Review on ⚡️ Forney Easy Weld 251 20 P Plasma Cutter: Efficient Green Power, 20 Amp for Precision Cutting by Michael Jennings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for thin, slow cuts. Nothing more.

We bought this machine, like many others, hoping to find a cheap plasma cutter for the rare occasion we need one. The device was nicely packaged, has good accessories and looks very well assembled. had trouble starting with a 10 gauge, a short extension, or connecting directly to 110v. It stopped after two or three inches of a very slow cut. So instead we plugged it directly into a 30 amp outlet and tried cutting 14 gauge steel again. He cut off four or five inches and then stopped. We have adjusted the feed speed, tension and correct wire size etc. I have asked for assistance to review our cutting technique, standard angles, etc. for plasma cutting. We are right. In the end we got it back. and will be replacing it with a larger, more powerful device that unfortunately cannot cut 110v. As a side note, we used it to cut 14-gauge corten steel in a shipping container.
