Anyone ever used one of these before? They do tig, stick and plasma cutting, seems perfect for a small shop.

holy cow that seems like a good price!
I didn't look that closely at the stats, what is the cycle times? On vs off.

60 % for both cutting and welding. I have been researching these like crazy and they seem to be hit or miss, one year warranty and getting service seems to be a pain, plus they have proprietary consumables, all warning flags.

Think I'm gonna go with this one, it's a couple hundred dollars more, but it's got a 5 year warranty, the company is very active on welding forums and from what I have seen the customer service is top notch.

and actually have their own forum as well, the consumables are standard also. Same 60% duty cycle.

Seems to cut 3/4, will be here on Wed. We are going to use it to put together the press.

I had like 40% on my tig/mig in CR. The tank was still over half full after building a pig pen / octagon and a few other things over 4 yrs.
How thick of material can the plasma go? Mine could only do 1/4 inch well, anything over that was slow.
5 yr warranty is great for a welding machine.
