Spectrum 2050

admin

Hi All,I have been looking around at Plasmas for a while now and I am at a crossroads! I found a used 4yr old 2050 in my area for $1800CAD, no plug, no separator. The other options are a new 375 extreme, a new PM30 or a China machine. I am a hobbyist and really want to get away from abrasive etc currently I would be in the cutting range of the 375, PM30 might be a little small, just going by the specs. The 2050 is more than I can ever foresee needing but I would never have to worry about capacity. I figure with Miller I shouldn't ever REALLY have to worry about it crapping out. And the Miller would actually be worth something if I wanted to get rid of it in a few years.I also thought I could buy a cheapo Chinese multifunction and use it until it dies. But there is no local support/consumables etc near me and it seems like a bit of a crapshoot getting a good one.The only reason I would decide now is that this 2050 popped up, it seems like a good price for a $2500 machine. I was thinkin to offer the guy $1500.
