I have owned two PlasmaCams over five years. I cannot agree that they are the “toys” described earlier. I find mine to be sturdy and well built for less than industrial applications. The software is superior and easy to learn! It is just darn good!
I like the fact that the PlasmaCam uses a hand torch. It means your plasma cutter can be used in both machine and hand held applications. You can get or make a very simple torch holder that makes the hand held function much like the machine torch.
The height control works nicely.
The biggest drawback might be the 4’x 4’ table. In my case it is an advantage as my shop space is limited. I have cut hundreds of 4’x8’ sheets by simply “indexing” them. I would prefer, had I the space, to get a 4'x8' table. PlasmaCam now offers an 8’ table under a different trade name. Call ‘em as I don’t recall the name. Their support desk is now very good after some earlier problems.
Anyway, There are other good outfits offered in this class, but probably more PlasmaCams than others so they'll be around awhile. Suffice it to say I’d buy another PlasmaCam without out a seconds thought.
