This model is no longer supported by Hypertherm, consumables are no longer available but I'm thinking a newer style gun can be modified to fit. Even of it ends up being junk the small compressor has use as an air bubbler when precipitating metals, such as silver nitrate with copper.

I'll have th check what the duty cycle is for the compressor.

That huge toroid coil would have value to those hobbyists that play with high voltage toys such as Tesla experimented with.

If Cyberdan had stuck this thread out he would have learned how to read a schematic such as the one found on the inside cover of this machine.









The Hypertherm 190C will cut 1/8" all day long and do a severance cut on 1/4" it will operate from a small generator capable of 120 volts with a 20 amp circuit. It'd be my guess this machine was removed from service due to the lack of obtaining the nessesary consumables.

Lookie what I found,
