Plasma Cutter???

[Fred Werring]

During the last Amazon sale days a couple months ago, I bought the Bestarc in the link below, the 3rd gen.

Only thing I've done with it was cut up an old lawnmower blade maybe a little less than 1/4 thick, just to make sure it worked, it did fine.

Bought it because price, good reviews, supposedly handle up to 5/8 steel, don't have to touch the material you're cutting to get things started, and the consumables are AG60 style which I guess are standardized, not some proprietary thing.

All kinds of youtube videos about it.

I don't expect a whole lot from it, but then I don't need it for a whole lot.
Good luck

I have a Hypertherm. It cost quiet bit more than a thousand, but about the only thing I use it for is Stainless and Aluminum. After 50 years of using a cutting torch and a carbon arc, they are still my go to tools for steel and I saw most of my sheet steel with a Slugger Saw with a laser.
