Cheap Amazon Plasma Cutter 6 month REVIEW!!!

[@williambell2188]

Had mine for a little over a year and no problems, really like the unit. Glad you like yours.

[@crossthreadgarage]

I have a couple now, I really like them a lot, handy unit for sure!

[@pompeyroad]

Good Review, real time common sense real application... I am a retired welder and Welding Instructor, thanks for the real world overview and your input.

[@crossthreadgarage]

Thank you so much!

[@nitomeanboyGBODY]

I’m purchasing so that I can have the ease of cutting the old floor panel out of my gbody to replace. Ur review is super beneficial

[@crossthreadgarage]

Thank you! I appreciate that

[@montecarlo6.0turbo]

C notch my monte carlo ss frame cut like butter

[@nitomeanboyGBODY]

@@montecarlo6.0turbo I was wondering if it would make notchin my frame easier! That’s for that

[@thebeardedstork432]

You can easily convert this machine to Pilot Arc for about $20. There are videos online showing the conversion.

[@replyhere590]

I bought the DP Gen 3 version and am a little cheesed, since the pigtail on it is 115, with a converter cord to go to a Nema 6-50, which is what your pigtail is. Makes little sense because I am informed that the #1 reason these cheaper units of various brands (and likely from 1 of very few Chinese "daddy" factories) fail is pushing them too hard on 115 instead of using them on 208-240. In fact some comments on them advise not using them at all on lower voltage. I like lots of things about mine so far but now I am really wondering about reliability. BTW, I do suggest pilot arc unless you are using it on a CNC table per what I have learned. And watch out for nearby flammable--I almost set a bunch of leaves on fire today in our driveway. FYI, I paid $260 for mine (2023 March). The version Crossthread has is less, maybe $220. And another FYI, I found that my Porter Cable pancake strains to provide enough air, too. I have others and will try them with it. Also, I am adding a separate water/oil separator to back up the included one--in fact I plan to make a short air hose up with a separator on each end. Messy air is a consumables Destroyer!

[@crossthreadgarage]

I honestly don't use mine that much, I need to remember to start firing it up. I'm just so used to going to the zip wheel

[@jamespolucha8790]

Yeah I ordered one and they sent me the GEN 3 model which is a little different like the cord and adapter is backwards and the gauges are different but it seems to work just fine, hope it last

[@crossthreadgarage]

@@jamespolucha8790 lemme know how it works, I've been thinking of upgrading

[@dennisrockwell7834]

I DID THE SAME THING, A STAINLESS STEEL CORKSCREW WENT THROUGH A FACE SHIELD AND THE SIDE PLASTIC OF MY GOGGLES WHEN I WAS USING AN INDUSTRIAL 440 VOLT PLASMA CUTTER I DID NOT LOSE MY EYE, GOOD PERTECTION IS A MUST, I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT! GOOD SHOW THE CUTTER, THANK YOU MUCH!

[@crossthreadgarage]

Dang! That had to be scary!

[@chefdlturner9056]

I just ordered this because of your review thanks

[@crossthreadgarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@vwdemoreno876]

Grasias compa muy buenvideo comprare una

[@montecarlo6.0turbo]

Mine works great

[@danielstickney2400]

I really hope this is just your camera set and you're not actually welding or plasma cutting on a wooden bench top right in front of a gas meter. Probably not given your sensible attitude towards PPE but one never knows.

[@FoxMan777]

Great review thank you! I'm ready to buy one of these, but I have a question on the consumables. Is AG-60 and AG60P the same thing? Stupid question I know, but would like not to waste $30 on consumables before hand. :) Newbie ...

[@FoxMan777]

Looks like you answered that when I re-watched the video. :) Thanks!

[@crossthreadgarage]

@@FoxMan777 hey thanks for watching, I truly appreciate it!

[@crossthreadgarage]

I really appreciate you informing people on a topic that I'm not well versed in. Thank you for watching!

[@thehillshaveeyes2200]

What does non pilot arc and pilot arc what's better

[@thehillshaveeyes2200]

Well u answered it the pilot arc is the way to go

[@poochie49]

What compressor are you using with this cutter? How many gallons and what CFM?

[@crossthreadgarage]

I only have a 17 gallon 5cfm compressor, it's really not enough, but has worked ok for me so far.

[@ironsales5669]

Would you recommend this PC for removing welds on an excavator bucket

[@crossthreadgarage]

That would be something I haven't tried, but I feel it would be up for the job

[@PoormansBushcraft]

would i need to change the 20amp barker that feeds my shed to run one of these cutters

[@crossthreadgarage]

I run a 20 amp breaker at 110v it will trip if you run it too long though

[@gmacka6333]

Its just as important to use a respirator as it is eye protection. The fumes and gases created when plasma cutting are deadly, especially in enclosed spaces. A few bucks on a respirator and some P100 particulate filters can save a bunch of future problems

[@crossthreadgarage]

Thank you for that information

[@pigeonsil240sx]

im looking for cheap plazma cutter for go kart project.im looking in the $150 range under $200.what are specs to look for? can and should i use 220v when i have 110v plug?with so many different cutters on sale i dont know exactlly what to get

[@crossthreadgarage]

220 you'll definitely get a cleaner cut and can cut thicker metal.

[@lodwill4007]

I seen a funny Swedish guy exsplain hook a wire to end metal part on top. And run it to ground. And then you have your. Ark. Pilot ark. It’s cheap. Do it. Lol

[@crossthreadgarage]

Ha ha ha

[@luisgapr]

Hi I buy one, Thanks
