Amazing DIY machine
Size: 50A APP Pilot Arc
Bought this tool a while back for a truck project. Finally got to use it. After a few minutes of a simple set up, I was cutting. First time using a plasma cutter. I was so pleased with how well it cut. I used a 110 v outlet on a 20 amp breaker. Cut a 3/16 inch steel and it cut so smooth and effortless. Only issue I had was after continuous cutting, it overloaded the breaker which was not a surprise. That's not the fault of the machine. To remedy that, all I did was cut for about 20 seconds then stopped. It starts right back up and no need to preheat metal. I can't wait to use it again. Definitely worth the money. ... show more

Amazed what this thing can do at such a low price!
Size: 50A APP Pilot Arc
Let me start by saying I bought this with my.own money. About 20 years ago, I worked in a welding fabrication shop. They had a plasma cutter back then. It cost probably 10 to 20 times what this machine cost and it didn't work nearly as good as this bestarc. Technology has improved tremendously in 20 years. Obviously. I had no idea that such a quality machine could be bought for so little money nowadays. I am no longer a professional fabricator, an amateur at best nowadays. Even so, I was able to put this cutter together and start cutting in minutes. Just hook up the lines and power and air. I didn't even have to mess with the settings much. If it didn't cut I just turned up the air and amps and voila, it cut great. I bought this for one job of installing floor pans in an old jeep and I am really glad I did. It was literally like taking a magic pencil and drawing a cut line on the pan and it just falling out. It was much easier than any other method of cutting. It made trimming the new pan easy as well. If I needed a hole, forget the drill, I just started the arc up and plunged cut a hole. The floor pans where very thin, like 20 gauge so they were easy for this machine to cut. I tried some 1/4 inch plate and had great results as well with a 220v power supply. I wish I would have bought one of these years ago and gave my oxy-acetalyne torch away. This plasma cutter is better in every way as long as you have power. I love it, buy it, you won't regret it. Oh and I didn't even mess one tip up while using it on this job. That says a lot to it design and durability. ... show more

Much better than Oxy-acetylene! Unless you’re cutting 1” thick material
Size: 50A APP Pilot Arc
This is a great non-touch plasma torch. The design makes it easy to set up all cutting parameters. It’s lightweight, with all external connections done without tools. It’s equipped with an air dryer, which should extend the torch expendable parts life. All controls are on the front panel, easily set and read, except for on/off switch. It can be flipped on or off from the front, once you know it’s located. I’ve cut metal with for years but I’m a first time plasma user. I quickly cut various thickness and conditions of steel, and found it intuitive how to set up the pressure and current. There’s a chart with recommendations, but I found thinner metal below 3/8” could be cut cleanly and quickly with the same setting. All you need to do is cut at the best rate, and that’s learned quickly within the first inch of cutting. I did find it more difficult to punch a hole through thicker metal with plasma than Oxy-acetylene (3/8” and thicker), but the thinner metal was as easy as Oxy-acetylene. I’m sure when I developed the proper technique, the thicker gauge metal will punch easily. I felt so confident after 15 minutes of playing with my new torch, I started and finished two projects I’d been waiting to do because my acetylene bottle was empty. With plasma; all you need is an air compressor, and electricity. And this unit will work on 110 or 220, and both have a 50% duty cycle. For my two projects I was cutting with 220, and it cut both 7/16 and 16 gauge quickly and cleanly by only changing air pressure and current. With Oxy-acetylene I would have had to change tips and played with torch settings and pressures as well. Plasma is so much easier, with no expense of gas, and bulk of the torch and hoses. I’ll never go back! If anyone that reads this wants to buy an Oxy-acetylene system lock-stock-and barrel call me;-). ... show more

Buy the warranty take the risk
Size: 50A APP Pilot Arc
Ran into a YT sponsored video on this, was really hesitant in buying. Then after a rabbit hole I saw I was able to purchase a four year warranty, and it hit a sale. So I did. So here’s my review after a few months. Cons. The ground is so thin All chords could be longer (gun is ok). A couple of the connections from the gun to the machine are thin. Pros Cost-there’s a few others at this price point, but this seemed like the only one I could find info on. But I was looking at a HT. soooo I can’t say much. Heck a second gun is like $35-40. Pilot light. Wow. This thing lights up for a solid few seconds. I actually had the ground sitting away from the work on a wood bench and cut like 2 1/2” of 14 ga. Starts on rusted saw blades (which the HT struggled with) Power. I haven’t tried it at 110 but bet it’s still got some sauce. I’ve only taken it up to 1/2” playing around and it did it. Cut a lot of 3/8” and my AC was the hold back. Warranty. Sure it only comes with 30 days but they offer like up to a 4 year warranty like $10 a year. Really what made me jump at it. The Gun has a swivel on it, really stops some of the drag. Size: this thing is tiny, fitting on my welding carts 2nd shelf. If you’re anyone other than a shop that can risk waiting on a replacement I’d say do it. I was planning on spending big money, and the internet got me. I was really nervous till I used it a few times, now I love it. Wish it was bulkier, but seems to function quite well. Almost a decade as a fabricator/welder in an industrial shop, making large scale art currently with it. ... show more

Nice plasma cutter

I wish I had bought this a long time ago. My first cuts were in rusty metal and this cut it with ease.

