I am looking into buying a plasma cutter and would like to hear from anyone on this forum who can help me make the best choice. I have been looking at a Thermal Dynamics unit locally, that they say is made in USA. I don't have numbers handy at this moment to compare, but I think the salesman said it would cut to 1/2" with a 40% duty cycle. Cost= 1k. Also looking at one in Eastwood catalog. 60 amp, 60% duty cycle, cuts to 7/8". Cost= 840.00. I am wanting to stay in the 1k range and don't feel I need a pro model. But, don't want to buy junk either. Can anyone recommend a good, solid unit in this price range, or am I dreaming here and need to step up in price? I can't imagine needing to cut 7/8" material often, but like the idea that I can. I'm worried about the unknown pitfalls of a lesser unit. From what I'm seeing, most of them are in the 1k - 3.5k price range.....
