I have a stainless job coming up, and saw some pictures on the net of stainless cut with a hxp130? using f5/n2 to cut stainless. Perfect cut, not discolored. I have a hsd 130, not hy def, but can use the same gases.
I cant afford the multi-gas console right now, so can i plug f5/n2 in place of o2 /air directly in my machine?
Thank you

No, you need the gas consle to properly mix the gases, as well as to keep explosive gases out of the power supply.
