Think Thermadyne.

I have lincoln welders and they are nice units. They don't make great plasma machines.

I have used a Miller plasma cutter and they are a very good and reliable
machine. Since are only going to cut up to an 1/2 inch I would recomend that you buy the Spectrum 375, but the choice is yours.

We have a couple of Thermo's Cutmaster 100's w/ the air dryer systems and they have been great machines for us thus far.

I'll second the Thermal Dynamics vote. I have a Cutmaster 50 with an air dryer and it cuts 1/2 steel like butter. I also like the TD torches. They just seem more rugged (IMHO) than the stock torches on Lincoln, Miller, etc.

Hi,
I would advice Hypertherm.
In our shops we use 100, 200 & HD plasma cutters.
Hypertherm "Powermax 1250" a 100 Amp. cutter which is rigid, compact and working in a harsh environments never had any problems since 2 years.

Regards

I think they must have changed the designation to Cutmaster 101.
