Thermal Dynamics Plasma Cutter Cut Master 82

[Ed Williams]

Is Thermal Dynamics plasma cutter 82 ok to use on a cnc table or should I use the Hypertherm Power Max 1000? Hypertherm comes with a cnc connection and I think the Thermal Dynamics charges extra for a pcb. Wonder what the extra pcb cost. Which one is best to use.
Thanks Ed

What material and thicknesses are you looking to cut? Is it occasional use or high duty cycle/high production? What is more important to you.....purchase price or operating cost? What kind of cnc table, what type of torch height control?

Both systems will work on a cnc, but they have different cutting characteristics, power levels....so a little more info on what you will use these systems for will help!

It is on a 4'x4' table and of course I would like max cut. But looking for quality of cut too. I don’t have a high control I will have to get one.

Thanks Ed
