I bought a cut50D from Amazon almost 3 yrs ago. 120/240 for $199. and have used it to cut almost 1/2 inch with little to no problems. It did take me about 2 weeks to get used to it. But So far I have had 0 problems with the unit, But I can't say to much for the operator, yup, I still make mistakes. I would give my little Prime Weld Cut50D a 95% rating for the work I do.
you right men a lot people discriminate those products olny because are china made,but ai have soo many borcken makita and dewalt thash tools......but a have chicago elctric welder machine and i never had a problem even if it is china made
It's WAY cheaper than mechanical cutting and grinding - I have this exact cutter and have been fairly rough on it. It payed for itself in saved consumables ( think blades and cutting wheels etc... ) within the first few months of "hobby use". Straight out of the box mine leaked a little at the pressure gauge - fixed that in about 5 minutes. I have 120 and 240 available - works better on 240 but does work well on 120v. If you need to cut on 120V they recommend a 30A dedicated branch circuit. That said you can turn the power about 1/2 way up on a non-dedicated 20A with no other load and still slice up metal fence posts / sheet metal / whatever. You know you went to far if you pop the breaker. :) Overall - For my use - if it lasts 2 years or more I'll be thrilled. Great for hobby and occasional use !
I just bought this from Amazon for $169, and it works great. I was surprised at how well it cut on 120v, then I tried it on 240v and I was completely blown away.
While functionality is important, I feel that longevity and the quality of customer service when it does break down, are just as important. It seems like you'd have a hard time getting service from a company that doesn't put its name on the machine. Just my ¢.02.
As of now, it's still working! We use it for just severing scrap metal and stuff, so it's not in constant use every day but the little plasma cutter keeps on doing its job! :-)
@@texasmetalworks thank you for how to the point and honest this seemed. lots of youtubers you can tell are sponsored but never tell you. also appreciate the update. Ive been looking at these for weeks because i need something for some sheet metal, 1/4 max for some work on my truck, and this may have just convinced me
The machine does still work. It goes through consumables fast, and is definitely not as good as something like a hypertherm. So I wouldn't say we recommend it, however for something super cheap it does work.
@@scottmcbride2237 My Prime Weld Cut50D did not come with the adapter, but my Lincoln 210MP has the same plug adapters for 120/220 so I just use the 10' cord to run it on 110v.
@texasmetalworks 220 50amp circuit? 30? Also I noticed the air pressure was only at 50psi, I think if you dail it higher to maybe 70psi you will achieve cleaner cuts.

Thanks for sharing! I ordered one just before this comment! 😂
Wow, good purchase there!
Just ordered on and im excited to try it this weekend
I have a cup 50 and it works awesome

Nice cuts, unit looks to perform well, not an industrial model but great for diy. Hope you can still use the piece of I beam.
Me too. awesome cutter. Take note that the brand is "S7"
I'm a DIYer, so what size compressor will I need?
hey what about the earth wire nut on the back that goes to the ground. does anyone use them?
i ordered one today... that is insane... i just need to cut thin stuff

Any updates on how it's held up after a few months

Me gustaría saber si aún funciona su maquina mi estimado y si me la recomienda?

I thought i was going cheap when i bought an Everlast lol. If he lasts awhile, it would probably be a good option for the hobbiest.
What was it plugged into?
220 or 110?
220
@@texasmetalworks They do make the same one under many different names that come with both and an adapter.

The real test is how long will it run before it breaks down.
