I installed another 220v circuit in the garage this evening for a plasma cutter. I've been looking to buy a plasma cutter for a while now. I had planned to get the hypertherm powermax45 xp but I happened to stumble across an ebay deal on one of those chinese cut50 machines. Brand new for $125 which is about the cost of a consumable kit for the powermax45. Normally the cut50 is about $200 which is still really cheap. For $125 I expected to receive a paper weight but the damn thing actually works. I'm sure it doesn't cut as nice as the powermax45 but for now it does the job.. I'd like to set up a small cnc plasma sometime. When that day comes I may look at the powermax again but the cut50 will do fine cutting the rust out of the scout ii.
