New plasma torch is DA BOMB!

[Blood_of_Tyrants]

Just got a cheap 50 amp plasma cutting torch to cut on the deuce and tried it out. It is DA BOMB! After cutting through 1/2" steel plate with almost no effort, I just stood there and grunted like Tim The Tool Man Taylor. My wife wasn't as impressed, but she hasn't sweated and grunted to cut corroded bolts and steel angle iron.

After that I felt the need for a cave and a fur pelt and a big club.

I can start the REAL work on bobbing my deuce now.

Here is the info: NEW RAMSOND CUT50DY 50 A AMP INVERTER AIR PLASMA CUTTER - eBay (item 110408628798 end time Jul-03-09 19:03:00 PDT)

I thought about getting an acetylene torch so I could heat things, too, but the fact that acetylene won't cut certain metals made the plasma cutter the choice.

I think it will cut up to 1" of steel with a not so pretty cut and 1/4" to 3/8" at about 17" per minute. I am going to use it to cut the frame and cut apart an old truck and a bunch of stuff.

Make sure your air is DRY! After I added a refrigerated compressed air drier, my consumables last 5 times as long. That was the biggest expense for me. Still is, but way not as bad. Can you get the consumables near home?

Wait until you start signing your name in sheet metal !

I've got a pretty good size Miller (don't remember the model #) in on trade from a guy that owed me some money. Had it for a couble of months but haven't tried it out yet. Guess I'm kind of old school with a O/A torch but I'm sure it will come in handy cutting sheet metal, AL, and stainless.

Ty, it takes some time to get used to, but they sure are nice. You should monkey around with it for sure.
