Its been nearly 10 years now that I've been running my thermodynamic. It still works like the day I bought it, and all I've ever done is buy consumables for it.

I think miller and thermodynamic share some parts, or at least that was the pitch to me when I bought that machine way back when.

Just a heads up, the dryer the air, the better your consumables will last Vince. And at 10$ and up per consumable, its worth going through the trouble to dry the air pre plasma.

Hey Bill, what model do you have and who sells them?

Mine is a 40 amp output that will clean cut 1/2" and sever 3/4".

Like Jens said, Im sure the models have changed, but thats the basic specs on mine.

 I do cut some half inch once in a while, and I can say honestly that I would like a slightly bigger machine sometimes, but realistically, the one I have is more then enough for most hobby guys.

The thermal dynamics units were all de-rated a year or two ago, for example a 52 became a 42, the 52 is a beautiful machine and cuts amazing, there is this offer currently

http://www.victortechnologies.com/Thermal%20Dynamics/Promotions/63-1205C%20TDC%20Q3-4%20Promo%209-20-12-CA.pdf

You could get away with one model down though

Slightly off topic, however...

Is anyone aware of shops in calgary willing to do one off parts in calgary?
I have roughly 6 months experience nesting and operating a large(10'x50') plasma table at my old job, however have no idea where to look? or prices for that matter.

Im looking to get a 6' x .188" Mild steel clock cut. My brother has completely designed it in *.dxf and just needs to be nested and cut.

A shop with quick turn around is preferred(I know the program would only take about 15 minutes on the table i used to run) as this is for my brother and his wives house and he'd HOPE to have it done by the 25th.   ;)

Thanks!

Give Metal Alloy Fabrication a call, they usually give a good turn around time.

Justin- Cutmaster 42

Jenssen- I made a couple cuts in 1/4" angle and, oh my, what a nice tool to have.
I should be able to play sone more on Tuesday. I'm looking for a 45 gallon drum to make a dedicated cutting station before I make too much mess.
