I had an old TD on my machine at first, it created a lot of noise that I couldnt get rid of. But if you got it, it might work for you. Worth a try.

Some of the earlier Century plasma's used high frequency start......then they switched to blowback start. If it is a HF start....it will be problematic on some cnc machines....without proper grounding as well as shielded wiring and cables.

A picture of the torch and the consumables will help me determine which type of start technology it has. Likely the torches are Hypertherm manufacturerd.
