Anyone know good or bad about a

Thanks

Looks like your typical chinamanese plasmadoohickey.

Their ratings are misleading by the way, 7" Per minute @ 1/2" Thick Steel on Miller and other mfgs machines 'cut' rating is at 10 IMP.

"High Frequency Contact Start" ok so which is it, high freq start, or contact start?

 

[Marsh99]

Anyone else....

Well I bought one and almost have setup I will let you know how it does

Air and power... what's the holdup

Power I need to run my 220 to the garage and put a plug in

And yes I was so excited I started hooking it up in the laundry room when my wife informed me that be a very bad idea

Tell her to get back in the kitchen and mind her own business.

I guess it's not a problem if you like sleeping in the garage Beardy Mcgee

I got it going today works great its a contact start. I will post video by the weekend

 

[Marsh99]

sorry no video yet but
cleaning up my ifs axle to put under my truck and cut off spring pads of with my plasma made really easy.

I was impressed on how clean it cuts

Spill it,
A guy at work was wondering about the red star stuff. He wants to make a few light steel cuts for barn weather vanes. Is this similer to the HF or Ebay?
How much? Pic?

 

[Marsh99]

I bought it off ebay for 375$
My uncle has had one for years and was the one that lead me to buy it.
It works great!!!
My work has a Hobart I have used and the only difference in quality is the riland is a contact start. although this had no effect to the quailty of cut just ads to the cost of buying consumiables .

Is this still functioning respectably?

 

[Marsh99]

Yeah it works like a champ! Works best on thinner stuff like 1/4 in, but was perfect for what I need.
