Ordered a Power Plasma 50

[bubbacuse77]

Good thing your done. I'm still undecided on what to get between the Everlast 60, 70, 80 or Powermax 45. Been reading on reviews.... I need it to build my smoker or else I will be using the two additional grinders I just bought :laughing:... Lots of grinding if I can't decide soon :confused2:. Please post your reviews when you get it....

I have a Powermax 45. Hypertherm pretty much invented Plasma cutting and their customer service is second to none. I am always amazed at how much that thing can cut. It cuts 1/2" - 3/4" very clean and I have even used it to severe a 1" piece with no problems.

I have nothing against Everlast as I have never used thier product but I know Hypertherm rocks.:thumbsup:

There's a video on you tube showing a cheapie cutter and the guy was cutting 3/8 steel and it couldn't do it. Although it was sold as being able to.

The guy took it back and got a hypertherm and cut through 3/8" as it was designed to do - BUT THEN the guy cut up to 3/4" just to see what it could do. Cut through like a hot knife through butter.

You never regret buying the best.

There's a video of the PP60 cutting 1" stuff. This is supposed to be rated for 3/4", although Mark said quality of cut drops off pretty fast past 5/8. Most of what I'll be cutting is 3/8 and under. After I get the hang of it, I'll post some pics of a 1/4 and 3/4 cut.

Oh good, I guess I should order one of those 600 hp Cadillacs now. :confused2:

Got the PP50 in tonight. Had some shipping damage, a small crack on the corner of the front bezel. I had a tracking number for the replacement part in about 3 hours. The air filter/dryer I ordered last week was an item weldingsupply didn't keep in stock, so they didn't order it from their supplier till I asked for one. I got shipping confirmation today. I expect it will be 5 days or so till I get that and then I'll have to get some fittings to hook it up. I'll have to look at this thing for a week or so before I get to try it out. :drool:

I think those shipping companies could break a cannon ball!

I love my P60. Each time I use it I'm amazed at just how easy it is. I recently cut some scrap 1 1/8" x 4" bar stock to make press plate for the shop press. My biggest problem is my hand is not stable enough. I usually clamp a straight edge for a guide.

Thanks Al,

From some peoples statements who've never owned one, you'd think that 3/8" would be a challenge for an 60 amp Everlast. Good to know our customers are getting the same results we are.

This is my herky jerky cut on a 3/4" bar. Getting a smooth cut is going to take some practice and a roller guide in place of the wire standoff. Every little twitch and hesitation is transferred to a ridge on the cut.
