How much does the Machitech Silver Cut 6x12 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Machitech Silver Cut 6x12 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Machitech Silver Cut 6x12 is the wider of the two short Silver Cut tables. Machitech prints its processing range as 78 in - 150 in (1,980 x 3,810 mm), and it is the largest Silver Cut that can still be ordered as a water table.
That combination matters for one kind of shop in particular. Water tables keep fume and noise down and hold thin sheet flatter against heat, and many fabricators of stainless and aluminum will not give them up. If the work also needs width, this is the size to buy, because the two longest Silver Cuts are downdraft only.
Compared with the Silver Cut 5x10 the frame is wider, 107 in (2,720 mm), and longer, 191 in (4,840 mm). Workpiece weight goes up to 4,410 lbs (2,000 kg) and machine weight to 3,800 lbs (1,720 kg). The height is the same 72 in (1,816 mm).
The XPR170 CorePlus is the plasma system the line is designed for, and the amperage row reads 170A, 200A, 45-125A. Servo motors drive all axes with zero backlash on self-cleaning V groove bearings. The results are 0.003 in (0.07 mm) positional accuracy, 0.002 in (0.05 mm) repeatability, 600 ipm (15,240 mm/min) in the cut and 1,000 ipm (25,400 mm/min) in rapid traverse. Maximum plate thickness is 1.5 in (38 mm) with 7.5 in (190 mm) of Z-axis clearance. Laser plate positioning and automatic torch height control are included. Pipe cutting for 1.6 to 8 in diameter is optional.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Machitech prints it as 78 in - 150 in (1,980 x 3,810 mm). Workpiece weight is rated at 4,410 lbs (2,000 kg) and maximum plate thickness at 1.5 in (38 mm).
02
Yes. Its table type is water or downdraft. It is the larger of the two sizes offered with water; the Silver Cut 5x20 and Silver Cut 6x20 are downdraft only.
03
Total width is 107 in (2,720 mm), total length 191 in (4,840 mm), total height 72 in (1,816 mm). Machine weight is 3,800 lbs (1,720 kg) with standard equipment, without plasma source or options.
04
Manual bevel, pneumatic scribing, oxyfuel cutting with a choice of fuel and pipe cutting for 1.6 to 8 in diameter. ProNest 2025 is available as an option in place of the standard ProNest LT.
