Plasma Cutter on its way!!

[Mace]

I took my wife over to a friends house yesterday to cut some suspension pieces out on his plasma.

3/8" plate and cut like butter..

She was instantly impressed at the quality of the cuts and how quickly they happen.

So, she decided to get me a plasma for xmas


I'll be picking it up next week in Phoenix..

Can't wait to get it running..


This is where I am getting it from

I have wanted a plasma for a while. But, they cost too much.

Since the chineese ones have suddenly become so prevalient on the market and they are actually fairly functional units the price decrease has made them very worthwile.

I'll take pics when I go and pick it up. Parkermetalworks actually takes them out of the box and verifies that they are in perfect working order before sending them out. So, Paul Jr will have mine set up and ready to go when I pick it up.

1 year mechanical and 3 year electronics warranty

Is this Similar to the Mi-Tech Plasma Cutters on Pirate??

 

[Mace]

Very similar..

The only real difference I can tell is that the guys selling these are making sure they function perfectly before sending them out.

Seabass on pirate just got one of these and is fully pleased with it.

what's the price difference? i did not see a price on that site


i found it. wow that is cheap

I got a good deal on a Miller Spectrum 2050 a few years ago. Don't really use enough to justify having it but when I do use it - its amazing how easily it cuts. Now I've convinced myself that I also need a CNC setup for it! Cost is probably going to kill that idea though.

Are the Plasma Tec consumables hard to come by? or do they interchange with other brands?

 

[Poser]

They are very handy.


Purchased my ESAB 750 back in 1996 and it has worked great.



Have fun!
