FC650DL pilot arc plasma cutter

This was my first plasma cutter so the initial setup took a minute, but once I started using it, it worked great! I had to fiddle with the air pressure settings on my compressor to prevent blowing the little tube off the machine, and my first attempts at cutting burnt the cutter's guard right in half, but then I got the hang of it and cut exactly the holes I wanted in some 3/8" steel with no problem.

Alot of juice out of the little box.

I bought this to cut up a 5th wheel trailer frame I had laying around. It did just fine for what it is. It did take some learning to use correctly. 1/2” was a little big but anything less than that it cut just fine. The quality of the trigger handle assembly is a bit cheap. I had to solder the micro switch back together after stepping on the hose while using it. There is no retainer to keep the wires from pulling right out on either end. Some zip ties fixed it and I will be more careful not to pull on the hose/wire.

So far I've used it a little bit and it has worked fine. Buy some extra consumables and you're set. Make sure you have a decent size air compressor and I would suggest using it on 240volt recep. If you use 120 it may trip a breaker if you use it for longer cuts. I've cut up to 1/2" steel on a old brake drum to test it. It did it but had to go slower. For the price though it's handy. If you have the power for it, it is great

Arrived today, had to test so I didn't hook up a 220v plug for it yet, it'll work on 120v if you pause and go slow just like my old one. The reason so far for 3 out of 5 is the power cord is not close to spec for 60amp also feels like alum/copper clad wire, my welders 120v and thicker so the cord is going to overheat I'll replace that b4 fireworks happen, also was not tight. It cuts decent normal slag for a cheap plasma. Regulator seems to work decent. I chose between this and yeswelder due to price. I'm mostly gonna use this for severance cuts so slag ain't a big deal but if you want a clean cut plan to spend about $600 more. Overall I would not buy again but aslong it works I'll keep it.
