Looking at picking up one of these plasma cutters. They have several in this family & not sure which one but probably no lower than this model.
This will be for general use & making some signs, etc. Probably never get over 1/4" but never know. Anyone have any recommendations on capacities, what to look for?

Not great. Had one, returned it.

I used to use an Eastwood Versa-cut that worked pretty good for the price ($799)

I recently got a Hypertherm and it’s badass. Of course you’ll have to spend more money ($2,500ish) but you definitely get what you pay for.

That Eastwood is what I would/will get.

@Ddays @OverlanderJK for the plasma and even welders you have, I highly recommend these for your ground. Makes finding a spot much more easier/convenient and ensures good contact.

I like that! Need to order for my welder. Well I guess first I should wire up my garage to use even be able to use my welder then order that.

Wondered at that price - thanks for the feedback

Perfect - thats kinda what I was expecting for something decent. Do you run it on 110 or 240? I've exceeded my capacity on the garage as-is & will likely need to run higher gauge wire out there to run it on 240 but thinking I'd be better off doing it anyways

We use 240 but the 120 works if you are cutting smaller gauge. But of course 240 is the way to go for much cleaner cuts.

I've got an old 110v Miller that's great for 1/8" hobby stuff. Anything thicker than that takes a lot more time and cuts are uglier.
