Plasma cutter from Harbor Freight

[jjarky]

Recently purchased a plasma cutter from Harbor Freight. I know, I know, Harbor Freight, RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!! But it actually does a great job for the price. I bought the biggest one they had, 220v, 40amp. It says it will rough cut up to 1/2", I have clean cut 1/4" angle easily with it.

As with most things from Harbor Freight, I'm sure it does'nt have the duty cycle needed to "make a living" but for occasional use, it sure beats a cut off wheel.

They are regularly on sale for $650 and Harbor puts out coupons for 20% off any single item. I got mine for $520. They told me I had 30 days to bring it back if I was'nt happy with it. Full refund. I've had it for 6 months now and its worked perfect. Worked great for mini-tubbing the Nova.

I wanted one for a long time but did'nt want to shell out a $1000.

Just thought I'd post this incase someone else has been looking for one.
