I spent like a $100 few years ago for Cut50. went well till I had to replace a power switch. Then upgraded to Cut60 for free. Nice big torch. Expect good life out of these on 240V. Consumables are super cheap. Very highly recommended for the price point.
The other pluses the Primeweld 60 gives is it has a port for control by a cnc machine, and is a blowback type touch less start. High frequency pilot arc apparently doesn’t play well with electronics (like on a cnc cutting table).
I bought the LOTOS LTP5000D and after 5 months of using it a couple times a month it now draws over 70 amps and blows the 50 AMP breaker both in my shop and on my gas 12,000 watt generator. It's beyond it's 90 day warranty so basically a boat anchor. I'm going to buy a Hobart or Hypertherm. I had a Hobart for years and sold it which was a big mistake.
Great video! The 3 negative things I hear about cheap plasma cutters are they don't last long,a very poor operator manual and no costumer service. Does it cost more to fix a 6 month old machine than what its worth? Even at $200,is it considered a throw away item when it quits? I have 2 working hours on my $200 machine,spent 3 hours trying to diagnose the problem and got nowhere. I don't have alot of knowledge in this area.
Loved my powermax 30 until it just stopped working after I had it for a little over a year. They do not replace components. Required a $800+ main board. Very disappointing.
Often I read plasma should be supplied with dry air. Most have a gadget forming part of the machine capturing the humidity. You did not say if any had this
Hi! Awesome video. Thank you. I am brand new to plasma cutters. I’m looking for one in the 200-500 dollar range to cut steel car rims. I do not have any 220 outlets though. I also have a smaller sized air compressor. Any suggestions for me? Thank you
Hi thanks, for this excellent review I would like to know, if you know what is the weight of the boxes with everything and accessories for the primeweld 50amp and 60amp plasma cutters thanks for your help.
I've got an Amico cut 60. works real good. Had an issue with the torch and they replaced it as fast as the mail could deliver it. no questions asked other than what is it doing. Bamm! New upgraded torch at the front door three days later. Lincoln took three weeks for a shorted part order to be replaced. I guess you can have shitty customer service if you charge three times as much for the same product?
Good luck finding anything from miller or lincoln even worth buying for under $2000. Miller's cheapest cutter right now is like $1600 and it only cuts up to 3/8 mild steel.
6 price points. Three of them are Primeweld. If you just type in plasma cutter on Amazon, all of these brands come up on the first page regardless. C'mon dude.
I was expecting some shitty voice over video from some Indian kid who’s never used any of these products but just takes the top 10 reviews and copy and pasted their descriptions. But I this was a great video. I agree the Prime weld cutters like their welders are unbeatable under $1,000
