Starcut plasma cutter

admin

Just wondering what comments someone who used one of these might have.  They're getting old but my other powcon is such a beast that I keep pondering whether a starcut might be worth picking up.  Comments?Throwing good money after bad vs digging deeper and getting an equivalent stand-alone hypertherm?If you have a line on a decent deal for one, let me know.  Someone got a screaming deal here  http://www.liveauctionworld.com/PowC...rcut_i19619500  105 bucks at auction.  I would have been on that all day long, even if it had problems.
Reply:they work ok for what they are.   But they are definitely not a modern plasma by any standards.   I have two of them...   they work fine for severing material.Vantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.
Reply:If you can get consumables. they will ware out twice a fast as a new hypertherm.Plus they are picky on what welder you use to power them. 3phase or inverters work best.Last edited by ccawgc; 08-09-2015 at 06:38 PM.
Reply:I just picked one up I think I paid 175. It was a bundle deal. Only tried it once and it seems to cut great. Heres a pic of the one I just got.
