HF Plasma Cutter

I grabbed one while my Everlast was in for warranty repair (8wks). The Everlast will be for sale this weekend.

Who’s got a link to consumables? They aren’t the same as what I have already.

No link, but guessing they’re the same as the Esab machine b/c this is made by them.
 
I decided to pick one up too, my rebate was denied. Anybody else have any issue?

Did you order the 35i from Arc Solutions? I had trouble with the website accepting Arc Solutions as the "Where purchased from" so I contacted Esab customer service and they got it taken care of for me. My rebate is processing now.

Yes, I will have to call them today.
 
I ordered the fire power fp200 welder from them yesterday after surfing the site from this thread. 519 with a 150 rebate… hoping it is good as well.

I think I had to put it in as ArcSol Inc or something. I just looked at the invoice from Arc Solutions and put whatever it said. Went through with no issue.

Got em this afternoon. A few notes:
-These are Plasmadyn parts, not OEM ESAB.
-The gas shield cup is black instead of the original blue/gray, and has 4 air holes instead of 6. I don't like that. I did not take out of the pack to verify the thread, but visually it looked the same.
-The swirl rings look about the same as the originals.
-The tips look good and match the originals.
-The electrodes look good, and match, EXCEPT the thread is different. The Firepower one is a coarse thread, and the Plasmadyn one for the euro Handyplasma is a very fine thread, and will not work.

Based on the air hole difference and thread mismatch, I'll be returning these, and getting the "correct" ones for the Firepower 45i.
 
I got the 200 amp welder and the plasma… very happy with both. 1/4 tube playing around and cuts like butter. Gonna modify my 40$ welding cart so my air hose can pass through the back. Also very happy with how long the plasma hose is.

Did anyone ever find alternate consumables for the Firepower FP35i? I’m seeing some on Amazon but they seem to be on the expensive side.

So bringing this back up. Thinking about a cutter again. The one y’all got is $1500 now. So anyone know of any great deals on one?
 
my backup unit is the Yeswelder CUT-65DS and it works really well for $400 unit. I say backup but I actually use it as my main one out in the shop and I only get the big one off my CNC cable when I really need the power so needless to say this one has been getting used for 4 months now almost every day I've had no problems out of it, and you know I do fab work full time
 
I will say it does have the power of my 60 amp Everlast that I absolutely love but it won't cut nearly as quick on the same thickness material
 
A place I work with has a Horrible Fright unit. For stupid simple unit it cuts rather well up to 1/4 inch steel. Slower cut rates but accurate without terrible dross. For light portable truck unit I would buy one in a heartbeat. I think it's labeled as a Titanium. It's got a green cabinet. It's definitely not industrial with very lightly armored lead and very thin ground wiring.
The only mod was aggressively removing the trigger guard😬. Getting man sized fingers in any ppe was aggravating to operate.

Consumables are fairly economical and last with decently clean air supply. Came with a simple drag attachment for guided cutting.
Rated for 110 or 220. 110 input is a joke and trips the circuit breaker fairly easily.

Edit: I believe it's the 45 amp model.

Not a promo but I’ve been getting blasted by “arccaptian” products on FB, Amazon, and Tik-Tok and their prices warrant at least a look????!!!

Possibly a hint I need a plasma at the house??

Saw that one. I wondered who made it or if it was a China copy. Anyone know?

Yeah not sure. I’m sure it’s probably chin-a- wanese but at that price and I looked at the expendables (readily available and “cheap”) for what I would ever use it for it would be a contender.

I've been happy with my titanium (one that was originally posted in this thread). I cut all the brackets off my JK axle for conversion and have used it on a friend's jeep axle swap, cutting off brackets, track bar mounts, etc.
 
for what it's worth, I've used the Harbor Freight plasma cutter and its not nearly as capable to the CUT-65 I told you about, price comparison and power output, and the Yeswelder is about the same price. I've cut 3/8 with my CUT65 and it's pretty good.
I stand behind the Titanium Welder since I've had one for over 3yrs now problem free but their 45amp plasma cutter is kinda weak (but I'm judging on owning nothing but 60amp units now so anything less I'm unsatisfied already lol)
