I picked this up because I wanted to use it for multiple projects. It's very easy to set up and I love the fact that it has two power options. Not all places have 220 volts and 110 is ideal for thinner metals. It cut through 1/4 of the steel with no problem and was very fast. it just wasn't possible. At this price you can complain because it works and will save you a lot of money and will disappoint you over time. If you do small farm jobs or like working with small implements, I would recommend this cutter. This is not an everyday plasma cutter, but for small jobs. , it will work like a charm.
