OverviewThe Powermax30® XP is a highly portable 30-amp plasma cutter designed for a wide range of jobs. It features a unique "two-in-one" design that provides high-power capability for thick metal cutting and FineCut® consumables for detailed, thin metal cutting. It cuts any electrically conductive metal including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and it can also gouge metal. The system offers dual-voltage capability: it operates on 240 V and can be plugged into a standard household 120 V socket.
Applications- Drag cutting — for dragging the torch directly across the work piece
- Extended reach cutting — for improved visibility and accessibility when cutting in confined spaces
- Extended reach gouging — for improved visibility and accessibility when gouging in confined spaces
- Fine feature cutting — narrow kerf width with minimal dross and heat affected zone
- Mechanized cutting — for portable automation and table cutting
Unsupported applications- Flush cutting — intended for cutting closer to base materials using a 45° angle (unsupported for this model)
- Max control gouging — for precise metal removal, shallower gouge profiles and light metal washing (use other Powermax models)
- Max removal gouging — for aggressive metal removal and deep gouge profiles (use other Powermax models)
