recomendations on a 110 V 20 amp plasma cutter

Will see light use... mini tub job and maybe some basic tube cutting....



was looking at the hobart 250 for 799.00 but that seems too rich for the limited use I plan on

What about the Hobart 140? I have used it and seemed like a very nice welder and a bang for the buck! Don't forget you will also need gas and all other small things add up. Brandon

If it doesn't have to be American built, check www.longevity-inc.com. Longevity has a 5 year warranty on all their products and good service as well. I'm ordering a Force-Cut LP50D plasma and an ArcMate 205 Mig/Stick combo tomorrow. Free shipping too! Let me know if you order from them, just curious. I'll post my order experience after I place mine hopefully Friday.

Edit:
Just looked at the specs on the Hobart you are looking at and you can do much better for your money with a Longevity unit, if you're okay with an off-shore unit. For $250 less and free shipping you can get something that cuts three times as thick steel!

Never heard of longevity but it may be a good option.

Keep in mind that the Hobart unit has a built in air compressor which is a big plus in my book. Im looking at one myself. Forney also makes a very similar looking unit for $200 less. It may be the exact same unit, but I dont know. http://beta.shopping.aol.com/f-250-p...110v/774613471
