🎯 Ideal Applications:

Best For:

1. ✅ CNC plasma table cutting (maximum-duty)
2. ✅ Automated mechanized cutting on thickest materials
3. ✅ Heavy industrial production environments
4. ✅ Structural steel fabrication (heavy plate)
5. ✅ Material thickness: 3/8" to 3/4" (10-20mm)
6. ✅ Maximum cutting capacity on Powermax platform

Material Thickness Guide:

1. Optimal Range: 10 mm - 20 mm (3/8" - 3/4")
2. Sweet Spot: 5/8" - 3/4" (16-20mm) thick material
3. Below 10mm (3/8"):- Overkill for thin material- Consider 45A, 65A, or 85A cartridges- More economical for thinner stock
4. At 20mm (3/4"):- At maximum recommended thickness- Best speed and quality at top end- Maximum capacity for Powermax 105
5. Above 20mm (3/4"):- Exceeds optimal range- Significant speed decrease- Consider higher-capacity systems
6. Exceeding optimal range:- Decreases cutting speed dramatically- Reduces cut quality- May shorten cartridge life
