Yes, the plan is to get a [https://www.hypertherm.com/en-US/hypertherm/powermax/powermax45-xp/ HyperTherm PowerMax 45XP] as part of the package. The existing machine has been obsolete for many years and when I last turned it on, it was throwing errors that would likely require it to be repaired, which while possible, still leaves us with a machine that is less capable than the newer model. | Yes, the plan is to get a [https://www.hypertherm.com/en-US/hypertherm/powermax/powermax45-xp/ HyperTherm PowerMax 45XP] as part of the package.

===So I gotta relearn everything about how to use the machine?=== | |||
You and me both. The plan is to create a Canvas course for both learning as well as reference so we don't have to rely on the "special tricks" the current machine was full of (e.g. tricking Mach to continue a job after a torch touch-off failure. Didn't know about that one weird trick? Not a lot of people did and it was situation-dependent). | |||
