Congrats dude. A plasma cutter opens a whole world of possibilities in fabrication. If there's someone who would take advantage of this cutter is you... Happy for you Brent
My Icut60 is still working of 5 years, it could cut 7/8" steel @80psi slowly. Paid $199, did a lot of cutting, very good investment. Now thinking for a 1-1/4" Yeswelder for up grading.
Air pressure definitely makes a difference from my limited experience. With the cut 55 on 55 amps and 40 psi cuts through 1/4" like butter but on 60 psi it struggles. Air compressor plays a roll also.
As long as you have plasma to cut, they are nice to have! Haha, I would like to have a setup like are putting together, you are going to have a nice shop, now you need a mill, and larger lathe! Awesome!!
I just got a cut55 last week and loving it. I shouldn't be cutting anything thicker than 1/4" but tried some 1/2 today unsuccessfully. Kinda wondering if I should return the 55 and get the 65
Good vid. I’m planning a 1000 mile/24 hrs iron butt ride on my Zuma 125. I’m going to install a new oem belt and dr pulley rollers. Bike is a 2011 and has 11k miles. Anything you recommend doing before I try it?
That sounds pretty crazy. You've got to average over 40MPH for 24 hours to make it 1,000 miles in that time. 40MPH average sounds slow, till you try it. Every red light, bathroom break and construction zone adds up. I would clean and service the entire CVT beforehand. Look at the service manual to see if anything else is due very soon and generally go over the whole thing. Oil change and gear oil change just before. Check the tires condition and of course pressures. If you do any work to it, at least take a brief shakedown ride sometime before the actual ride. Otherwise, I'd suggest having some sort of tool kit that you can carry as well as a plan for what to do if something does fail. That should be capable of being a good reliable bike that 1000 miles is not an issue for, but it never hurts to prepare. Good luck with it! Lemme know how it goes.
Great review. If you have a DC clamp meter, it would be interesting to see what amperage that machine truly puts out. I’m guessing 45 true amps, otherwise that S45 torch would self-destruct. YesWelder is earning a reputation for overstating output performance.
This is from their site about the 55DS : "Air Compressor Requirement: 5-7CFM @60PSI" It says 5-7CFM@72PSI for the 65DS. Check that against your compressor's specs.
I have no experience with the 55. The 65 is rated for just barely thicker materials and has a non high frequency touchless start, while the 55 uses high frequency touchless start. If you're not pushing the limits, I'd imagine you wouldn't see a lot of difference. The 65 also has a display that's a little more fancy.
My $180 Icut60 could cut 7/8"@80psi, still working 5 years and counting, good investment. First job is a 42" fixed thumb, and a 3/4 yard cement mixer for my Hitachi EX50 digger.
Me again, one thought at a time with me. I think yu were "trying to cut the leg of the channel' rather than the .5 corner thickness. Had yu gone perpendicular around the corner yu would have cut thru.
The only thing that I really thought was a bit negative was the instruction manual not going into detail about setting it up or settings for cutting. Then I realized, they are out there giving this stuff away to people like me that will make videos about it. That has to count for something as far as instructions are concerned, and it's a time when everyone has a phone in their hand to lookup settings anyway. It took me 10 seconds to google.
How often do you deal with directions from China? They are often vague or missing important info and somewhat useless, aside from being poorly translated. I like the cutter, but the instructions wouldn't get a passing grade from me. Great, you can use a plasma cutter... but you don't make videos. It would be the equivalent of sending someone that lives alone in a remote place with no contact with people a product to tell the people around them about. Not effective product marketing. No offense meant, but that's how it works. I think they also like to have someone new to the tool try it. If I can do it, you can do it basically.

Thanks!
That's awesome! Excited to see all the projects you'll be able to do with it

Dude, you are so underrated.
For how much you put time in this and effort, i love you dude.
Your videos help out a tun too everyone!
What a great tool to have in the garage. I'm sure you will get lots of use out of it.
Nice guys at YesWelder to give you the chance to try it.
Great demonstration!!!
Brilliant video thank you
I thought exactly the same thing 😆, although I knew that’s not what it meant. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it.

hay yes welding can you use in the feld i have a welding rig i would by one and test in the feld

If you have 220, the 65 should do that.
Nice job. Would definitely like to see this on 220.
Good vid.

Hello i have question. I know 90 psi compression is low but still enough it should still run? Sr50 with 70cc malossi kit.
It may run, but if the tester is correct, it needs to be checked out. It's not going to run well.

Hi. Nice video. I am looking at actually 55D. You think either will work with a little Porter Cable 6 gallon pancake compressor?
This is from their site about the 55DS :
"Air Compressor Requirement: 5-7CFM @60PSI"
It says 5-7CFM@72PSI for the 65DS. Check that against your compressor's specs.
Any experience or comment about the CUT 55 Vs CUT 65?

If I buy the 199$ which is the Cut-45DS, can I still use your coupon (saving a lot here)?
Yeah, it should work on anything there.
Flow meter for ur gas bottle
Me again, one thought at a time with me. I think yu were "trying to cut the leg of the channel' rather than the .5 corner thickness. Had yu gone perpendicular around the corner yu would have cut thru.
You need a dedicated circuit
Didn’t really have anything bad to say about it.
Cuts looked ok. They’ll only get better.
The only thing that I really thought was a bit negative was the instruction manual not going into detail about setting it up or settings for cutting. Then I realized, they are out there giving this stuff away to people like me that will make videos about it.

Go to petes tools on youtube or weld.com both are good resources for plasma cutters
Ya. Coulda read the friggen directions. Wish they would of sent it to me at least I know how to use it

Dude 10 amps isn’t shit turn that baby up
You can't get consumables for this product.
Look for AG-60 consumables.
I called yes welder and they couldn't come up with consumables for the machine and they didn't mention AG60
@@Vcoldduck I have not tried them yet, but someone else recommended that.
