Seems OK. I swapped the hose clamps for the hose going from the regulator to the machine (hose barbs hold it on) to some 3/8"- 1/2" T-bar hose clamps.
Swapped the inlet to the regulator from a metric hose barb (***) to a standard brass 1/4" air hose inlet. Tapped the regulator to the new size & used some Loctite 656 (Pneumatic/Hydraulic Application thread sealer. SEALER, not Threadlockers).

I don't like the cooling fan. I'm use to modern computers, which have monstorous outputs. I've got half a mind to take it apart & swap it out for an extremely high flowing fan. After the warranty is up LoL! But it works 100% fine. Just a little mod for later.

No big deal on any of that stuff...


I wired it up for a normal 110v 15amp plug, and soldier+heatshrinked in the 220v 30amp plugs we have in the basement. Annnnywho... With the thing set to Plasma & being the only thing operating on a 110v 15amp circuit. It can throw the breaker at around the 12-15amp output range. Asks for a maximum of 60psi. I fed it a steady 55psi out of my compressor.

No pics tonight, but I cut up a powersteering pump bracket I had laying around. It varried between 1/4" & 3/4" thick. Set to 10amp output @ 55psi it would clean cut 1/4" easily enough & had I moved slower it should clean cut cut around 5/16" on 110v without throwing a breaker.
I cranked the dial up to 40amps & it seemed to me like it would probably cut around 7/16" on 110v but I doubt that's feasible at all. It would simply throw the breaker after 5-10 seconds.


Didn't get a chance to run 230v. May be awhile on that.

Cellphone pics are blurry...

1/8" mild steel, paint not cleaned off.




Same 1/2" piece of mild plate as the last cutter.



3/4" mild plate. Aint gunna happen, but if you have ALOT of patience & don't mind it wandering like a dog in a landfill...

What buyer did you pick that one up from?Looks good i really need one of these.You think it will clean cut 3/8?

It clean cuts 3/8 like a ****. I cut out some 3/8" plate for some exhaust flanges yesterday afternoon. Im pretty sure it would clean cut 1/2" if you ran it under more normal conditions. Clean metal, close ground, 220v. A dry supply feed (VERY important) Sleds / rails / wheels also help greatly on any cutter.
It does exactly what it says it does. It'll bearly sever 3/4" & it'll clean cut 1/2". Does what it says so... What else do ya want. LoL!


I would suggest buying from Rhiland dealer Shorts. He's been around 2 long. Aint going anywhere like most of the other guys. I wouldn't buy fro the guy I bought from.
