Metallicar Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Please, let me know if I am making a mistake if I pick up one of these for $300. New. I would rather not own it if it is not a decent tool. http://www.htpweld.com/products/plasma_cutters/625.html Thanks again, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallicar Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well, it turned out to be a scam or something. I found a few listings on ebay for these. I did the "Buy It Now", but ebay stepped in and cancelled the sale as well as the Sellers account. The seller had over 1100 / 98% feedback, I am not sure what really was the cause for the termination. At least I still have my money. This is the second time this week, I won an auction, and the ebay machine terminated it's validity. Again, I lost no money, but it is lousy business.

grumpyvette Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 http://www.htpweld.com/products/plasma_cutters/index.htm Ive only used the MicroCut 625 my friend purchased, once for a few minutes but it was my impression it was a very good tool, but it sure cost a lot more than that! why not call (1-800-872-9353).

blueovalz Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I've got one of their MIG welders, and love it. Very good quality in their products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 The tig I bought which is the 200 amp model, was $3100 or so delivered to the door with consumables. About $2900 or so just the welder, cooler, 25 foot tig torch and 25 foot pedal. Truly an awesome machine with a great manual and totally digital controls and infinite adjustability in 1 amp or volt increases. Truly has alot of higher end machine features for the mone and draws only 30 amps at 200 amps welding power!!!!!! Simply love it and Grumpy was the one that turned me on to it!

Owen Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I was recently considering an HTP plasma cutter...after all the research I did, I ended up buying a Thermadyne Cutmaster 38. I had a hell of a time once trying to get a CRAFTSMAN mig fixed. Took like 4 months and broke again the same night I got it back. My deciding factors were: Specs- 1/2" quality, 5/8" sever Price- MC625 is like $1400. Warranty- one year Construction- imported parts? Thermadyne Specs- 1/2" quality, 5/8" sever Price-$1090 w/free shipping Warranty-3 years on the box, 1 year on the torch Construction- US made? Hopefully I did all my homework and made the right choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnjdragracing Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 That is what I bought a Thermadyne Cutmaster 38, I heard it was a knock off of Miller. So far it has been a good tool, no problems with it. I bought it about a year ago. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far works awesome I believe we tested it to 3/4 inch. Gives a super clean cut on small stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 That is what I bought a Thermadyne Cutmaster 38, I heard it was a knock off of Miller. So far it has been a good tool, no problems with it. I bought it about a year ago. John thermadyne is no knock off. they also have a line called ThermalArc, and they also make very high quality mig and tig welders for super industrial use. even plasma welding aswell. i have their catalogue, and their "fabricator" series is top notch. I've never seen a welder with so many rheostat dials and switches. I'd look at their stuff and be turned off at the sheer amount of adjustability. This is probably why Miller released the Automatic selector versions of their welders now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shawnstam Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 IF anybody buys a plasma cutter buy a hypertherm they are the leading manufacturer of plasma cutters. Another consideration is a high quality air compresor with a top notch filtration system. I own one its cuts up to 7/8 like butter. you get what you pay for in plasma cutters.
