Where to purchase Hypertherm plasma cutter consumables.

[Dan_69GTX]

Anyone have a recommendation for a good place to purchase Hypertherm plasma cutter consumables?

My local store stocks a few things, can order other stuff, but is a lot more money than Amazon or other online places.

One place I see is www.weldersupply.com but ....is that a good place?

I see there are quite a few websites that sell the stuff, but want to make sure I get REAL Hypertherm parts, not some cheap knockoffs.

I'm looking for parts for a 45XP.

Thanks!

Dan

Just checked Hypertherm dealers in my area using the Hypertherm website....all three of the welding supply houses here are dealers including Matheson Tri-Gas and Airgas...do you have access to either of those guys??

Airgas is a huge chain.

Yes, Airgas is the local welding store. They want more than their online price. Go figure.

Their prices for machines are less than online - so I've got no problem buying from them for the big ticket items, but the consumables are too high.

Just tried Matheson for a website, they don't sell the unit online but do sell some parts...don't know if pricing is any better...

Thank you for that link. I’ll check it tomorrow. I’m bushed.

I like giving local the business, but when we’re talking about $100 difference from what I see online, and it is a hobby, I can’t justify that.

Tweaked the search a bit..

Well, I ordered 3 consumable kits from Weldersupply.com. Hopefully they are all OEM Hypertherm and will arrive in good condition. Saved over $150 from there vs local.

I played with the plasma this weekend - I shoulda bought one years ago. Very pleased with the performance. Of course I don't really have any other plasma to compare to besides the one I used a while ago.

They have a "flushcut" kit that allows you to cut off bolt heads, etc and not hurt the base material. Sounds good for those bushing bolts that always rust in place. . That is one of the kits I ordered.

On my list.

Plasma is the coolest thing since sliced bread.

Got them on Friday - All OEM. I'm happy.
