Easy tip for speed: you can watch the sparks on the bottom side of the cut. Straight down is too slow which increases slag. Spraying upward is too fast. About a 30 degree angle is juuust right. Thanks for the vid!

Great video! I have the same 50P style and it works great. I have never used it on 110v though. I would like to say "Mind the sparks!". When using any kind of cutter (plasma, oxi, abrasive wheel) it is always important to be cognizant of where your throwing the sparks. It appeared the sparks where aimed right at the rubber coated lead and a couple of machines sitting on the floor. Thanks for sharing this video.

Thanks. I'd like to say that I got my first job in a welding shop over 40 years ago. So while I appreciate your desire to see people work safely, you might want to start with someone a wee bit younger and newer to the trade than myself. Just sayin...

Brilliant explanation and demonstration Chuck. I certainly understand how to use my one now, as I struggled before with it. Thankyou👏👏👏👏 David …Liverpool UK.

The chart that I have says 1/8" 20 A 30 Psi, 1/4" 30 A 40 P, 3/8" 40A 40P, 1/2" 50A 50P. I have a CUT50P that works fine on these settings. Keep the torch as close as you can without touching, and be a bit slower. Let it get all the way at the beginning.

Great video. I have one and not sure how to make it work on 240 . I plug the large plug into my 240 outlet and it wont come on. Mine came with an adaptor cord and it works great with the adaptor plugged in and the small plug plugged into the wall outlet. If i disconnect the adaptor and plug thatvin and not coming on.

@3rdpig 6 ай бұрын

You shouldn't have to do anything other than plug it in to a hot 220/240 volt outlet. If it's not working I'd test the outlet and maybe try a different outlet if possible. Not much else it can be other than the machine itself. Good luck!

When you tripped your breaker were both the plasma cutter and the compressor on the same circuit? Or was it a coincidence the compressor stopped at the same time? Great review. I sold chinese plasma cutters and welders a decade ago. They were hit and miss for reliability. It looks like they have progressed vastly with quality.

@3rdpig Жыл бұрын

Yes, the compressor and plasma cutter are on the same circuit. But to make sure it wasn't the compressor causing the issue I let it charge up and then unplugged it. The plasma cutter still popped the breaker very quickly. Simdar has asked me to make another video, this time using a 30 amp breaker because according the their "engineer" all we Americans have to do is swap the 20a breaker out for a 30a breaker and the problem is solved. I told them I'd make the video, but I'd also include a big warning about how just swapping out a breaker, and not upgrading the wiring and outlet, is a very bad idea. Look for that video in the next couple of weeks if you're interested. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@3rdpig Yeah you need a 30 amp receptacle and #10 AWG for these machines IMO. I have a "lotos" brand ct520d multi process machine here purchased back in 2009 going strong after all these years. Like I said, in the early days they were hit and miss and this one has been a workhorse. They def benefit from being wired 220Volt . I will watch for the update video. Oh BTW I found 55 psi a sweet spot for air pressure on these plasma cutters and the dryer the air you have the cleaner the cut. Cheers

Yes, this macine runs well on 220 and 110.

is this thing still working ok for you I have one got a few cuts out of it and it quit working.

@3rdpig 7 ай бұрын

Yes, it's still working, I used it just a few days ago. If the fan runs but it does nothing when you pull the trigger check the switch on the torch. If the fan doesn't run check the ON/OFF switch. Switches seem to be a real weak point with the Chinese machines. Just yesterday I had the ON/OFF switch fail on my Simder flux core welder fail. Good luck!

Does that use the consumables for a PT 31 torch?

@3rdpig 6 ай бұрын

It is a PT-31 torch, just with a different handle than we're used to seeing on these inexpensive cutters. So yes, it uses PT-31 consumables.

How do you start the arc?

@3rdpig Жыл бұрын

Pull the trigger and either scratch start it like you would a stick welder, or just hold it within about 1/8" from the workpiece and the arc should jump it.

New sub here I've been looking at all kinds of plasma cutter videos and I like yours so I subbed. right now we have a Snap-On bluepoint ya 2225 but it's the bosses at the body shop and I wanted to get my own so I think I'm going to purchase this seems like a great deal thanks for the video!

@3rdpig 4 ай бұрын

It's definitely a good plasma cutter, but also take a look at the Bestarc I reviewed a little after that one.
