    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    One thing I noticed from the photo...I wouldnt want to hook a fully charged air compressor line to that machine air system with just clear medical hose used in it. I would sure use a pressure reducer between a 150 psi supply and machine. I know a buddy trucker that used a chunk of that hose to...

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    Ohh ya, I forgot to mention my "farmer expedient" water table so I could break my rule about "no cutting in the shop"...an old 5 gallon pail with a shovel full of snow in the bottom. Clamp your work/cut piece to a length of flat bar that spans the pail mouth so it wont fall inside and presto...

    A buddy of mine built a grinder similar and came to the same conclusion, buying the wheels was 1/2 the solution to the build itself.

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    If there is anybody on the forum that missed the original deal of this thread like I did, you should check Amazon out again, there are some smoking deals even better that the original posting. You can grab a machine that claims to severe 4/5" steel for $150 (NT Arc) . I just snagged a bit...

    What's it worth?

    I would find the new sq ft price for the 1/2 top (after all, it is still in "as new condition) and 1/2 price the vise fron new, through the legs in as " welding experience" and price it that way.
