From www.kevincaron.com - Artist Kevin Caron shows - and uses - the latest plasma cutter from Everlast, giving great plasma cutting tips along the way ....
Everlast just sent Kevin Caron a new plasma cutter to play with, the PowerPlasma 62i, and it has some cool new features. It comes standard with a nice IPT60 torch with a handy trigger guard to keep you from inadvertently lighting the torch.
The plasma cutter's cap also is the right size for what Kevin Caron calls his "training wheels," which let him roll along on the metal to get a nice smooth cut.
On the control panel, the machine has a selector for auto restart, tip saver and gouging modes. Gouging is one of the cool new features on this machine. To the left is a lock for the control panel so you can get your settings just the way you want them and then lock them into place.
This plasma cutter also has a CNC selector, which is another new feature. Kevin Caron shows the amperage display, cutting pressure display, air pressure display and post-flow adjustment.
When you fire up the machine you see the 60 amp display - this plasma cutter's maximum amperage. Kevin Caron then starts adjusting the cutting pressure. The pressure regulator itself is on the back of the machine. By watching the display while adjusting the knob, when you get the pressure where you want it, you just push down on the knob to lock it into place.
Another cool function with this pressure display is that it doesn't matter where you set your amperage, you can play with the air pressure. By watching the colored dots across the top, the machine tells you when the pressure is too high or too low, helping you dial in your air pressure. You don't want to damage the machine.
And of course, the air pressure you're going to run is directly related to not only the amperage, but also the size of the hole in the end of the nozzle you're using. If the hole is smaller, you get lower pressure. If the hole is larger, the higher pressure gives you a better cut depending on what kind of amps you're running and what kind of thickness you're cutting. There's a whole, long list of things to keep in your brain while you're using a plasma cutter.
Kevin Caron is ready to make some sparks!
He's put on his safety gear and has a piece of 1/2" cold rolled steel plate in front of him. He puts on his safety glasses and, after setting the plasma cutter to 60 amps, easily cuts the 1/2" steel.
Kevin Caron shows the cut, pointing out that he was probably moving a little too slowly because of the dross still hanging off the metal. But boy, the machine didn't quibble about 1/2" plate at all.
So that's the Everlast PowerPlasma 62i. In this free how-to video Kevin Caron has been using the Everlast PowerPlasma 62i CNC package, and there's another version without CNC. The 62i plasma cutter without the CNC package is regularly $1,200 but is on sale right now [02-2020] for $1,100 on the Everlastgenerators.com Website. The CNC version of this machine is regularly $1,500 but right now is on sale for $1,350 [02-2020] .
Of course, this plasma cutter has IGBT inverter technology, which means there're fewer parts to wear out. That makes machine lighter and makes costs go down on.
It has a big cooling fan, too, to help keep it cool - That's where that 60% max output duty cycle comes from!
So all in all, Kevin Caron says it's a pretty darn good machine, especially for the price.
He thanks you for watching and asks you to hit that notification bell so you're in the know when anything new pops up.

Wish I need one of those more than once or twice a year. I'd have one for sure. Love your reviews.
You can pick up a used one pretty easy.
Its kinda like that old baseball movie "if you build it, they will come"
Cut a bunch of stainless sheet with a grinder wheel, then use that plasma & you'll never cut anything again without it (besides 2×4's lol)
Yes I have a plan to help out guys like you and help pay for my new Everlast PowerPlasma 82i I just ordered. I am going to put a few ads out for cheap plasma cutting service. I'm not a business and thus don't have a big overhead I need to cover so it will be really affordable and I will do trades etc. Most of the trading will be for material as in have some extra steel or aluminum? Lets trade cuts for stock material.
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Just ordered the Everlast PowerPlasma 82i. I only really needed the 62i but up sized as they are on sale right now for $1249.00. Not the CNC version, but I will use it for CNC and ad the CNC torch later if I think it will be needed.
Great machine! Welcome to the club and let the sparks fly!!!
Nice description! You have a great way of explaining things.
Thanks, I have fun with my job!
Could you at some point do a video showing off the gouging features of the plasma cutter? As always, the work you put into these videos is very much appreciated.
Waiting on the consumables for gouging to show up. Stay tuned.
Those people sure like you my friend, so jelly!
I am a very lucky person!
They knew who to have do the review! Little outa my price range but very cool! Thanks guys.
