Water Table advantages:

• Less expensive to buy and run than vented tables
• Will not require a dust collector .
• Reduces noise as an air filtration system will cause a significant amount of noise while cutting.
• Reduces heat distortion and keeps parts cooler and this can be beneficial on thinner materials where warping is more of an issue. Parts are cooler to the touch which makes them easy to remove and use immediately.
• Better edge on some stainless steel parts.

Water Table Disadvantages:

• Them Machine complaints will rust.
• Increased edge roughness if Water splashes on the cut edge.
• Less productive – slower cutting speeds are needed.
• Difficult to keep clean .
• Water will freeze when cold.
• The water needs to be treated regularly with an anti-rust and anti fungal additive to avoid it becoming a health hazard.
• Cutting certain grades of aluminum on a water table can offer a significant safety risk. Plasma + Aluminium + Water = Hydrogen Explosion Hazard.

Downdraft Table advantages:

• Straight forward no water levels to check
• Better fume extraction
• Dust is usually collected in a drum or hopper for easy disposal –  there’s no pumping, no sludge.
• Maintenance time is minimal compared to a water table.
• Cut parts are ready to be used straight from the table with no time to wait for things to dry off.
• A downdraft table removes virtually all fume and particulate and as it’s a dry process there’s no splashing of water, which can create a slip hazard.
• A zoned downdraft table (optional on the Swift-Cut Pro and XP series) collects fumes and dust only where they are being produced and keeps all fumes contained to a small area, meaning the extraction fan or unit can be much smaller and more economical compared to on open downdraft table.

Downdraft Table disadvantages:

• More expensive to purchase than a water table – the cutting bed generally costs more, and you will need to purchase an extraction fan or filtration unit, as well as additional ducting.
• Depending on your business location, you may have to filter the air before it exits the building – filters can be expensive and will require changing once or twice a year.
• If you are wanting to avoid expensive filtration systems, the table will need to be sited near to an outside wall, which could be limiting in some building layouts.

Hypertherm Powermax45 XP, Powermax65/85/105 SYNC and Powermax125 for air plasma, plus X-Definition XPR170 and XPR300 systems for premium cut quality and productivity.

Mild steel, stainless and aluminium from thin sheet to heavy plate (model dependent). XPR systems deliver the highest cut quality across a wide range.

Water tables are cheaper, quieter and reduce heat distortion but need more maintenance and can cause rust; some aluminium grades present hydrogen risks in water. Downdraft tables provide cleaner extraction and low maintenance, though initial cost is higher and filtration may be required.

Yes. We supply gantries that combine plasma, oxy-fuel and drilling for flexible 2D/3D profiling.

Adequate extraction is essential. Follow local filtration rules, and assess hydrogen risk if cutting certain aluminium grades on water tables.

Yes — UK installation, commissioning and operator training are included, with a warranty and ongoing support from our in-house service team.
