Hypertherm full-system warranty complete coverage for

two years on all system components and one year on the torch.
Enhanced serviceability and reduced part count provide
a simple, robust design.

Note: Take care in comparison: Competitors often show maximum cutting speeds,
rather than speeds that deliver the best cuts, as shown above. Cut speeds listed
above deliver best cut quality, but cut speeds can be up to 50% faster.
The operating data chart does not list all processes available for the HPR130.
