55A Pilot Arc Plasma Cutter, Large LED Display, Non-Touch Air Sensor 55A Plasma Cutter Machine 110/220V Dual Voltage, IGBT Inverter, 1/2'' Clean Cut, 2T/4T for Beginners DIY

Good plasma carer

As long as you have the right expectations, this is a very nice plasma cutter for a great price. With 240V, this cutter can handle some seriously thick steel. My original thinking was running for some of my stuff on a standard 120V 20A circuit for convenience. That was...shall we say...disappointing. You really need 30A or higher for both 240V and 120V. If you have that, you'll love this. If you were hoping to run this on standard 120V 20A garage outlets, look for something else. It is much smaller and lighter than I expected and seems well built. I had no issues setting it up and it's super easy to use. I expect to be using this for a long time. Now I'm always looking for opportunities to cut something up.

Cuts pretty good. Only cut 3/16” plate but it work good. Only use the hyanade brand consumables I tried another brand and it started to cut poorly, they come loose on their own. The grounding clamp is very fragile so plan to change that out. Pretty easy to use. I always had it set at 50 amps and 55 psi. No air leaks. Has a few little cons but it is well worth the money

A great example of the newer generation plasma machines coming out of China. Much more refined and sophisticated with added convenience features; equipped with the new generation of torches. The performance is as described, and the price is reasonable. It is amazing to see how these machines have matured in the past 10 years; they rival anything in their class produced domestically. The only downside to these types machines is inconsistent product support; as many companies are strictly marketing resellers who may be out of business or selling something else a year from now. This downside is somewhat balanced by low price and great performance. It would however be nice to be dealing with a entity that would be around years from now, but even with domestic well know producers, that "support" their equipment, parts are often unavailable, or crazy expensive, and as to independent repair concerns, good luck!. So, all that for a balanced view. Fot the majority of DIY and light industrial, these machines are great offering amazing bang for the buck.

Defective on arrival. Power flashes off as soon as you pull the trigger. No stars given

If you want an amazing plasma cutter you just need to order this one. I’ve used many different ones and this one outperforms the rest! I was immediately impressed with the quality when unboxing the unit. They provide you with everything you need to start cutting. It is wired for 220V which I recommend, but it also includes a 110V adapter. All you need is to add your quick connect air hose to it and you’re ready to begin! The overall design is perfect and easy to use. I was able to install the leads and use it without the included manual. I love the digital readout - especially for the air pressure. All the leads are extra long to keep the unit safe from sparks. The functionality of the handle/trigger mechanism is the nicest I’ve ever seen and includes a protective trigger lock for safety. The body is lightweight and easy to carry with the built in handle. I was able to cut through 1/8” and 3/8” steel like butter. You just have to have the amps turned up with thicker material. You control the speed by the amps and air pressure adjustments. You’ll need more air pressure when cutting thick material to blow the slag away from the cut. The unit is sealed and there is no air leakage like other ones I’ve used where they constantly hiss.

I'm just getting into fabrication and was looking for a nice plasma torch to begin learning the basics. I'm not sure how this compares to more expensive models, but so far I'm very impressed. The unit comes the cutting head with all of the attachments, a 220/110 converter plug an air hose, sealing tape and a few consumables. Basically everything you need to start cutting. The instructions are actually pretty good considering this is an Amazon product. They even have a section in the manual on how plasma cutting works and the diagrams inside make it very clear on how to connect it and use it properly. I was impressed that it included such details. The torch is fairly comfortable if you have smaller hands like me. There is not a lot of width in the handle for bigger hands, but maybe that is useful. Like I said, I'm brand new to this. The torch is a hard plastic and has a rubber or silicone accents to give you more grip on what would be a slippery plastic handle otherwise. The trigger also has a safety cover to help prevent accidental firing of the plasma cutter. Overall it seems like a decent torch and can't wait to start cutting with it.

Used this to cut down scrap from our old barn to make it manageable to haul off. At first I was fighting with it to maintain a constant arc. Ends up it was just high humidity. I added a 3 stage filter on our 60 gallon air compressor and no more issues. Easy to set up and adjust to handle 1/4" beams. Eats through purlins like nothing. Be sure to get extra tips. I have been running this on 110v on a 25 foot 12 gauge yellowjacket brand cord. The cord gets warm but not hot. Manages I-beams well, So long as you do a little extra on the joint part of the "I". I'd like to see it perform on 220v but I need to wire in another circuit for that. I've used better set-ups in a professional shop. but this is a great DIYer home st up. due to needing electric and air, it is not a replacement for an Oxy-Acetylene torch.

The price was right and it cuts metal like a hot knife through butter. I hope it has some longevity.
