Default Re: cheap plasma cutter

I got a kit with 85 extra consumables coming I bought on ebay for $20 if the order didn't get blown up in china.Yes your right any cutting job you put off is a real snap with the plasma cutter.Did not want to spend $600-$800 but the $200 was a real incentive.Went to south jersey welding supply this a.m. to fill my 20 lb co2 tank for my soda stream rig and seen how much the miller,lincolns and hypertechs cost.Great machines if you have a shop but whole bunch of money if you are a amateur fabricator.Actually got a 3/4 piece from Mr. Chevy to try. It will cut it if you go slow,or go faster and make a second pass.He also had a piece of aluminum to try and it didn't melt or distort it just cut it like a hot knife thru butter.I am sure you know but it is a lot of fun when you first get the machine and are amazed at how well it works.
