That's good Karl. That's (1 1/4") our severance rated cut, and is no surprise to me, since I've cut that myself. We don't try to over exaggerate our capacities. We rate it for 7/8". Severance isn't something you want to do everyday, all day, but is doable if you are patient and experienced. I've not cut with the new Trafimet S-75 torch yet, but it appears to be able to keep pace with the older Trafimet A/81. That's a stack cut too. Won't do that easily with an OxyAcetylene torch.

I had to give it a try as soon as i had it out of the box, really impressed with the 1 1/4 cut, that's not your regular mild steel, it's from an old pallet fork. I won't use it really above 1/2 inch, but if i need the extra power i'll have it. Now all i have to do is wait ( /"$??%%?* Duramax )to have enough $$$ to buy the welder. The onlything it would of liked is to have a longer torch, 15 feet is not alot, used to 30 with the miller, but the spectrum 375 couldn't do much cutting work.

That 252 is pretty large. I didn't realize how big it really was.

It's a pretty big unit, not really portable. The cart is real nice and very sturdy. I shopped around before buying, and was faced with 2 choices: Everlast MTS250 or the thermal arc 252i. What made me choose the thermal arc over the everlast; everlast canada doesn't offer any MTS models, and consumables can't be purchased locally. Now only time will tell if i made a good choice.
