Hobart has another winner.
Perfect little machine for the home hobbiest. I bought this machine for sheet metal work and the ocassional 1/4" chunk. Cuts like butter through thin steel, takes a little more time on the 1/4" stuff. But its alot cheaper to operate on sheet metal and mild steel than oxy-acetylene. Best feature of this unit is not having to adjust a single thing, no air pressure, no amperage adjustment. Just pull the trigger and cut away.

Amateur Car Restorer
I bought this Plasma cutter for cutting sheet metal and various Rusty parts off my 76 Trans Am and I must say for the size of this little box and the cost, I'm very impressed. The unit is like they say plug in and play. I found it very easy to fit into my Hobart upright cart along with my Hobart Handler 140 (also an awesome welder) so if you're concerned about size, don't be, it's about the size of 2 six packs. Key features I like about it are that I don't need to use my air compressor on it, it has one built in. This way I don't have to adjust the regulator or any. Also, it only throws sparks about 1-2ft, I've heard horror stories of Plasma cutters throwing sparks for 4-6ft. I'm working in a small one car garage and I don't like having to worry about fires and such when working. Now as for cutting depth. The book states it can do 1/4in thick steel. I believe if you have perfect conditions it can do this with a pass or two. I have found in my own experience that it will at least cut...
Outstanding home tool
What truly sucks about this is that I waited too long to get it. All of the money spent on cut-off wheels, all of the time wasted at the grinding wheel fine tuning the parts... Bottom line; it will save you time, money, and provide you with that warm and fuzzy feeling we all strive for.
The good:
- Built-in compressor. Turn on and go.
- Small, lightweight, easy to move around.
- Looooong hoses.
- Mine doesn't have the stiff ground cable somebody else complained about. Don't know if this is a recent change.
- Fairly good resale value.
The bad:
- Make no mistake, this is a home unit. It will cut 1/4" steel, eventually... If you only cut thick pieces occasionally it will work fine. Clean cuts at 1/8" but still fairly slow.
- Dinky guide, basically a folded thick wire. You will get good at using it but it will take time and in the process you will ruin some metal. If it had a better guide it would cut down the learning curve...
