TESTING The Cheapest Plasma Cutter On AMAZON

Here is a link to the HERO CUT Plasma Torch - amzn.to/2SWjzMB (amazon affiliate link)

Friend in florida had an industrial sized plasma cutter I used alot, he had a separate dryer we put in the line that was designed to use a full roll of toilet paper as the changeable filter/dryer element.

Hi, I'm thinking of building a shipping container home, will this do all the cutting for doors, windows, etc?...will it also do all the welding?

Good for Cayo dicki hiest In gta!

Epic video...thank you. X

China makes stuff for other companies then they steal the technology and make their own brands to undercut them.

Well you ised it once, rhat means you got 9 more uses until something breaks.

For viewers considering a "cheap" plasma cutter (or welder), best results are achieved when the ground connection is clean. I would have cleaned the ground clamp area(s) in this video to be free of mill scale/rust. A light sanding by hand or a tool is sufficient. These things do work but they leave a rough edge on the metal. Be prepared for grinding and dressing of the final product, for example, I would not consider using a plasma cutter to make a miter joint on a square tube, I would use a miter saw with an abrasive wheel. Also, my Lotus 3500 draws approximately 18A from the 120Vac source when the cutter current was set at 21A. I have all my work bench outlets wired with 10 gauge cable to handle high currents at 120Vac. Lastly, I use an oil free air compressor with a 17 gallon tank dedicated to the plasma cutter. Other shop compressors for air tools are oil based pumps.

0:39 thats what she said

I dont know how i got here but i dont quite get the bloomberg Joke.

The metric system rears its sensible, easy-to-calculate head again. English units are an impediment to scientific progress.

i didnt get electrocuted is always a plus!

God bless

It should've been a review for 110 volt as most people will have that

Can you do a tutorial on using the plasma cutter? Thanks.

ill take it.....

almost a year later and they sell it anymore

Wow, I'm seriously impressed. I'm on Amazon almost daily just checking out their products and I've had doubts about buying plasma cutters that cost 3 times what this one costs. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm always worried about their packaging due to the shippers lack of care, but it even looked to be packaged with care.

This cutter is no longer available. Not sure why, but it's gone.

If US companies could make cheap good working products like this more people would buy US instead of China

Good review!

I had a cheap plasma that I used for over a year in my shop before I picked up a Hobart. On 1/4” and below the cheap plasma worked just as well as the much more expensive Hobart.

IF!! It last would be a good deal for my shop, 3 to 5 cuts a year. If you are going to keep it let us know how it holds up. Thanks

I love the pro " IT DIDN'T KILL ME" ;-)

I actually have this in 120 and I’ve cut through 3/8s no problem.

You had me up until you said China. Lol

It's so little because It's Chinese.

Love the spyderco knife!

0:40 That's what she said.

I can’t believe it’s so tiny”. That’s what she said.

That’s not a float bowl you ignoramus. Dude, when are you gonna cut your bangs?😂😂 Your audience of tweens are sure getting a kick out of the “chineesium” and “Bloomberg” jokes.

Hehe "Chinesium"... Just wait until that becomes an actual element on the periodic table. It'll have blackjack! And hookers!

A big 240 plug ... usa come on, i plug my toaster on 220 like every normal men 😂 Thomas Edison fault maybe !

What happened with the yellow light 🚦 did you look thru the manual or anything???

Why wear gloves to unbox a new tool is it stolen dont want finger prints 😆

I would indeed prefer it had the 1/1646537th inch of standard thread instead. :)

Chineseum😂😂😂😂

I'll be dipped!

let's be honest if you NEED a plasma cutter you probably have enough money and are willing to buy a good one. if you cant afford a good plasma cutter then get a cutting torch kit. If you can't afford that. Just use your grinder.

3/8=10mm

You know expectations are low when "I didn't get electrocuted" is on the list of positive atributes for a tool.

P you know what who do you think Bill's the insides for a Miller and Lincoln all that stuff comes out of China doesn't matter whose name is on it

I have three they are fantastic

8:40 good grief...

781 Mike Bloomberg fans didn't like his joke...poor babies.

To be honest i brought a Cut50, unbelievable machine, paid £219.0 might be 300 dollars, what a machine brand is Andeli, i did some research they make some large welders so i was impressed with what they carry, great machine for the UK market

Great video thanks. You mentioned that the "metric system reared its ugly head again"! Are you really sure that the thread on the airline is metric as they are not metric over here in the UK, they are 1/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe thread) which seem to be a standard used extremely widely across the world, these are not metric (they are imperial). BSP female threads are always parallel threads but the male threads can be parallel, in which case you need PTFE tape for high pressure, or they can be tapered threads which are great for high pressures especially when used with PTFE. I beleive that the USA uses an NPT National Pipe Thread for pipes which were never intended to be compatible with BSP but some people do try and conenct the two as there are some similarities with the threads cut in inches. Do you know whether it is possible to install a pilot arc torch to those cheap high frequency start machines?

Theres an especially warmer place in Hell for Americans still using imperial system.

ill tell ya im gonna miss the old shop. the new one is fantastic dont get me wrong but there just something about hearing the hail rain on the roof behind cody's closing remarks is somehow soothing and relaxing

oh yea meant to tell you love your videos very informative

great job wranglerstar going to get a plazma cutter you helped a lot tks

8mm is 5/16” almost exact

do you need a welding helmet when using a plasma cutter? or any special eye protection?