Thank you for the vote of confidence!! It is a very nice machine and a lot cheaper then those other guys.
Great review, looks like a excellent machine.
It is!
I enjoyed watching this video thanks kevin
Thanks for watching my friend!
I really like that company... They have honest tech support and they are quick to replace a unit.
I'm no paid shill, I paid for my 255ext and I really want that plasma cutter! Sadly, I need another compressor to step away from the cutting torch for good. I do a lot of aluminum when I'm welding, so it's usually cutting wheel grenades I'm dealing with!
They are pricey but will pay for themselves quickly.
Hey, what is a cutting wheel grenade? Asking for future safety needs :)
I have a 80A everlast plasma... the old style... the only thing I would like is a new torch that can drag. like hypertherm.
Check with George at georgesplasmacuttershop.com Use my name and he will point you towards the right and best torch for that machine. I have the same one it he got me lined up just right.
@@KevincaronSculpture thanks he pointed me out the parts I needed directly on his Ebay... thanks a lot
best time to buy a Everlast welder/plasma cutter is from Thanksgiving to New years eve
Great tip!
The bottom left "LOCK" is a 2T 4T function not a lock for the plasma cutter settings.
Lock is 4T unlock is 2T. Its in the downloadable user manual.
Thank you for posting. I didn't know that.
From the Everlast website pdf user manual:
Lock Off/ On. “Lock” refers to the trigger function. With the “Lock-off” selected press and hold the torch trigger to cut. The arc will stay on as long as
the trigger is held down. This is the best method for short or detailed cutting. To use the “Lock-on” mode, press and release the torch trigger to start the
cut. The arc will be on when the trigger is released. Press and release the torch trigger again to stop the cut and begin the post flow cycle. This can be
used on long cuts with track torches or pipe beveling devices. Warning! Selecting Lock On can create a dangerous situation if the user is not alert and
informed of its operation.
What ever happened with the MTS 275 Machine. Would like to see some more reviews on that. I just bought the 62i. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks,
I have been having a lot of fun with the MTS 275 Lighting. Works great and has become my go to machine. More videos are on the list and will be coming in the next few weeks.
How is the MTS275 holding up? @@KevincaronSculpture
👍👍👍👍nice
Thank you! Cheers!
The eye balls are not what they use to be so what is the best welding shield to put a magnifying glass with??
I really like my Miller Pro. The head gear is the best I have ever worn and it takes a cheater lens no problems.
@@KevincaronSculpture Amen! My new Miller Digital Elite works a lot better than that Harbor Freight that was burning my eyeballs at your place last month. I can actually see the puddle now. Thanks for noticing the intermittent darking.
Have you ever got an error code E03?
Nope, never seen any error codes on these machines.
Where can i get those training wheels and whats the real name of it to find online. Much thanks
Here is one set but I just search for "plasma cutter training wheels" and found lots. www.amazon.com/PT-31-LG-40-Plasma-Cutter-Circinus/dp/B011KI1YYQ
How does Everlast compare to Hypertherm in general? I am going to buy a plasma soon and want to make the right choice... Looking at the Powermax 65.
Hypertherm is a very good machine! If you have the money to spend then go for it. I just feel that Everlast is making a great machine as well and it cost about half of the Hypertherm. Have not had a problem with the Everlast plasma that I have and once I changed the torch to a better unit I can now get consumables at my local welding supply. I also found George at georgesplasmacuttershop.com and he has been very helpful in pointing me in the right direction for supplies as well as the new torch.
Kevin Caron, Artist Thx Kevin, how much was the new torch?
if you want one , save money and buy a Chinese one , any one they are all pretty much the same ..
if you NEED one , it has to be Hypertherm.
Spares and backup are what your buying , the machine comes free, sort of like new cars , you buy the warranty , they lend you a car.
@@Thatdamdroneguyyeah let's spend double the price for something that does the same as the everlast. I've had my 102i since release 0 problems and cuts whatever I throw at it.
😕 All I have is the old Everlast 60 amp
Beats a dull hacksaw!!
I'll give you 100 for it if your that depressed about it.😏
Where's it made?
China of course.
I'll go ahead n take that plasma cutter off your hands when you're tired of it lol. Hey tell everlast they can't sell the 252 sti n the 275 lightning at the same price lol
They are just trying to keep machines in stock right now. China is just getting back to work but at a reduced work force so expect things to be out of stock for a while.
