My hypertherm 1000 manual had a section on where to jumper for voltage outputs. You may want to check yours and see if it is in there.

If I had to do it all over again I would probably go with the dynacnc. I would get servos for sure. Mine just can't keep up with the quality that the servo machines can get. Mostly due to the ability...

I was talking about 1/2" and above. It does a good job on 1/4" stuff. Here are some parts I cut from 3/16" steel:

I mostly use it for sheetmetal...

I have the hypertherm powermax 1000 g3 and I agree with what was said above. Good at straight line, not so good at small circles and curves on thick stuff.

I had never seen that site before, those are pretty nice. A lathe is really the only good way to make these. I made some plugs a long time ago and could never find a good way to seal them. They need...

I built my own out of wood. I wanted to do parts that are 26" long and the only ones at the local cheap tool store were over $700. I have about $110-120 into it and its 4'x2'x2' inside. I used 2x4's...

If your looking for something that will take abuse, stay away from eBay. The aluminum extrusion tables will not take any kind of abuse. I sure wouldn't try putting a full sheet of 1/2" on one. Socal...

Exactly which one are you looking at? I have one of them that is commonly found on eBay.

I've been doing some searching.... and found this on torchmates website.

It shows the taper I was talking about on small holes. The 3/8" plate picture...

Strange. Anyone have pictures of something 1/2" thick that they have cut 1/2" holes in? Mine will measure in at about .5" on the top side of the hole and the bottom measures in at about .3". I just...

Its about 5 months old. It may very well be ok for what you are doing. I was wanting to cut parts that had holes with a diameter less than half inch. That is what it seems to have a problem with. I...

I am using the hand torch. I think it is a T60(?) torch if I remember correctly. If I had to do it all over I probably would have gone with the machine torch because it is much easier to align the...

I am using a hypertherm 1000 on my table and it seems to have a real hard time making good cuts on 1/2" mild steel. The kurf simply tapers off too much at the bottom to make anything usable at that...

I made a vibratory tumbler a while back when I got real bored. I had a bunch of stuff laying around and just threw it together. While its no industrial machine its good for polishing up odds and ends...

I'll see if i can find one of the programs we output when I'm at work. It was outputting some really strange stuff. It output multiple axis stuff, even when we only specify an x and z. It would put...

If you go to file>new and it has the option for new manufacturing file, you should be set. If it doesn't say manufacturing as a type of file then you will probably need an extention. I have...

The shop i work in bought an SL-20 about 4 months ago, and we have still not been able to get a post processor from PTC. We've called PTC and Haas and neither have been able to help us. Haas told us...
