When shopping laser plasma waterjet cutting equipment, the first decision is not simply which listing costs more: it is whether you need a plasma cutter, a cutter configured around a CNC package, or a torch-height-control component for a plasma table. The four choices here divide clearly around that role, with three new plasma cutters and one dedicated CNC torch height controller.
Quick take
The listed range runs from $195 to $1,269, but the lowest-priced entry is a Dani THC controller rather than a complete plasma cutter. Among the Everlast machines, the key distinctions are the 60-amp versus 80-amp titles, the stated electrical information on the PowerPlasma 62i, and whether the title expressly identifies a CNC package and CNC torch. Start with the role your setup calls for, then use the price as a second filter.
Listed-price comparison
| Model | Listed price | Price position |
|---|---|---|
| Everlast PowerPlasma 82i | USD 1,269.00 | |
| Everlast PowerPlasma 62i | USD 999.00 | |
| Everlast PowerPlasma 62i CNC Package | USD 1,249.00 | |
| Dani THC Torch Height Controller | USD 195.00 |
Decision matrix
- Higher-amperage cutter: The PowerPlasma 82i is the 80-amp entry. The two PowerPlasma 62i versions are titled as 60-amp cutters.
- Named electrical setup: The standard PowerPlasma 62i specifies a 220/240V, 1-phase power source and 33-amp input amperage.
- CNC-focused configuration: The PowerPlasma 62i CNC Package is explicitly named with an iPTM-60 CNC torch, and its description calls out a CNC port and CNC torch.
- Torch-height-control outputs: The Dani THC7SUD is named as a plasma CNC torch height controller with Up, Down, and Arc On outputs.
Product notes
Everlast PowerPlasma 82i
Choose the PowerPlasma 82i when an 80-amp plasma cutter is the central requirement. Its title also names an IPT-80 torch and a CNC option, while the attributes identify it as a new, 1-phase Everlast plasma cutter made in the United States. The description highlights digitally controlled circuitry and a digital air-pressure gauge, giving this machine a control-focused feature set on paper. The limitation is straightforward: it carries the highest listed price in this group, and its title says CNC option rather than identifying a complete CNC package with a CNC torch.
Everlast PowerPlasma 62i
The PowerPlasma 62i suits a shopper seeking the standard 60-amp cutter configuration with an IPT-60 torch. Its stated 220/240V, 1-phase power source and 33-amp input amperage make it the clearest choice here when those electrical details need to be part of the comparison. It is also priced below both the 82i and the 62i CNC Package. For a specifically CNC-centered purchase, however, the title stops at "CNC Option"; the separate PowerPlasma 62i CNC Package is the listing that expressly names the iPTM-60 CNC torch and package format.
Everlast PowerPlasma 62i CNC Package
Pick the PowerPlasma 62i CNC Package when the goal is a plasma-table-oriented cutter rather than a standard cutter with CNC wording in its title. This new Everlast model is expressly presented as a CNC-only package, with a CNC port and iPTM-60 CNC torch described as part of the package. The description also states recommended 3/8-inch regular cuts, maximum clean cuts up to 3/4 inch at reduced speeds, and piercing up to 5/16 inch. Its tradeoff is price positioning: it sits close to the PowerPlasma 82i while retaining the 60-amp designation.
Dani THC Torch Height Controller
The Dani THC Torch Height Controller is the focused choice for a plasma-table control component with Up, Down, and Arc On outputs. It is a new Dani THC unit, identified by model number Dani THC7SUD and country of origin Bulgaria. Its description explains that it measures cutting-torch voltage as torch-to-plate distance changes, which aligns with the torch-height-controller role named in the title. The important limitation is scope: this is a controller for CNC torch-height functions, not one of the three listed plasma cutters. Its lower listed price reflects that different equipment role.
Final recommendation by use case
- For the higher-output plasma cutter route: choose the Everlast PowerPlasma 82i.
- For a standard 60-amp cutter with stated input details: choose the Everlast PowerPlasma 62i.
- For a CNC table-oriented cutter package: choose the Everlast PowerPlasma 62i CNC Package.
- For Up, Down, and Arc On torch-height-control outputs: choose the Dani THC Torch Height Controller.
The most direct comparison is between the three Everlast cutters. The Dani THC7SUD belongs in the decision only when a CNC torch-height controller is the actual item needed.
