Plasma Cutter?

[bugmanjr]

Does anyone know anything about these low priced plasma cutters on ebay?
Good or Bad?

I don't know about that one but at only 40 amp @ 220V 1/4 inch thick metal will be max on the good day.

Common plasma cutters range from 25- 80 amps and $800- $3500 for a 80 amp Lincoln.
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.

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.