Thanks for the review I saw they also sell the same version with a TIG torch be interesting see a demo of how it can Tig weld being DC only and it's HF start cost is $279 on amazon.

Racist much?

Why are you wearing clumsy gloves, strange?

I have one of "the cheapest ones I could find" machines similar to that & have been using it in my auto restoration hobby for over 4 years with no problems. Just could not justify the price of a USA unit for my usage. Wonder how many fo the "brand names" are actually made here anyway.

Ya, but can it cut 1/8 inch aluminum plate? I don't thinks so, but maybe if you pre heat it.

Awesome video, thank you

5:54 it's not copper it's copperized aluminium

I would say that short power cord is certainly a bad thing

I was watching this, and when you said what you did about God's graces in effect, I instantly liked and subscribed

Hey I'm not sure 100% duty cycle means that it can be run 100% rated for an eight hour shift. I believe this means the duty cycle of the DC chopper circuit inside which means it's able to 'chop' (rectify) and convert the AC waveform to 100% output of DC current. As you mention a 25A circuit it's able to output 25A DC. Still I think this is a dubious claim because there would be losses in such a circuit as this. I think this thing would thermal overload if run @ 100% rate for even an hour.

Not a bad price for light home fabrication projects.

According to Amazon that is the 110 volt unit for $169 you are demonstrating and then the 220 volt unit is $194. Herocut brand.

I have one of those. It works good for me. Mine came without a plug and on 110v 20a plug it easily cuts a 55gal steel drum

LOL So your god cares about your hose fitting but doesn't seem to care that between 100,ooo to 250,ooo children under the age of 17 suffer and die from cancer every year??? amazing!

The metric system is GREAT you're just too lazy to learn it! Every other Country in the world uses it except lazy Americans! "The metric system is commonly referred to as the International System of Units, as it is used by virtually all countries in the world. Interestingly, three countries in the world do not use the metric system, (despite its simplicity) and universal use. These are Myanmar, the United States, and Liberia." say what?

A nice little review, they are up to 167 now with Amazon prime. I was on the fence about picking one up. But for the money how can you beat it. Perfect for the home project hobbyist type of guy.

The Fizz? C'mon man, I know you're a valley boy but damn.

I just started watching your videos but this one got me to subscribe when you were talking about God's grace and how he always helps out the ones who love Him. God bless brother. I'll always support another Christian.

Metric? Of course. Logical world standard. US is the exception not the rule.

Are you still using this plasma cutter? How is it holding up?

will the china plasmma cutter cut out barrel for wood stove

You missed the most important thing about cheap welders and plasma cutters. You almost got it but then missed it. The short power cord, which is easily solved with an extension lead. The thing you never mentioned and is the most important thing is the length of the torch. If it is too short you would have to drag the unit all around the job. Which is a total pain. The minimum length should be 3 metres at least. Otherwise do not buy it. If you need a toy go ahead but don't expect to get much work done. (By the way I just checked your link it is 110V. Useless in rest of the world which uses 240V but hey, your American what would you know about the rest of the world)

It's not nice to talk about metric sistem with that tone, rest of the world use it every day, I am from Balkan and I understand that sistem better than imperial but I am not saying that you are dumb or your's system is dumb. You need to have more respect for other nations other then Americans.

That’s the 110 volt one right?

the metric system, the whole world except the US, who's out of touch?

Feel bad for you guys with 120V 😅, we have 240v as standard and 415v as high voltage in Aus

Thank you for the review. Was looking for plasma cutter for around the house for diy application. Now I know the one I'll try. Thank you brother. And God Bless.

Lots of people say they prefer to support this and that here. Support yours with your wallet$ is your true $upport. Regardless of your words folks. Words and beautiful speeches are CHEAP. Actions are real.

you can mod it to have a pilot arc with a simple wire grounded to the contact tip :)

Hasta que grosor de lamina de hierro corta normalmente.

Can I say great vlog, but metric isthe standard other than the USA mate. Plus 240 Volts is in more countries too. Other than that have a nice week from Australia.

Really wish you woulda done the 110 as that's what most people are stuck with.

Stop buying stuff in advertising stuff from Amazon they are the leading lobbyist against our gun rights

If you were a Munster and it was a coffin it would be a great unboxing 👹. Happy Halloween!

How big of a air compressor do u need

So you need to use a compressor as well

I really like the take on religion you have. I, myself, am not religious, and it sometimes bothers me how some people push religion into my face, but you don' t do that at all. Sure, you let us know that you are Christian, but you do it in a nice, and respectful manner. Props to you!

This was a cool video. I know nuthin about plasma cutting or about the machines, and would like at apply this to small projects and so forth, so thanks for going out of your way to make this video as I'm interested in plasma cutting. 🤘😎👌

What kind of dumb ass statement is God always helps out the ones who love him ? straight racism and white supremacy lunacy \-_-/

6:14 love it

he he he high voltage jes jes as a european that is funny my high voltage output is 400 volt

Hellocut*

This video was very helpful...new Subscriber for you! Have you updated your understanding of "duty cycle"?

I thought you had to use gas (forget the type), not just air with a plasma cutter?

This Chinese bashing is getting old.

is it used to cut steal

Sorry but the metric system is the best. Not sorry.
