Ive been going back and forth on the cheaper ones that come of the list here. Again not trying to spend a lot. That left me with the prime Cut60, titanium and everlast.
The Cut 60 i heard some good things about. I can add on a $300 machine cnc torch. It’s important I can still use this plasma cutter not attached to the cnc machine. Is the $300 torch add on required when using on the basic crossfire table? Will any torch mount to the crossfire table out the box?

Welcome to the forum! If you’re still browsing plasma cutters at this stage, the most important thing is to ensure that you don’t get a high frequency plasma cutter.

The majority of Langmuir Systems customers I’ve spoken with seem to start with a hand torch, then optionally purchase a machine torch later on if they deem it necessary. The only real exception to this is with Hypertherm plasma cutters wired via CPC port, which requires a machine torch to function.

The Primeweld Cut 60 is an interesting case in terms of compatibility with our products. If you are leaning towards the Primeweld Cut 60, I’d recommend reviewing the PSA specific to the Primeweld Cut 60 in the forum’s Announcements category:

The first generation does not have a CNC port, whereas the second generation has a CNC port. Both versions are still not supported by Langmuir Systems, and using it is still at your own ri…
