YESWELDER Plasma Cutter 65Amp Non-High Frequency Non-Touch Pilot Arc, Digital Display DC Inverter 110/220V Dual Voltage Blowback Plasma Cutting Machine CUT-65DS PRO

I've done fabrication work for 20yrs. I've always had Miller or brand name equipment. I decided to save some money and try an Amazon plasma cutter per say. I will say it's a nice unit, quality is good but not as great as Miller. You get what you pay for. All that means for example is, the plasma torch lead is cheap. Just 1/4" poly air line in a big heat shrink like protective cover. Not solid hard protective rubber like higher cost models. Which is expected at the price. Cut wise it does great! Cuts 1/2" and thicker plate no problem. Was quite impressed. Cuts clean. Extra consumables and parts are easy to get. Would definitely recommend!

This thing is awesome at a fraction of the competitors price.Albeit this is my first plasma I’ve had but I’m really impressed.The first one quit on me and I called them.Totally awesome customer service!They had me send a video of what it was doing.They sent me the newer version with the air thing built in and the upgraded display.This upgraded one is awesome.Totally free and didn’t have to send the old one back they told me to keep it.If you’re using a generator to power it take extra care to make sure you don’t run out of gas and you turn the power switch off before you shutdown your generator. Hint hint.You’re not supposed to use a generator with it ( I think it’s supposed to void the warranty) but it works great.My 5500 watt generac generator I can cut through 1/4” easily.I can tell I need a bigger generator because if I turn it up too high it’ll make the generator grunt really hard then pop the breaker, 20amp.If you have a large generator with a 30 amp plug this plasma would cut some serious stuff.One thing I will say, they need to offer a high end retainer for the torch end.If you use it too much between breaks (a lot) the retainer will heat up and electricity will conduct through it shorting it out kind of, this causes poor cutting performance.And you’ll eat through consumables quickly.I try to keep it cool with stopping periodically and dunking the torch in a cold cup of water.If you need a plasma I highly recommend this one!!!

Put it to work right out the box, plugged in to 220V and it’s cut anywhere from 1/8” - 3/8” plate and popped holes in 6” sch 80 pipe, so far so good. If you know what you’re doing you can put some nice clean bevels with this machine. Hopefully they continue to update their line of plasma cutters. If it lasts a year it will be worth getting another imo

The first picture is a cut in 3/16" plate after I installed it on my crossfire plasma table. I'm still playing with the setting to get it dialed in.The minor issues im having are more related to the crossfire system and not the plasma cutter itself. The second picture was just playing the plasma cutter straight out of the box at 65A and 80psi. It cuts through 1/2" like nothing. I'm impressed, especially for the fact that you can get this machine for less then $300.00. My other plasma cutter is a hypertherm 30xp that payed almost 2k for and this is comparable in performance.This is not designed to run on a cnc table however is not hard to get out to work. Im playing with the setting on the whole machine in general to see what it's capable of but for the price it is tough to beat. The short time I played with the plasma cutter itself it never failed to strike an arc but for some reason it fails to strike an arc on a rare occasion when installed on the cnc table. Again, that's an issue with the machine and Not the cutter. If your in the market for a plasma cutter, don't hesitate on this little guy. It packs a punch for such a compact unit. It's impressive!!

At first glance, this plasma cutter seemed to have all the features I was looking for. The digital displays were impressively bright and crystal clear, providing easy visibility of settings. Adjustments were intuitive and user-friendly, allowing for quick and convenient setup. The torch handle felt sturdy and of high quality, providing a comfortable and secure grip.However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I began using the machine. Despite meticulously following the instructions, connecting everything correctly, and ensuring the power switch was turned on, the plasma cutter's performance was far from reliable. When I pulled the trigger, I anticipated a powerful plasma flame, but to my frustration, only a rush of air emerged from the nozzle. This lackluster result occurred repeatedly, with the plasma flame appearing a mere three out of ten times.The inconsistency in performance was deeply unsatisfying and raised doubts about the machine's overall reliability. It is disheartening to encounter such issues, especially when the machine showcased promising features. The bright displays and user-friendly adjustments, coupled with the high-quality torch handle, were overshadowed by the machine's inability to function consistently.Regrettably, I had to reach out to customer service in hopes of resolving the issue. They said it was a fluke and suggested getting a replacement. However, their proposed solution did not rectify the problem. Additionally, I noticed a substantial air leak inside the case of the second plasma cutter, further underscoring the quality control issues.Ultimately, I had no choice but to return both plasma cutters. Unfortunately, this experience not only wasted precious time but also caused significant delays in my project. It is evident that these repeated issues are not mere flukes but rather indicative of a larger quality control problem.In conclusion, while the bright displays, intuitive adjustments, and high-quality torch handle initially seemed promising, they were marred by the plasma cutter's inconsistent performance. I would caution potential buyers against considering this particular model, as the unreliability and quality control issues detract from its otherwise appealing features. Look for a more dependable option from a reputable brand to avoid such frustrations and setbacks.
