Found a plasma cutter on craigslist for $500 which on the surface sounds like a good deal. It is a Mac Model# PCA120 OCC edition that has seen maybe 5 hours of work total. Here are my questions:
1. Mac does not list this on it's web site and I believe it is actually a Miller unit but Mac only sold it for about 5 months so I am wondering why it was dropped so quickly.
2. It has 3.5 years left of a 5 year warranty so I am not sure what happens after that.
3. Will consumables be available?
4. It runs off of CO25(?) which I hear is a very expensive way to go. Supposedly there is a converter out there for it to switch it over to shop air but I cannot find it at the Mac web site. Can this be done affordably, and does it affect the operation of the cutter?
Anyone who knows anything would be greatly appreciated, maybe a Mac tool guy.
Thanks
Pete
