Customer service has worked really hard to make it right for me and shipped the part, second day air.
At the end I feel they deserve a five star for their commitment. I would come back to them again for the future welder machine needs.
About the machine itself - I'd say say you cannot go wrong. Any tool can occasionally break, but what matters at the end is the customer support.
Update 10/1: after less than 30 days of ownership - machine broke.
About a week back, the plasma cutter stopped working - pilot arc went dead and no arc, Except if scratching.
Called support on a Saturday evening, and was told that on Monday they will ship me a new torch part
Is now Thursday evening and no indication of part being shipped to me.
Basically the thing has lasted less than one project and expected support is not what was promised.
Returned it today, despite wanting to love it.
--- Initial review ---
This is a review following my real world cutting experience of a sheet of 17FT of 1/4" steel.
This is the first plasma torch I ever used or owned. Previously I watched some youtube videos with them.
I decided to pull the trigger on this plasma cutter, when my steel supplier for a landscaping project quoted me about $500 extra to cut me two rectangular triangles of 195" x 30".
I used a 3.9 SCFM@90PSI Makita compressor and ran the current at 50A (max), using a solid 220V outlet wired directly into main panel. I used two clampmeters to measure the actual DC current going thorough plasma torch. A Fluke and a Craftsman - one said 42A, the other said 47A. Perhaps the truth was in the middle. Say 45A, while setting was at 50. Not a big deal.
I did cut in perhaps 2ft increments with a 30 sec pause in between so I can reposition myself to the plat being cut.
It took me about 20 minutes to cut the whole sheet (~17FT length), with pretty good results. My travel speed was at times a bit too fast so the cut was not completely through (user error), so I had to do a second pass at some places.
At any rate - I got the plate cut the way I need it, and next step is welding.
I am new to stick welding as well and tried the stick welding function of the the machine also. I can do decent MIG welds, but stick is yet to be mastered. I am sure I will get to a decent level with this machine as well.
Overall I am very pleased with the machine for the little time I owned it. The three year warranty shall be good enough. Just make sure you do not expose it to rain or metal dust, as this is an inverter machine more sensible than a transformer one.
Update:9/12 - Have got to the point to lay a nice stick weld bead, i used 3/32 on 120v and 1/8 on 1/8 7018, 6011. I am no welder, but I can make some plates stick together now! I burned through about 3 lbs of sticks today with no issue and without hitting the over-current limiter
Good Luck!
