which plasma cutter to buy?
My Dad is looking into buying a plasma cutter and he's not sure which one to get. He's looking for something that with cut 3/8"-1/2" mild steel. Looking for some feed back on what everyone is using and there opinions of what would be a good one to buy.

Re: which plasma cutter to buy? (old number 7)
I personally have a thermal dynamics machine and it has worked great for the
5 years or so that I have used it. I have also use a miller model and it worked just as well. The only complaint that I have is that all the pieces that are in the torch assembly are way too expensive.

Re: (old number 7)
i think the thermal dynamics machine is the best, but the consumables are expensive. ive been told that the Hypertherm plasma cutters, they have designed their torches with better cooling allowing for better parts life ( like twice as long ). but its been my experience that the consumables last the same in any plasma set up its just that the user puts to much pressure on the thrch head or wrong size air compressor or not enough psi of air to cool the torch down.
