Default Cheapo plasma cutters

You know the ones, the sub $300 china made sometimes advertised also as a tig and stick welder all in one.

I need something for light to medium use no thicker than 1/2 inch cutting that runs of 110v and 220v


and i dont want to spend a lot!

Input on these things? Pure junk? or just a good? will it last?

Thanks guys

I actually bought a cheapo one but it's the 50amp model (so not as cheap as these ones).

I've been using it for 2 days and must say I'm really impressed with it. I'm cutting 4mm stainless and it's going through like a hot knife through butter!

Just make sure you can get the consumables for cheap and a constant supply of them.
