Cutmaster 52 or Powermax 30 xp

[Twisted56]

I have the option of either machine for same price. I'm a home hobbyist, mostly 1/4" to 3/8", but occasionally 1/2". My Hypertherm 380 died after 10 years. I have 30 amp 220 in garage....will this be enough?

Raw power vs Portability. Which do you need more?

 

[Twisted56]

Probably the power over portabilily.

Powermax, no question.

I have a powermax 45 and love it. Have cut 5/8 with it no problem. One of my main deciding factors when It came time to purchase was that I would like to go cnc plasma one day and the 45 has a cnc interface

30 XP is an awesome machine......so much so one of my cheapest cheap azz friends bought one but if you can swing it get a Powermax 45, you'll be glad you did
