Re: Eastwood Versacut 60 or 40 plasma cutters ?

Thanks mcoe , I been thinking about the Versacut 40 , it will cut up to 3/8 and that will serve my needs at home. The Versacut 60 will cut 7/8 , nice to have but anything that thick I could cut it at work.

Re: what type of steel is this? it cracked!

Have you tried to stick a magnet to it ? Does it have any rust on it ? Looks like cast stainless from what I can see , but that's a guess with out seeing it up close . Hope this helps .

The reviews that I have read are g...

Hello , from WV

Hello to all , I love this site for welding info and videos . I really like Jody's break it down style. I'm a journeyman machinist but lacking acceptable welding skills . More practice and projects always helps me . Great jobs folks !
