A: Yes. Unlike the Powermax 30 AIR, the 33 XP requires an external compressed air supply for cutting operations.
Q: What is the maximum cutting capacity of the Powermax 33 XP?
A: The recommended cutting thickness is 10 mm (3/8″), with a maximum clean cut of 12 mm (1/2″), and severance capability up to 16 mm (5/8″) on mild steel.
Q: What power supply does it require?
A: The Powermax 33 XP supports dual-voltage input (120V or 240V), making it flexible for use in a wide range of locations and job sites.
Q: How portable is the Powermax 33 XP?
