Multiplaz, plasma kutter and welder, anyone?

[64Chevelle]

Hi guys,

stumbled across a device called Multiplaz while looking for a plasmacutter and welder. The welding process seems like a combination of TIG and Oxy torch technique.

I am starting a pretty big project on my car now and need something to CUT and WELD with. Usually I would be looking at a compressor, MIG welder and plasma cutter (or air driven metal cutter). I've just been using the grinder to cut so far.



I have close to zero welding experience, and to me, this device looks like exactly what I want. I have just done a little MIG welding so far, with mixed results

It's a bit expensive at $2000, but it's very economical in use, not to mention a lot less equipment is needed. Add the healthbenefits and all the things I can do with it (cut concrete etc.) it seems like a perfect choice for a DIY'er.

Watch the youtube videos of it's usage.

I've seen two reviews of it on enthusiast forums and it's gotten great reviews, especially the aluminum cutting/welding seems to be extremely good.

The other review I found is in norwegian so I don't care to post it here.

Any opinions?

I am not a welder nor have any experience with the above kits but am interested in the opinions of the board.

Looks like a great low-cost alternative, thanks a lot for telling me. It can't do all the things that the Multiplaz can do, but it can still do a lot of what we car people will need.

Well you will still need to buy oxy acy bottles and regulators so you will be close to a grand when you are done. I have one and I don't know how many hours of practice it takes to get as good as the videos but am no where near that level. I would highly recommend just buying a plasma cutter because the learning curve it 1000X faster than the Henrob torch. Trust me, I learned the hard way.