Works fantastic
Size: 65A Pilot Arc
I picked this up over a year ago and just wanted to say - Wow what a deal on this cutter. $150 is a steal as I paid more than double and would buy again at the higher price. No issues and cuts everything I’ve thrown at it. Actually cut a brake rotor in half just playing around to see if it would do it. I’ve always ran it on 220 and have good airflow going to it. What is even better are the consumable kits made for this by the company. They’re 1/3 the price of others and you get more. I’m sure there are better plasmas out there but for me in my small shop this has been fantastic. Sure beats cut off wheels. No mess throughout the shop or grinding dust. 220v with good air and a good ground will eat right through it. Seriously thinking I should grab another at this price for a back up. Hidden gem that’s quick and easy . GLTA ... show more

Internal Air Leaks
I bought this for my shop after watching a YouTube video review and reading reviews on Amazon, good looking unit and well packed but when I hooked air to it, the unit had a serious internal air leak that caused it not to hold a steady pressure which caused erratic cuts because it couldn't regulate the air pressure. With that said it did work, just not correctly. After this I called Amazon because it wouldn't give me the option to simply exchange it because there was not another available, so they had me contact the seller and it went downhill from there. The seller responded telling me to disassemble the unit and try to figure it out myself and then they would send me parts!!!! I told them I did not buy a brand new plasma cutter to repair it myself right out of the box and who was paying me to do (THEIR) warranty work? If I am working on the plasma cutter, I am not working on customer work which pays my bills and requested them to please just send me out a new unit and I could return that unit which would require them supplying me a return shipping label. They responded back asking me to please just take it apart (told me it was easier than I think) which is irrelevant to the situation and no option for a replacement, only that I could return it to Amazon for a refund. In-between those two exchanges I was mad and took it apart, found a bad airline quick connector and replaced it and also once that was fixed, I could hear the clear bowl leaking on the water Seperator, so I unscrewed it and sealed it properly which fixed the issues. Needless to say, I will never buy another product from this company no matter how well the product works after I repaired it. You simply do not buy brand new products to have issues right out of the box then have the company tell you to repair it yourself! In the end after I spent my own time to repair it and replaced a part myself on a brand-new piece of equipment, the plasma cutter does work very well. Customer service and QC obviously are both lacking. UPDATE: Since my original review they have contacted me several times basically harassing me wanting proof it ever had an issue in the first place and wanting proof I even contacted Amazon and was told they couldn't exchange it, only return it for a refund etc. basically calling me a liar at every point. I told them I was reporting them to Amazon and DO NOT contact me again, they didn't listen and still continued. This is what you can expect from this company if you need customer service. I own a business and I order many thousands of dollars a year from Amazon, have no reason to lie about anything and was only asking for a replacement unit and return this one, nothing more, nothing less. Because of my remark about who was going to pay me to do (their warranty work) they offered me a 20.00 refund and I told them to keep it because they evidently needed it more than I did, after I told them I was reporting them to Amazon they then refunded me 30.00 AFTER telling them I didn't want it. Sadly, if it was given out of doing the right thing in the first place, I would be singing them praises but it wasn't, it was only an attempt to cover their poor customer service AFTER the fact. ... show more

Great little cutter
Size: 50A APP Pilot Arc
If you need to fabricate metal parts, and/or make shaped cuts in metal, a plasma cutter is the way to go. So useful in the shop. Once you use one, you’ll appreciate how well this tool works for you. This unit arrived well packaged, and shipped quick. Expected it by UPS, but it came by mail on a Saturday! Researched it well before purchase, and reviews and demos were spot on. Would recommend you do the same, as the demos of the unit’s features really show its capabilities. Easy set up, well designed interface that gets you set and cutting quickly. Cables a decent length for mobility around the workpiece Replaced a 20+ year old commercial unit damaged in a flood that cost 10X the price, and this new one blows it away with ease and speed. Plus, half the weight, so easy to move around.. So far have only cut 1/8” (3mm) material, but it went like a hot knife through “butta”! Some of the demos show it cutting thicker material very well, but haven’t needed to myself. It’s performance on my thinner material matched the demos of the same, so expect it is capable as advertised. Seems well made, but will it last 20 years? Only time will tell. So far, very happy with the purchase, met all my expectations and feel it is a very good value for the price. Really wish there was a N/A on tech support rating, as so far have not needed to use it. (A good thing!) Supplied instructions were all that were needed. I recommend you buy the consumables kit, as tips wear quickly due to the non-contact arc start up. They aren’t expensive, and the convenience and ease of the cut starts make the wear well worth it. So much better than buying cutting wheels or gas for a cut off torch, not to mention so much cleaner, quieter and safer. It does require a decent compressor (~4 cfm), and if running it on 110 vac, a 20 amp circuit to work its best, but it will work with less as long as you lower the current and cut slower, with stops to allow the compressor to refill the tank between cuts. That airflow is critical for the cuts and post cut cool down of the torch. I was able to bring it over to a buddy’s place and run the torch on a 15 amp circuit and a pancake compressor by cutting in short spurts. Not as pretty cuts, but still got the job done in decent time! Overall; a great unit. You know you want one! ... show more
