Well I have found each one of these at various places for under $850 each. I know I could get a lot more cutter with a separate compressor, but I have no possible place to put a decent sized tank and I have read several places about smaller tanks being too small for the plasma machine. I use almost exclusively plate between 1/16 and 1/8 with some 1/4 inch once in a while. The HyperTherm seems to have double the rate of cut speed at roughly the same specs as the other four.
I looked at them, killer deal at about $1G, but I would need a good size tank to run it.The only other thing would be a small compressor/tank combo, 110V, with a really efficient compressor for a good price.With a smaller tank the plasma would end up running almost directly off the compressor.
Yeah, I am looking right now to see what is out there for small compressor set-ups that push enough cfm's to make up for the small tank. Looks like it might be doable. Wondering if a 110V compressor is gonna be hell on the breakers?
My little garage has a sensitive 15A breaker, but I may have found a couple small 4-6 gallon pancake compressors that push over 4CFM at 90 PSI and draw 14 amps.Seems most of the plasma units I have seen need about 4.5 CFM at 60 PSI. That seem right?
I know a few people running the Miller 375 extreme and they love it. Its portable and can be used off a small generator.
