I have a chance to buy a 600 for a reasonable price. Machine has less than 10 hours on it. Looks brand new. With it being a discontinued model I'm worried about a few things.
Can I get replacement parts for it? Not consumables, but things inside the box?
What would have to be done to make this thing remote fire for a plasma table install? And can I still get it?
Thanks

Re: Replacement parts for powermax 600?
There are about 55,000 Powermax 600's in use......all repair and replacement parts are available through any authorized Hypertherm dealer...and will be for many years to come!
There is an internal terminal strip that alloows you to wire that start signal easily to a cnc plasma machine. It is recommended that you use a machine torch for machine cutting. The newer technology Duramax torch (same torch as used on the newer Powermax65, 85 and 105) is available for the Powermax 600.

Thanks Jim.
I bought it Saturday. My son (16) spent the entire evening playing with it. It's another one of those things that I don't know how I managed without it.
Thanks again.

Hide all of your steel.....or you will turn it all into small pieces! You will like the 600, it was ahead of its time for sure!
