OVERVIEW

Unleash Superior Cutting Speed with the Hypertherm Powermax 85

Take your metal fabrication projects to the next level with the Hypertherm Powermax 85 Plasma System. This powerhouse machine is designed for welders who demand speed, precision, and ease of use. The 087109 package comes ready to work with a comfortable Duramax 75-degree hand torch and a 25-foot lead, giving you the freedom to move around your shop or job site. With 85 amps of cutting power, you can slice through 1-inch thick steel with ease, and even sever up to 1.5 inches when necessary. It is the ideal upgrade for professionals moving up from smaller units, offering significantly faster cut speeds—up to 250% faster than oxyfuel on 1/2-inch mild steel.

What makes the Powermax 85 a favorite among welders is its simplicity and intelligence. You don't need to be a plasma expert to get perfect cuts. The Smart Sense technology automatically sets the correct air pressure based on your operating mode, ensuring you always have the optimal settings for the job. The SpringStart technology ensures consistent arc starting every single time, eliminating the frustration of hard-to-start torches. Plus, the drag-cutting technology allows you to drag the torch tip directly on the workpiece at full output without sticking, making it incredibly easy for beginners to trace templates or follow straight edges for precise cuts.

Versatility is at the heart of the Powermax 85. Beyond standard cutting, this machine is an excellent tool for gouging welds and removing old brackets. The FastConnect system allows you to swap out the hand torch for a machine torch or a robotic torch in seconds, future-proofing your investment should you decide to add a CNC table later. The Duramax torch is built to last, and Hypertherm's consumables are engineered to last longer than the competition, saving you money in the long run. Whether you are building custom trailers, repairing heavy equipment, or creating metal art, the Powermax 85 gives you the power to cut with confidence.
