Are these units nay good? Got an email from Newegg with a sale 50 amp dual voltage model for $425...seems pretty cheap.Any one here ever own one?
Here's some of the specs that I copied from the site:
Lotos Technology LTP5000D IGBT Pilot Arc Plasma Cutter 110/220VAC 1/2" Cut
The Lotos LTP5000D is designed and constructed to withstand extensive use in rugged industrial and construction environments. It is perfect for any home project too. This machine is capable to work in conjunction with a CNC machine. The Lotos LTP5000D is a 50A dual voltage (110/220VAC) Digital IGBT Pilot Arc Plasma Cutter (50A). Using this portable plasma cutter is cheaper than Oxyacetylene after just a few cuts. Less cleaning, less maintenance, less noxious gases, less fire hazard, simply less overall work and a better, cleaner cut. The torch trigger can be moved for a custom fit. It can be used in finger or thumb positions. Torch head is low profile for tight spaces. High Frequency DC Plasma cuts thicker materials than standard DC plasma cutters. High Frequency Plasma cuts faster with less distortion in the work piece.Machine FeaturesTrue Automatic Dual Voltage (110VAC/220VAC) Dual Frequency (50Hz/60Hz) Both Pilot arc start and Contact arc start capable (if the pilot arc start is not required disconnect the pilot arc cable according to the manual)
Specifications:
• Robust Infineon IGBT (By Siemens)
• PAPST cooling system from Germany
• Input Voltage: 110vac ~220vac (Auto detected, no switch is necessary)
• Input Power Frequency: 50 hz / 60 hz (Better performance under 60 hz)
• Insulation Grade: B
• Housing Protection Grade: IP21
• Size: 19'' L x 111'' W x 9'' H
• Weight: 21 lbs (29 lbs with box)
• Certification: CE, CCC, CSA, CES and ISO-9001 certification
• 50A plasma cutting capability
• Double function tested and performance tuned prior to packaging
• Power factor: 0.93
• Power efficiency: 85%
• Plasma Cutting Duty Cycle: 60% at 50 amps and 100% at 35 amps
• Rated Input Current: 27 amps
• 3" Per minute @ 1" Steel (Severance Cut) 7" Per minute @ 3/4" Thick Steel 17" Per minute @ 1/2" Thick Steel Air pressure required: 60~70 psi @ 3.6 cfm
• Accessories: Heavy Duty Industrial Lotos Pilot Arc Plasma cutting torch, Ground cable with clamp. Initial cutting consumable (tip, electrode, shield cup), Air filter and regulator with accessories and brackets, Air hose and clamps, User Manual
