The Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 60iX represents the latest iteration in the 60-amp plasma cutting category, engineered by ESAB/Thermal Dynamics to address the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication and maintenance. This unit features a high-output inverter design capable of delivering 60 amps of cutting power, optimized for a recommended cut capacity of 5/8 inch (16 mm) and a maximum severance of 1-1/2 inches (38 mm). The "iX" designation signifies internal enhancements over the previous 60i model, including improved power efficiency, a more robust chassis design, and updated internal components for greater reliability.
One of the defining characteristics of this specific package (SKU 1-5631-1X) is the inclusion of the SL60QD 1Torch with a 50-foot lead. The "QD" stands for Quick Disconnect, a feature that separates the torch handle from the lead. This modularity significantly reduces maintenance costs; if a torch head is damaged, it can be replaced independently of the long lead. Conversely, the lead can be swapped for different lengths without discarding the handle. The 50-foot reach provided in this configuration is particularly advantageous for large-scale structural work, construction sites, or shipyard applications where the power source cannot be moved easily.
The machine operates on a wide input voltage range of 208 to 480V, single-phase, with automatic voltage detection, eliminating the need for manual rewiring. This flexibility ensures compatibility with various shop power supplies and generator outputs. The unit also features a gas optimizer mode that precisely regulates air pressure for optimal cut quality and consumable life. The front panel interface is designed for visibility and ease of use, displaying error codes and status indicators clearly.
Weighing approximately 37 lbs (16.8 kg), the Cutmaster 60iX maintains portability without sacrificing durability. The roll-bar cage protects the internal components and front panel from impact damage, a common occurrence in field environments. For MRO professionals, the combination of high severance capacity, long-reach torch technology, and multi-voltage capability makes this system a versatile asset for cutting mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
