I have used one for almost a year for coutless projects. It hasn't failed me yet. Just dont use the crappy tubing it comes with to hook up your gas. Just get some fuel line.

couple hundred more? Like what? This is worth the money just for the plasma cutter portion.

I agree with CS on this! I have had mine for a few months, Yes I would like to Upgrade and probably will soon. BUt if I was using this for is myself and not actually making product with it, It would be all I need.

I you are a Garage welder want to mae some things for yourself and close friends, It is all you'll need!!!!!
