Harrod Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi all, Im looking at a Cut 40 plasma cutter on the Bay of E, was wondering if anyone knew if they were any good? its reasonably priced at a bit over 100 and says it will cut up to 8mm. I want it for general fab on land rovers, up to about 3mm steel so should be ok? Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I have a Cut 50 plasma and it rips through 3mm mild steel very easily. I haven't done more than a couple of hours work with it, but no problems so far. All the consumable are cheap and easy picked up as well.

forkrentfitter Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 i have a cut 40,will not run at full power from a 13 amp fuse,have to use a 16amp blue plug,ability to cut 8mm is questionable,but for the money i am not complaining, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAK Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I have a cut 40. Defo need a 16A plug if using at full chat. The 8mm claim is a bit optimistic! But will cut 3mm no probs, cut starts getting a bit raggy above 5mm unless you faff about with amps/air pressure a lot to "tune it". For the money there pretty good.
