The Equipment – Hypertherm powermax 1000

General Guidelines



Rated duty cycle is 40%. PLEASE do not abuse this.



Translates to 4 minutes of actual cutting for every 10 of “use”



Time a “dry run” to see how long your design will take to cut



Minimum recommended material thickness will be 1/8” until we advise that Z-Axis auto
height control is operable.



Maximum recommend material thickness: being mechanized for CNC

reduces

recommended

capacity to 3/8” cut (“clean”), 1/2” max (“sever”) (p39 in User Manual)



Material to be cut (stock) should be flat to avoid the torch hitting the material or the cut
malfunctioning



Attach the ground clamp directly to the stock for best cut quality
