What's good for plasma cutters?

[WESTOF7]

Need a new plasma cutter to cut at least 5/8" clean in a single pass. Intermittent non production shop use.

What's good? Tried out a miller 375xtreme and wasn't impressed compared to some cheaper brand units I've used. Looked at hypertherm but not sure if they're still any good as all my experience is with the older ones.

How clean is "clean"?

Do you need to pierce 5/8?

Clean enough that I don't need to spend excess time with a grinder.

Just cutting plate for the most part.

Hypertherm is as good or better than the older ones.

I have a powermax 65.
