Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fantastic for what it is!

I bought this plasma cutter for my workshop and as far as I can tell it's fantastic. I've used it on 120v and 240v and so far it's handled everything I've thrown at it, from 26 gauge to 1/2 inch steel. I also cut 3/8" aluminum with it and as far as I can tell it will do for anything I ever do with it. I should also mention that I forgot the ground wire on the piece I'm cutting and managed to cut a 3/8" thick 1.5" x 1.5" corner before I could tell the difference noticed and barely noticed. The pilot arc works. fantastic for cutting paint and rust. Also, I've got at least 20 hours of cutting time and still haven't had to change consumables. It has post airflow with a 4T setting and works really well to extend the life Tip.I can't express how convenient this is and how I wish I had had it sooner.PS: This is not a paid review.just a very happy customer.UPDATE: 1 year of useAfter 1 year of use, I can say that I am still love this machine. At the moment I've tried different brands of consumables but to say the least this is a BEAST! I've had rust, scale, paint and even my glove with it (my own stupid mistake) removed. The pilot arc is incredible. Separately, I would like to note two things that I have not considered. ike about this car. First, the grounding clamp is extremely cheap. It was an easy fix, just buy a good one. Second, the AMP handle is inaccurate. Sometimes he wants to jump up and down when rotated. Well, that being said, once it's set, it'll be kept where the display is. I keep mine at 53 amps. As for people complaining that it doesn't turn off immediately after pressing the switch, I can safely say that it only does so when the insides are hot. and as soon as it cools down, the device switches off automatically.

Pros
  • Welders
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
