Nice there are companies out there that will upgrade older machines,and not just hook you into a new one.kudos to them for making a long lasting machine!

That HP 1000 is a beast of a machine. We at the welding school had the 85, max cut up to 1" plate. HP has the longest lasting consumables in the industry IMHO, and experience. You can be cutting the "BIG IRON" with that baby...thanks for posting brought back memories of teaching for me!

Now to make an extension cord for the ground lead.

Hi Jay, I thought that was a nice touch from Hypertherm to proved the sticker to update the casing with the new torch setup... thanks for sharing... Take care Paul,,

Same here, says a lot about the company when they attend to the details

Can never have a torch too long or welding leads too long. They might get to be a hassle to fool with but they sure are worth their weight in gold when you need them to reach!

Nice unit James. I need one. Thanks.

Yes you do

I also have the HP1000, it’s been really good to me. I’m using the machine torch for CNC cutting. Still using the old style consumables though. I am concerned about the future availability of these parts. But I am retired now and it becomes more difficult to justify the cost of upgrading. I’ve seen the import parts on eBay. Has anyone tried them? I’m not looking to cut hypertherm out of any business, just pondering an alternative should the genuine parts dry up. Cheers!

Import consumables? I have not tried them.

why did you change it? I have a 600 that is acting like the work lead is not connected. I am happy to pay for a RT60 , but I won't be too happy if it doesn't fix it. please give me advice.

Now if I could only retro- fit a Hypertherm torch to a 100 Amp Miller 1250
