Thanks, buddy. They're pretty cheap these days and they're so nice to have. My little Bestarc cost less than just the repair cost of my friends Hypertherm.

I have to agree. It's hard to beat these for the price. Good machines for sure 👍🏼

Thanks!! I've had really good luck with these machines and the price is good. 👍🏼👍🏼

@@HFG if I ever upgrade I’ll be looking at them for sure.

@@RealWorldGarage 👍🏼👍🏼

I came here to review this machine because I’m starting a 250 gallon smoker smoker build and wanted to know if this could get the job done I ain’t familiar with plasma cutters only grinders but it looks like this will do the job much nicer and faster thanks for your review

@@CandelarioSanchez-ji1qq it should work great. You might have to use a jig for straight cuts. It's basically floating on air and plasma. 👍🏼

Hey. Thanks. If I had to guess the difference, it would just be the interface. Most likely there isn't much that's changed internally. Between my friends and I, we have several of these cutters and they seem to work great. I'm guessing you were using Oxy Acetylene? Don't scrap those bottles. They have value, so sell them. Many places I've talked to only rent cylinders if you don't have your own.

About 40 years ago, I bought 2 sets of Ox/ Ace bottles, gauges & burning torches from a construction company that was going out of business. Like $250 for everything. When I went to refill the tanks, the gas company told me that I couldn't BUY them, that those tanks are rentals!? WT',,,, They made me pay a yearly fee for rent. Then, like 10 years later, that same company told me that they don't 'RENT/ lease' tanks anymore, & I HAD TO BUY THEM! Another $250 gone! They put their company sticker on them. Last week, I took those OXY tanks to a different company to get them refilled & they wouldn't do it, saying that they weren't allowed to fill someone else's tanks!!! I told them that those tanks are mine,, I paid 3 times for them, over 40 years. SO,, I finally found a company who would fill them, but I had to pay for pressure testing. What could I do? I left them there for a week. When I went back to pick them up, they re-tested, RE-PLACED BOTH VALVES, sanded them down & repainted them to their companys colors with their companies sticker on them! $200 !!!! Now,,,, how much can I get back, if I TRY to sell them!? BTW,,, Thanks, for the help. ;>) @@HFG

@jdoboy6835 wow. That's a wild story. I've never heard of anything like that around here. Sorry to hear. Hopefully th plasma cutter will solve your problems 👍🏼

Just placed Amazon order! I got their Gen7. I had Amazon Viza points stored up,,, came to $150. I'll letcha know how it goes. ;>) THANKS@@HFG
