Everlast Power Plasma 82i (two month review)

[Sticks]

I did not heed the advice of others that know better - 100a bad

Yeah, Evidently my plasma was working better than usual on the 100 amp setting, combined with I should not have cleaned my pan. 4 pin holes (I am sure they are actual cuts that welded back together or slag sealed from the top).

Now the pan. A combination of not deep enough (I figured out that I need one more inch of height from pan) and sick of cutting near…
