This question is aimed at Jim Colt from Hypertherm, but if any body has an HD3070 and has installed the new upgrade kit, let me know what you think of the increase in performance.
I have been looking at the HSD130, but am wondering if buying a used HD3070 power supply and installing the torch upgrade kit and new leads would be a cost effective alternative. The used machine supposedly has low hours on it, but it is used, and the lack of warranty could pose problems down the road. I bought a used Powermax 900 five years ago, and other than replacing the hand torch has nver given us any problems and gets lots of use.
Will the HD3070 require special add-ons like remote and ATHC that are no longer available?
Any advice will be appreciated.
