Plasma cutter opinions?

[Crimsen]

Yes, but it will depend on the material and speed you want to cut. Someone cutting artsy stuff in light gauge tin or brackets out of 3/16 material will make a difference. Size it to run 80%+ duty cycle on the heaviest material you want to run at your acceptable speed. 45xp would be a minimum. One or 2 sizes up would be better until you get into production.

also, make sure its setup to run a cnc torch and controls. Most should have this feature but never know

There's no minimum requirement for the plasma cutter other than you have to be able to hook it up to Cnc control.

The smaller plasma cutters will obviously limit the material thickness you can cut, but it'll work fine.

Most tables will not work with plasmas that use high frequency starts. Something to keep in mind
