Below are some pictures of the new cartridge design (I have no idea if this will be final or if/when it will be released by Hypertherm) alongside the recently released SYNC model. I am searching for my notes but have a pretty confident idea of what this cartridge has cut: in 10 gauge ~1,100 pierces and ~5,000 inches and in 14 gauge ~740 pierces and 4,050 inches.
Total that's right around 2,000 pierces and 9,000 inches cut. So counted as inches, that's a little over half a penny per cut inch or if you go by pierces, 3 cents per pierce.
Comparison of a new beta, worn out beta, and what is available now. I gave up cutting with it on thicker material because it was constant ohmic errors.
