Testing the most affordable CNC plasma cutter on Amazon Hynade CUT60DN

The Hynade CUT60DN is a free hand plasma cutter but with the added features of plug and play CNC connections.
Not all plasma cutters are created equally, most cutters produce high frequency interference that can damage CNC equipment, the CUT60DN is a blow back pilot arc start and is designed to work with most CNC plasma cutters.
If you are interested in a Crossfire CNC table I definitely recommend considering this plasma as a great affordable plasma cutter for your table.
This is the Crossfire CNC plasma table from Langmuir systems

Hi Mike, I've watched all of your reviews on plasma cutters as I've been in the market myself. I'm planning on a handheld machine, but I have some dexterity issues. I run a manual only shop and I'm not interested in bringing a computer in. I do have interest in a plasma table, just not CNC. Back in the days of torch cutting, there were pattern tables that allowed you to mimic most basic shapes. More useful to my needs, there used to be a popular accessory that was nothing more than a guide rail about 18 inches long that assured a straight cut. I was kind of planning on manufacturing a water table and some simple rail system like this. I will almost definitely be building it in such a way that the plasma cutter can be quickly removed to be used manually. I believe at least 60% of the time I will just want fast casual cuts like this. I was fairly set on the best Arc until this video. It can be rather difficult to compare these side by side. I don't have any firsthand experience running a plasma cutter though I'm very familiar with a machine shop otherwise. For my particular use case, do you think having these CNC ready features would still be beneficial? Are there any downsides to normal manual use? Thank you in advance for any guidance you have to offer

[@allanperryman388]

I hope to get a plasma cutter someday. Thanks for the information.

[@MH-rb7lp]

Mike I am starting down the same path that you took with regards to getting a plasma table. I think I am also going exactly the same path in that I am leaning heavily towards the Crossfire vs the Pro due to space and the ability to move it around. I primarily build muscle cars but also an odd project from time to time. I wanted to know if you still recommend this plasma cutter or not?

[@deankay4434]

Mike, this out of sequence but a thought you may see & use on the center-articulation tractor you build removable front fenders for. Since you can remove then in the field, find a spot and weld two squares these can be stored in. Like the side the the dump bed! It is better that tossing them into the back to get scratches or bent. Just a thought. I worked on our family farm equipment since I was the oldest but this was before you were born. But leaving home at 14 (Family issues) but never went to tech school or high school did have a shop. But I spent my entire life working on vehicles & the last 7 teaching & holding tech seminars in 7 Midwest states before Dr. pulled the plug on working. Had a boss argue for 20 minutes to run a rented jumping jack earth compactor at 28 and destroyed my back. It got better to work at dealer, but old age has this “arthritis” thing and had 11 procedures, finally implant with spinal electrodes and they placed them wrong. So can’t even walk, just enough to mail box. Enjoyed the build surround by tools and use them ten minutes out of every 2-3 hrs. I had no cell since 2008 and KZbin has been fun. I have to learn aftermarket parts to build a 67 C10 to have a vehicle. At 6’ 3”, I don’t fit well in most even average weight but getting in & out is real hard. The truck fits and given free. A EFI Tahoe engine will make reliable and the OD auto I built on bench 2019 will help with fuel and made to handle 600HP with a basic stock 390 HO engine so I don’t have do repairs. All GM parts that are common & priced well. But, I have to get room in my garage as it is a 1 1/2 car to begin! Enjoy the vids, but having a place to hang your fenders when off is an idea.

Have you tried that surfacing tool on any carbon diamond plate? I need to clean the rust off of a couple 4' x 8' sheets and if that thing will work on them, I need to go get it. Wasn't sure if it would get in between the raised diamonds or not.

[@nsboost]

Got a little 110/220 flux core machine from these guys for my work trailer. It does have some odd way to setbit, but it is incredibly impressive what it will weld on 110v. Its been reliable thus far and has worked every time i pull it out. Hopefully it works long term but it has already paid for itself. Now i need a plasma. I have nice welders in the shop, but a plasma is so "simple" i have a hard tkme spending big bucks on one. Shouldn't be all that expensive imho

Hey Mike! I just bought this Hynade Cut60-DN for my Crossfire Pro CNC Table but can't find the csfm rating to know what compressor size I will need. Hobby use, only a few hours per week but anticipate some longer/larger cuts at some point. I don't want to undersize but don't want to break the bank either.

[@MH-rb7lp]

@mike festiva - what settings did you use to set this cutter up in the Fusion 360 software?

[@samsanderson7159]

I've been wanting something like this for a while now. I've always been concerned about having it in a Michigan garage that isn't heated. You made sure to point out that you had ice on your table. Is the cold not as big of a concern as I make it out to be? Obviously, if it's in my garage I would probably drain the table in the winter during periods of non use.

Alright mike yeswelder vs primeweld. Cannot find a head to head comparison between the two. I’m leaning towards a yeswelder but for the money primeweld looks pretty dang good to. Considering for 500 bucks the one setup comes with a spool gun. Would be great to hear your thoughts

Hey sir! Thank you for making this video. I was on the fence about what to buy. I had ordered the CUT80, but it never arrived. Amazon said it was lost in shipping but looking at the tracking info, it never shipped. Any way, I ordered the CUT60 instead, as they had that one in a local warehouse. I was still considering the primeweld. I have there TIG 255 and love it. But after watching your video I am going to give the Hynade a try. Do you have any setting information for the CUT60 to set up the THC and the post for the CNC setup. The manual that comes with it did not provide any Torch working height, piercing, arc voltage, or piercing delay recommendations, nor any kerf width setting. I know these will have to be tweaked for my machine, but it would be nice to have a starting point.

Hi Mike, based on your recommendation i just purchased the Hynade CUT 60DN - using your link. All this is new to me and I could follow along with your wiring instruction until it came to the 4 pin connector. How did you wire that connector? I only got the connector tip. Thanks much!

[@user-wm9hb4rm2f]

I followed your lead and bought the Cut60DN plasma cutter from Hynade a few days ago. I have been trying to wire up my Langmuir table with the THC module, but I am having some issues with trying to get everything connected up properly. There are a Torch On/Off connection and a THC connection that are both mounted on the Langmuir control box, that I assume need wires connected to both for them to work properly. I also bought a Torch Height Control Module and there are a lot of connections to be made to it There are the DIV INPUT, the DIV OUTPUT, the PV OUTPUT , and those are the ones located on the ends. Then there are two more connections, one marked TORCH (black) and one marked CLAMP. (red) on the flat sides. I probably forgot to mention that I am very electrical wiring challenged when it comes to making up proper connections. CN YOU HELP ME PLEASE?!

Possible replacement for my original CUT 40 from 2004. I was planning to replace the torch with a grounded torch to get it working for CNC, but may not be worth the effort. Watched video over on Making Stuff on a pre-production YES CT2050 plasma cutter/Tig/ARC welder with built in compressor and dual voltage that interests me as well. Thanks for the reviews.
