I bought an upgraded torch that uses them not realizing how expensive their consumables were. Idk if I trust the Amazon $40 consumable set 😅
Are you using the same swirl ring on the fine tips as the regular? I believe Hypertherm requires a different swirl ring for fine tip consumables. The number is 220947. It might also help with cut quality. Great video for reference! Thanks!
The powermax 85 has automatic air adjustment, and according to them its optimized, in other words you cant improve on it by manually setting it but i could definitely put it in manual mode and tweak it
Hi, thanks, very interesting comparaison. I'm from France, and working in a university. We just buy a machine like that. did you try already to mark (=grave) with a noddle 45A? it's recommanded to use 10A or 20A, but we do not have it. wwe use 45 A fine CuT for cuting, but as you send, fast speed is better (we just start so, lets see). Thank you again for your video !
@@turbocobra 220857 hypertherm 45-85 amp swirl ring, 220947 hypertherm fine cut swirl ring used on the machine torches, you will seriously reduce dross with fine cut consumables. also try 220777 copper plus electrode lasts 3x as long as regular 220842electrodes
45amp low speed I use for the material it's not rated for like 3/16 steel I use fine cut low speed to cut my 3/16" steel and from what I know hypertherm doesn't have that listing in their books
Ramsey Customs - turbocobra Burntables brand. Has THC. Everyone I have asked said the THC won’t work with the fine cut stuff. I am still learning as I go. Now I did see a different parts diagram the other day that showed fine cut nozzle but used reg shield?

Thanks for the tip on the cheap consumables I will give those try. I have run around 100 sets of the fine cuts and love them.
yes sir, fine cuts are super nice
@@turbocobra nice tips, this helped alot! Is there somewhere i can purchase that cowboys logo? I am a huge fan unfortunately lol. Thanks.
That big belt sander sure makes it easy to clean those pieces up.
great video , many thanks , im looking at either a 30 air or a 45xp , the 45 has fine cut so its interesting to see a comparrison.
I use 45amp fine cut consumables on everything up to 1/4” stainless mild steel aluminum and even titanium. Little to no dross.
damn, your a badass... i am trying to get there
is that sanding machine made for wood? I have one for wood and not sure how it would do with steel
Great video thank you
Never heard of low speed consumables, but I could use them. Thanks. Where's the link you said you'd put in?

What kind of belt sander is that?

Sammy thats a great point. I knew they made a different swirl ring for fine cut but never tried it. I will pick one up and check it out .
Interesting to see the difference. Tried fooling with the air pressure any?

Will you add the link for the amazon fine cut consumables please and thank you

Not sure if you know but there is a different red swirl ring for the fine cut
yea those are for hand torches only, machine torches use the same swirl ring as the regular consumables
Learn something new every day. Thanks.

Great info. My machine I cannot use the fine tips with THC on ?
are you running a fine cut shield?
Ramsey Customs - turbocobra yes fine cut shield rammed torch right into plate.
What machine you got? Does it have THC? If so what arc voltage you running?

I noticed in the diagram it tells you to run the fine cut without the ohmic sensing cap, any ideas why?
Summary: it seems they almost the same
