Title: Plasma Cutter? Post by: bugmanjr on December 10, 2006, 08:13:45 PM Does anyone know anything about these low priced plasma cutters on ebay?

Don't know about that one , didn't notice a brand on it . Some of those relatively inexpensive units are made in China and the quality is questionable on some. The price is an attention getter but I would rather stick with a well know make like a Hobart,Lincoln, Miller or a Century , can't go wrong with these. Title: Re: Plasma Cutter? Post by: HondaATC on December 11, 2006, 07:39:16 PM I have a 40amp Thermadyne plasma cutter (made by Thermal Arc) that will cut 1/2inch steel if you work at it. Won't cut much over 1/4 inch on aluminum without getting nasty though.
