At the heart of the machine is an inverter power block, designed for high-cycle operation – 50% at a full 65 A at 40°C. This is a viable industrial parameter for efficient production cutting. A key component is Boost Conditioner™ technology, which compensates for fluctuations in supply voltage (down to -15% for 400V), ensuring stable arc energy and consistent cut quality, which is critical when working in the field or on grids with lower stability. An idle voltage of 270 VDC ensures immediate and reliable arc ignition without excessive electrode wear.

The included Duramax® hand torch is a tool that gives the operator full control over the cutting geometry. Its design is based on Conical Flow™ nozzle technology, which increases arc energy density, resulting in less slag and a narrower cutting gap. A manual 4-piece consumable stack allows for informed component selection (e.g., FineCut® nozzles for thin sheets) and optimized operating costs. Fail-safe arc (spring-loaded electrode) system ensures reliable ignition and minimizes the risk of torch damage upon accidental contact with the material.

The robustness of the Powermax 65 comes from a thoughtful design philosophy. A distinctive gray chassis with a fiery red logo and accents of sturdy black plastic conceals an optimized Wind Tunnel Technology™ cooling system. Key electronic components are isolated from the cooling airflow, drastically reducing the deposition of dust and metal filings – a major cause of failure in a workshop environment. This solution, combined with the quality of the components, is the foundation for the legendary reliability of these units.
