When it's working, it works awesome. It is seriously a time saver cutting and notching tubing for bending. I spend a few minutes marking out the cuts, use a piece of angle as a straight edge and the plasma literally slices it like a razor. It's a lot quicker & easier than a sawzall or cutoff wheel.

I did have a couple problems with my machine though. It quit twice on me in the last 3 weeks. A capacitor or something blew inside. The folks at Parker were very good about though. Luckily, I live about 20 minutes from them. The 2nd time they prepped a brand new machine for me and it was ready by the time I got there & I was back & cutting again within an hour. If you're gonna get one of these cheap imports, I'd say definitely get it from Parker.
