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?

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.

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.

yeah, for what I have in mind - I'd be better off with a 240v I think - it'll more than pay for itself

The Denali - Metal Wall Art

The Denali arrests attention with its soaring peaks etched in steel, framed by negative space that hints at vast Alaskan skies. Its crisp contours and layered cuts mirror the wild elevation and majesty of North America’s highest summit. Finished in our Forge patina: cool-toned blackened steel...
