kayco53, what is the health issue with plasma cutting?

They cost so much you'll be selling your plasma!

I have only had my plasma cutter for a week so I am real new to it and this morning I was cutting up some metal and something I noticed I like about it more than using a O/A torch is I can make a cut and just lay the plasma torch pretty much anywhere without having to worry about shutting it down to get ready for the next cut.

It is just a really cool toy/tool

Now that you have a plasma cutter, look at these tools that help you do a better job, perhaps.

I have a Thermal Dynamics Cut Master 38 and it was a good machine. After I had it a couple of years I started getting shocks off from it and I an electrian come in and he checked my ground on the shop added a new wire and thought all was well until it went out of warrenty and one day the fire blew out the bottom and it died was told it would cost more to fix it than a new one cost. I have not bought a new one yet but have been looking at the Hyper Therms any one know anything about them good or bad?

I love my hypertherm.

We run Hypertherm 1650 on a CNC machine table. Absolutely the most amazing tool for pattern cuts. Not the tool of choice for true holes, even with the CNC control. A good plasma cut still has about 2-3 degrees of bevel.

Use the CNC plasma table to pearce the holes, finish with a punch. Other than that, the Hyperthem 1650 is a beast.
