G'day from Australia and thanks for sharing. I have the same cutter on my homebuilt CNC plasma cutting table so your cut videos help me with my settings for when I cut various materials.
The Razorcut 45 and the Powermax45xp from Hypertherm are both 45 amp systems. The Hypertherm can pierce 1/2" (with no issues, just follow the pierce height and pierce delay listed in the operator manual. The Hypertherm power supply has a higher output voltage at its rated duty cycle (when cutting 5/8") than the Razorweld....so if cutting on a hot day and cutting large parts you will not run into duty cycle issues. Further, the 45xp has some patented technology in its torch, including conical flow technology that uses the outside shape of the nozzle combined with the inside shape of the shield to inject the shield cooling air flow just downstream of the nozzle orifice. This technology increases energy density and improves nozzle orifice cooling. These things combine improve edge squareness, cut speed, and nozzle life. The Razorcuts use a copy of an older Hypertherm style torch that does not use the newer patented technology. A little more expensive to buy the Hypertherm, lower cost to operate (figure longer consumable life, less required secondary work to the parts you are cutting.
Great videos. I also run a razor cut 45 on my cnc. I’m struggling with anything over 6mm. What pierce and cut height are you running ? What size tips? Cheers
@@Curtis_Schwoeppe_Enterprises thank you. I’ll be in the shed today so will keep trying. Thanks for your videos, it’s great to see how other people setup their razor cut 45. Keep making videos.
Not sure how it relates to a razorweld but hypertherm 45xp cuts at 18ipm on the slowest reccomended speed. I bet you could speed up just a tad and get rid of some of that dross. Did you predrill the pierce?
Your not the first person to mention this. Hypertherm speeds seem to be almost 2x faster than my razorcut. I have tried Hypertherm book settings and the razorcut cant keep up. It ends up losing arc.
@@Curtis_Schwoeppe_Enterprises Yes, the Razorcut is a good plasma cutter but it's not a Hypertherm. Hypertherm are, by far, the highest recommended plasma for any table or automated use.

The part looks awesome. I really wanted the XR but will not have the capabilities to lift heavy sheets and plates steel.

Pierce height is .120 cutting at .060 standard tip. The thicker the metal the longer the pierce delay.

What was your pierce height and pierce delay on this .
Sweet!
What was Pierce delay?
I predrilled start hole. No pierce delay needed

The Razorcut 45 recommended cut speed on 1/2" is 18 ipm.

Where are you getting your recommended cut speed information from. Mine will not cut at that speed.

@@Curtis_Schwoeppe_Enterprises Right out of the 45 spec sheet. I am the branch manager of a welding supply company
