Yes, it has torch height control. There is a port on the 1200 that a DIN plug wires into and this controls the firing of the torch. The trigger circuit is different for the machine torch. If you were using a hand torch, You can unhook the small black and white wires from the purple trigger wire...

When you have a belt flutter like that, the other thing that happens if you run it long enough, is that the pulley itself wears oval because at the high side of the bounce the belt will slip under heavy load. New link belts, new sheave, problem gone.

You will be happy with Hypertherm. I have the Powermax 1200, and on my table I use an upgraded Duramax machine torch. I've been using it since 2006, and it just keeps on going trouble free.

You are right, you could do that with a 75hp motor. The motor will draw it's idle current, which may be 20-30 amps for a 75 horse though....I'm guessing on this. The fact is, you can use any single phase motor. Let's say you have a burned out pump, but the motor works, it wont pump. So take it...

You guys, rather stand on your heads to build something complex instead of using the field of an electric motor.:p

Mike, that is a good idea in every case with vfds.

They are all made in China, no matter what they claim, and Vevor is one of the cheapest and easiest to set up. Sort of like autodark helmets, tear down a Miller and see the printed circuit board numbers and mfg, and then tear down a Princess auto helmet...oops same components but 10% of the...

I found out the hard way that when a postal employee "inspects" your package and wants it, all they have to do is pay the Duty (tariff) and GST, and it is theirs. The union protects them and the post office refuses to release the card holders name.

It is a new liner, but is may be metric or something dumb. The tips that came with it were metric bore

I've been "researching" on yootube, and it seems that I may have the wrong size liner. Never even knew there were different sizes, so will talk to my welding supplier about it.

My drive is 100% metal, not like the 100% plastic one on the Lincoln. If you set it real loose, once it burns in to the tip, you have to unscrew the tip and feed out the wire and hope you can get it out of the tip. I want to stop the burnback, so running without the autoset is the answer.

YesWelder also carries a 12 and 15 ft for about $100

Oh, I thought it meant "Hungry":p

I do believe my adapters are threaded in Imperial as the drawbar is. My driving dogs are offset. The adapters look like the one on the right in your picture. Lagun is marketed in North America out of the USA, and as such may have some changes for the non metric crowd. I do like the 40 taper as...

It could be NMT40, I unscrewed the pull stud because my drawbar goes in that hole. The reason I think it is CAT40 is the mill is European, I have one driving ear removed, as it engages with one and the other interferes, because the spindle is a NMT. The Narex is a joy to use
