I had an 85 when I was doing a lot of heavy Ag jobs a couple years back. That thing was a beast. Sold it after the work dried up and now own a 30XP for use in my home shop. It too is a beast for its size. The 30XP handles everything I need. It’s also 110/220 so I can run it and my 220V compressor at the same time. Also, side note, that “postflow” of air, is designed to cool the consumables and make them last longer. I do tap my trigger to shut it off on occasion but it’s best practice to let it run.
Nice thanks for watching! We will have to show off the 30XP soon! We will be posting a video on the circle cutting guide here soon so keep an eye out for that.
I have the older Powermax 45 its an awesome machine, i think Hypertherm make's the best plasma cutters out there.
This video was super helpful!! Thank you
Just for your edification. The reason it has post flow is to cool the head so don’t shut it off. Secondly, if your air hose is not 100’ or longer your filter isn’t going to trap shit, especially when the air in the tank becomes hot from extended compressor use. The filters are designed to trap water not vapor.
Once again great review !
Good morning, thanks for the review. Looks like we need a new machine like this. Ours is 25 years old and getting real tired. It has been used almost daily since new.
Thanks for watching Steve! Also we do have a trade in and trade up program if you are upgrading machines! Email us for details support@bakersgas.net
Brilliant video ... just wondering please is their any possibility we could see some videos on gouging??!! I m looking at using a plasma in this area also ?!👌🤞
I have a 2013 Powermax 45 and its by far one of the best handheld plasma cutters ive used.. Makes building trailers and having to cut steel a breeze instead of a loud chop saw
Awesome, thank you for the feedback! Hypertherm makes great products.
Looks like I'm at the right clip, I bought one at an auction and brand new never opened for 350 dollars.
I've bought a 16 cfm air compressor and will see about ordering the Hypertherm filter and then I'm going to cut up 6mm walled old bore casing that's going to be used as post.
Awesome... how about a compare video with a miller plasma cutter.. Thanks love the videos.
If was stripping an old floor on a steel trailer (approximately 4 or 6 mm . Sometimes corrosion is present! Would this have any impact on the machine ,tips etc ??!!
Thanks for the video. Will it run on a 50 Amp 230V single phase? Also Promo Code in Video is invalid. Are you offering a discount?
Hypertherm is awesome, no otherone cut like them. But the price is too high for me. Even consumables are hard to find in my third word country. So I use a copy of Hypertherm consumables in a chinese cheap machine, pilot modification and air pressure control (the chinese machine didnt have it), study about consumables patent, and incredibly, it works a lot more better. Is not the Hypertherm high quality, but it work pretty nice and is affordable for my. The day I stopped been poor, I will buy a Hypertherm.
Hi! Great video! First of all for those people below that don't think they can afford one of these, there are many great barely "used" ones out there for a fraction of the price of new. I just bought one as a gift for my son. My used one did not come with any consumables and I would like to gift it to my son with some included. Do I have to buy the Hypertherm Powermax45xp consumables? Or are there cheaper brands that fit and do the same? This is Mom asking so please be nice! I am asking because I simply don't know anything about these other than researching which one to buy.
the XP30 does 5/8 ths have one, it does 1/4 easily then XP 30 air only does 1/2 inch . the only advantage of the XP air is it has its own compressor built in. the XP45 is a very good machine if you are a regular cutter of 1/2 inch or more.
Thanks for watching Bruce!
What's the thickness of plate that it can cut?
How we control the air for cutting 3 mm Stainless Steel sheet..?.
Andrew: May 20 going to Wauseon store to buy Hypertherm 45 xp and Miller ac/dc or Esab ac/dc. What welder do you recommend. New to welding
Awesome we look forward to meeting you! We will see if we can get that on Andrews calendar. :)
Would this machine be a good fit in a hot rod shop. Cutting out panels, cutting frames etc. Thanks.
Yes perfect for that unless your cutting thicker than 5/8" on a regular basis
Was the video sped up while you were cutting or is that the actual cut time?
we sped it up a little but but not much
Please do not to the "trick" to stop the airflow. The torch needs the air to cool the consumables. Unless I guess you like changing out the consumables long before they normally wear out. I got that direct from Hypertherm when they were out to my shop. YMMV!
just noticed something while watching this.... your machine has basically zero seconds of post flow....? it shuts the air off super quick when the cut is finished. On my 45 XP its always running at least 3-5 seconds of post flow and sometimes even more if its a longer cut. Is one of our machines broken or?
Edit: just went back and watched this again and saw the part where you said to tap the trigger to cut the air off when ur done to stop the post flow....
songer121 The post flow is designed to cool the consumables to help them last longer. It’s best practice to let it run to help extend the consumables life.
Thanks for watching! Yes I see you found the answer. Agree with @showmethepony you would usually let it run.
@@ShowMeThePony yeah i know... i have always let it go because i didnt even know you could stop it lol.... but now that i know this, i will still let it run. thanks tho!
What size of compressor is recommended how much psi continuous is recommended
6 cubic feet per minute (cfm) at 90 psi.
Do you still recommend a main air filter/dryer leaving the tank?
I would just for extra reassurance.
i have a good water separator i use on mine and it works just fine
what size air compressor are you using?
I run a 17 cfm with 60 litre tank with my Powermax 45, and it does trip the compressor a fair amount.
You can use as a little as a 6 gallon pancake compressor as long as it can produce 6cfm at 90psi. We are using an 80 gallon compressor in our shop we use for plasma cutting and air tools.
I need a sponsor lol this thing is sick
Yes Hypertherm machines are top of the line! Let us know if you need a quote.
@@BakersGas just picked on up last week gonna be doing a unboxing vid today!
1/2 inch Hardox 450
Thermal dynamics cutmaster 42 or 60, both cheaper and same duty cycle and cut capacity, cheaper by a lot and imo better
We will have a Cutmaster video coming soon! Thanks for watching!
@@BakersGas don't get me wrong hypertherm are probably considered the best, but they equivalent thermal dynamics models will do just as Well for considerably less
@@codycarswell3580 Sure in our next video anything specific you would want to see or have us answer on the Cutmaster 60i?
@@BakersGas just show that it can and will do everything the equivalent hypertherm model does
Not just about what it can do, but how long it can do it. Hypertherm units will beat the bitch out of a TD every time in longevity
That filter setup looks like a disaster waiting to happen ..You need to build a cart with a cage and your air fitting poking out of a piece of steel plate or it will get ripped off hanging on the back like that .
