Well i am finally ready to order a cutter and machine torch. Pro has been sitting here and waiting since first batch shipping. Ya i know i am really slacking…
I think i want to go with the 62i. Seems enough for my needs. Which basically i want to be able to cut (pierce) at least 1/2 a36 down to sheetmetal for signs. What have you guys ran thickness wise with the 62i?
Will also need to decide on what consumables or torch? I want machine torch for sure. Is this a george thing?
This is a temporary cutter as well trying to keep cost down for now. Eventually i will go big hypertherm later on.
I have the 62i with both the hand torch and the machine torch.
the machine torch works well…
as for consumables…get a wide selection of them to try different cuts with.
I had an older everlast 50…previous to the recent 52…and with the hand torch I could cut through the side of a railway track…
but with my recent 62i on thetable I have not cut anything thicker than 1/8 at this point.
Talk to Mechanic416 about what he thinks about plasma cutters. He has a lot of knowledge coming from the repair side and might have some options that are more economical than the Everlast. I have a 60S that won’t play well with the THC as well as the Razorweld 45…
