well I already have a millermatic 251, and would love to have a plasma cutter. i dont think i'll be cutting anything larger that 1/2" for fabing up jeep stuff. if you can get that machine for under $400 i'm in, i'll buy one. with your experience do you think the pilot arc is worth the extra $125??
i'm still in China, stuck with visa issues, but should be back in a week or two. i'll pm you when I get back as I do need some other material as well, such as joints for the Long arms.
