full review and honest

I read all the reviews before buying it works it works as advertised I have an older model Hyperthem plasma cutter and have used other types and models from different companies this is not production equipment , don't expect the same level of production, I bought it for home use, small things, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum less than 1/8 inch thick, works fine, 3/16 up, you'll have to take your time, don't try, to archive them like other machines. Didn't work, I played with the air pressure and the machine settings didn't differ much. But if you are looking for a small machine that works, want to use it at home for hobbies or small projects then this machine is for you, lower cost than others plus no gas or hose costs, regulators etc. Conclusion: test it when you get it, it's a good system for the price, (update) keep a wire brush handy, about every 2nd cut hits the tip with the wire brush, I've found that this (while the tip is still hot) it prolongs the tip life. The slag blown off the metal rods appears to stick to the tip, causing the tip and electrodes to fail. Try the gel mixture on the tip to see if that solves the problem. The product does not bear a stamp, mark or label of the country of origin. on topic. Don't go in until the warranty is up but it's an import. Problems I've found 1. Ground path to a short, I won't fix it after the warranty expires.2. The ground clamp (weak) will not fix it well after warranty expired.3. Air line (replace) 70 pounds of air on this thing and it won't stand the heat. Buy an extra stand, I cut a lot and the original is history. (Update) The gap is too short, close to the material. If you are looking for a replacement that fits your cup size, the Hyperthem Stand Off product will not work with these tips. The cut is big, wide, I can cut finer lines with a gas torch and a 000.6 tip. Buy extra consumables, this thing eats them up, I bought 40 off Amazon. I have used 2 complete sets in the last month. 2 cups, 2 tips and 2 intermediate electrodes. Make sure you buy the ones that are appropriate for the system you are purchasing. LT vs. LLC
