Worked great for this newbie

I'm not a professional welder. Actually, I'm a complete novice. Sometimes I tried my hand at welding, but each time I needed the help of an experienced welder and the use of his equipment. I have previously ordered a Reboot MIG Welder and worked successfully with it, so I ordered a Reboot plasma cutter to expand my skills. The kit is pretty complete and includes almost everything you need to start cutting. After simply assembling a few components, this torch is ready for plasma cutting. The build quality of this cutter and its attachments is pretty good. The display is easy to read and the indicator lights are bright enough to be seen in the welding helmet. I like the size of the welding machine. It's lightweight and compact. The main unit weighs less than 8.5 pounds without accessories, making it easy to carry. The voltage of 110 volts makes it a versatile plasma cutter. Although this is a 110 volt system, it is recommended that it be connected to a 50 amp circuit breaker. My welder friend helped me test the torch. Installing the cutting plotter is easy. After installing the included air pressure regulator and hose, selecting and installing the correct nozzle and electrode, and connecting the torch, ground clamp, and air supply, I was ready to cut. We tested the cutter with a 1/8" mild steel blade and a 1/8" stainless steel blade. The cut quality and cut speed were surprisingly good for my experienced friend, although my attempts at making quality cuts have been poor due to my inexperience. We haven't used the cutter long enough to rate its duty cycle, but of course it will vary based on a variety of factors. As an inexpensive entry-level plasma cutter, this is an amazing addition to my workshop.
