Everlast plasma?

My 45 has an obviously burnt Thyristor on the main board. I spent weeks dealing with your warranty guys and they were blunt. No can help.. It was about 60 days out of warranty when it blew while cutting 1/8" diamond plate at 40 amps with 65# of air. A 1/2 price board would have been a nice jesture ( still would ) especially since nearly all other brands have better warranty than Hypertherm. It's too late now.. That was several months back. I doubt if You could do anything to help anyway.. Why would you even ask?

He's asking because he doesn't want the bad publicity of an unhappy owner posting his experience online. Let him fix it for you, LOL.

Not at all correct. We leave everything open, even on the corporate Facebook and online forums. There are always some end users with bad experiences....if you post about a Hypertherm it remains open for the world to see. It is likely that we cannot do anything to help yomax's situation, however I offered to take another look. No response yet....maybe he no longer has the unit..

It was a year ago. The unit is sitting on the shelf. Probably sell the torch off it and JUNK the rest.

Jim's offer sounds reasonable to me ...

When an olive branch is offered, I would accept it.

 

[jimcolt]

OK...your choice. I know a few people that would be interested in buying the whole system, as these are well worth the repair price. If you change your mind feel free to contact me.

This thing is in New Condition. I would like to know what it's worth.. That would speak volumes on here..

A Powermax600, which is a 40 amp air plasma, shielded torch technology, is (in excellent appearing and operating condition) worth between $1000 and $1400. I keep track of prices by watching some Craiglist listings....one just sold on NH Craigslist for $1250.....and from the photo it was pretty beat up. I have seen them advertised as low as $600.......and at that price they sell instantly.

For all the non-advertising you are doing, it sure seems like advertising. :laughing:

Why don't you contact the owners of TBN and discuss it?

 

[jimcolt]

Not quite sure what you are alluding to here...can you explain?

I think it's very refreshing that someone, anyone besides everlast and their shills, can add to the discussion here! Someone who is not pushing Chinese junk down the gullets of the unsuspecting ... and unaware ..
