    WTB: Hypertherm Plasma Cutter - Powermax 45/45xp or 65

    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.

    Shake my head sometimes

    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.
