PrimeWeld 50A Air Inverter Plasma Cutter with Non-Touch Pilot Arc, Automatic Dual-Voltage (110V/220V) and Dual-Frequency (50Hz/60Hz) Portable Plasma Cutter, 1/2" Clean Cut, CUT50DP

I only have a few weeks with this cutter and have used it for less than an hour; it is simple to use. br>br>I have only had this cutter for a couple of weeks and have less than an hour of use on the machine; it is simple to use. It does a good job of cutting metal and leaves clean cuts. I've cut everything from 16 ga to 3/16" plate, so it doesn't cover a wide range, but it cuts everything well. I have no idea how long it will last. Maybe I'll do a review of that as well someday. br>br>What I can speak to is the support I received on this machine, which had a significant air leak where the quick disconnect was connected to the regulator. I was concerned that there might be a cracked regulator, and I didn't want to disconnect the machine until I was certain that working on it would not void the warranty. Primeweld got in touch with me. br>br>At Primeweld, someone was quick to respond. I was assured that my investigations would not void the warranty, and that any parts I required would be expedited. Although it turned out that all I needed was a little teflon tape to fix the problem, I was very impressed with the service; this seller appears to be committed to keeping happy customers. I don't see how I could go wrong with this purchase if they stand behind it for the full 3-year warranty.

Update:
4- Now is the time to give a five-star rating. The seller got in touch with me and offered to replace the damaged parts. The new cable and handle are more user-friendly, and the plasma cutter now performs as intended. br>br>I'm still not a fan of the ceramic cone tips or the wire basket, but that's to be expected with these models. If I could improve the handle, I believe this cutter would be even better. br>br>Customer service was excellent, prompt and efficient, and they kept their word about resolving the issue. br>Ronemtz, br>Ronemtz, br>Ronemtz, br>Ronem br>Original publication date and rating: The head of the handle became extremely hot during the second use. The heat blew out the ceramic cone and melted the brass connector, resulting in damaged threads where the consumables are attached, preventing the screw-on consumables from receiving replacement parts. I contacted the vendor and requested assistance as well as a replacement cable and handle. br>br>Here is the response I got from the supplier, which sounds very promising:br>"We are express mailing out a new torch and some extra consumables. " They're made to burn. When using a new plasma cutter, you'll have to experiment with air flow, torch length, ground connection, and amp settings. You will receive a new torch as well as a complete set of spare consumables for practice, and you can reach us at 856- 537- 302-4368-4368-4368-4368-4368-4368 690- 6995 New torch and consumables are being sent out via priority mail. "br>br>Update for August 2020: I recently changed my power source from 110c to 220v, and the plasma cutter now cuts much better than before. With the new handle, this machine continues to function well. I'd go with a larger model, only consider 220v models, and look for something with a more "modern, sturdy" handle if I were to buy again. I dug a hole (16-inch) last week. With no problems, I was able to get a linear foot) out of a (conex) metal storage container. It took a long time, and the result was a slightly rough edge that I had to grind down.

Because I needed to install a 30A outlet, it took me a long time to get the shop set up to accommodate this. After that, I put the Cut50DP together and turned it on. I made a cut after making some preliminary settings. The first cut was made through the leaf spring of a vehicle. It's not an issue. Just to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke, I made a second cut. It was a huge success. Connect the ground clamp, lift the trigger cover, and press the trigger after turning it on and adjusting the power level and air pressure. The arc appears to light up instantly. For beginners like me, the small guide that fits around the nozzle is ideal. Set it on the workpiece so that the metal and the cutting arc are separated by just the right amount of space. br>br>The unit is very appealing, with a nice fit and finish and a black color. not the same shade of red as the one shown. It takes a long time to cut through the lead. over 13'. The ground lead is a tad shorter than the air lead. They do, however, provide you with a great deal of range. One thing I noticed is that the amps shown on the dial do not correspond to the digital display. Mine was about a 5-amp difference. The dial indicates a much lower reading than the digital display. Also, avoid going overboard. It's very difficult to remove if you tighten the torch lead to the back of the machine because it's cramped inside the cabinet and it's difficult to reach the retaining nuts inside to loosen everything up for removal. br>br>The "new" instruction manual is mostly useless and omits a number of crucial details. This is typical of a Chinese product; you'd think that a country with their manufacturing capabilities could find or hire someone to write a decent English instruction manual. Consider the following scenario. There's a plastic knob with knurling on it- a piece that looks like it's been thrown in with the rest of the parts It's designed to fit over the attaching nut on the end of the torch lead where it connects to the machine, allowing you to hand-tighten the torch lead and avoid causing brain damage in the process of removing it. That tidbit of information, however, is nowhere to be found. Little things like that would make it much easier to set up and use the machine. br>br>I was surprised at how small and compact this machine is. It's small enough to fit on the lower shelf of my welding cart and is also quite light. br>br>All of the accessories are easily attached to the machine. The instructions include some good pictures of the connections on the back of the machine, but they leave out the fact that some of the connections on the regulator don't look anything like the ones shown. However, because only certain parts fit in specific locations, it's relatively simple to figure out. So just do a dry run of the assembly to see where everything goes. Because no air connection was included, I had to make one from my own parts to connect my air hose. There's no need to be concerned. br>br>A few extra parts and consumables are included in the package. I recommend purchasing one of the Amazon accessory consumable kits. That should keep you busy for a while, and Chinese parts can be difficult to find. br>br>I have a lot of fun with this machine and am looking forward to learning how to use it more effectively. Scrap steel for various projects has already begun to be collected. ***UPDATED: ***UPDATED: ***UPDATED: ***UPDATED: ***UPDATED: ***UPDATED 07/12/2017 Additional Photos Added**
br>I've been using the unit a lot since I got it to dismantle an old tank. It's quite a bit bigger than that: about 4. 5' by 2' by 1' It measures 5' in length and is about 1/8" thick. The Primeweld does a good job on this, but an acetylene torch would be preferable. I used it to cut a hole in the tank but never made it past the thermal cutoff. When cutting a long side, however, the thermal cutoff triggered several times. It necessitated coming to a halt, waiting a few minutes, and then cutting some more. On the digital dial, I had it set to 35A and a pressure of about 70 PSI. So I believe I've discovered the maximum capacity of this machine. It continues to satisfy me. I'm only going to give it four stars because it shuts down quickly once the thermal cutoff kicks in for the first time. br>br>Keep in mind that this is a review from someone who has never used a plasma cutter before. It's possible that I'm doing something wrong with my technique.
