Used Plasma Cutter

Anyone here ever use a Thermal Dynamics 50 plasma cutter.
If so, are they any good?

 

I'd like to hear too. I was told they invented the plasma cutter and one of the best brands to get, at least thats what two different folks have told me that own one

 

Used one at the old shop....consumables cost more than other brands. I think it was $100 each time I got a bag of tips and electrodes.

 

Been using one for years, works great.Just make sure you have a good prefilter to catch any moisture coming from your compresser. As water will cause havic on you tips.

 

I have a thermal dynamics 100xl plus for 7 years it will cut up to 1 1/4 inch of steel or alluminum, its one of my better purchases that I have made. the consumables are resonable for the time it saves.

 

hi
make sure you use a good air trap right on the plasma cutter.
had mind for 10 years and have cut a ton of ss with it.

 

i got a thermal dynamics had for almost 8 years and it works awesome... still using the box of tips that came with it.... just get a good water trap...

 

Cool, Thanks for fast replies

 

Yep ! Got a 38. Same tips after 2 years. Add extra water trap.

 

I have an old PAK 5XR I bought used years ago, works great 55 amps, no problem up to 1\2 inch.

 

themal dynamics seem to be good units. be careful of purchasing used unit unless you know the history of unit. best thing is to take unit to local dealer set it up and see how it runs. had a welder checked out and glad i did because it had been run beyond the rated duty cycle. somehow the tech could tell and labeled it "limited time left"
