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.

 

haha, just like my Harbor Freght tig that just sits there in my room...

 

Do it. then post pics. That would be one kick as welder.

 

HMT keepin Ching chong meow land in business

 

New one, cuts like a champ. Used it for about an hour today.

 

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?

 

maybe if you have a stedy hand, clean surface and patiance

 

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.
