    Colossal Tech Cut 50 plasma can be found under $400 and according to a youtube video, it seems decent enough....Anybody heard of it?

    I've used two machines, a Hypertherm for the cnc and a miller for the hand torch. Both had worked great at times and both had issues. I guess it depends on the goal in mind. What are you cutting, and how much of it?

    I've been looking into getting one as well and I found some (surprisingly) good reviews on pirate4x4 of this plasma cutter, http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Plasma-...-/381283529554?hash=item58c644f352&rmvSB=true

    Its cheap and Chinese but it supposedly works well. I think @colinb17 might have just got one from what I saw in the fabrication thread, he might be able to chime in on it.

    i did get one of the cut50s about a month or so ago. I got it based on the recommendation of a couple fabricators that I trust. I got it wired and hooked up to the air compressor, but have yet too actually use it. might get around to using it a little this weekend, on some 1/4'' plate, which is at it's very limit, so we'll have to see. for what you're using it for, it should have more than enough punch. like chris said, it gets surprisingly good reviews on pirate, which is very hard to do if you have spent any time on that forum.

    I'm actually in the same boat right now looking for a plasma. I have used a miller which was nice. No probs with it. I have used 2 Longevity machines. One with the pilot arc and one without. I would recommend one with the pilot arc. I think that function is well worth the money.

    Awesome, keep us posted please. Really looking at this being the next fabrication purchased for me, cut-off disks can only go so far.

    I have been poking around on Pirate 4x4 as well and saw some good reviews there.

    Excuse my ignorance, but what's a pilot arc?

    The biggest difference that I can tell between Pilot vs Non-Pilot is that the pilot arc produces a flame or arc right off the bat, before you touch the tip to the metal. The Non-Pilot requires you to "strike" an arc on the metal before you begin cutting.

    Mexico is fixing to have idiot child as a guest for a long time. They found a gun in his hotel room and he claimed it was his. Apparently nobody told him what Mexico does to furiners found to be in possession of illegal firearms. (Or he thought daddy & mommy could buy his way out of this mess too) :popcorn:
