Hi,
A good few years back now I spotted a plasma cutter going cheap (spares or repairs) on ebay and thought I would have a bid as you never know it might be a simple fix.....
Well, I won it for £43 and when I gave it a try it turned out to be fully working, the "problem" I think was that you press the trigger and it turns the air on but you then have to release and press it again to start cutting (I don't know if this is common for plasma cutters but the one I had used before did not work this way) so it seems at first that it is not working at all.
I have not done much with it since but recently decided to actually learn to use it but I am discovering that consumables are difficult to find / very expensive and I wondered if these suspiciously cheap alternative heads would be a good, cheap alternative for my cutter as I can buy this complete set for less than the cost of a single shield for my current one?
I have not managed to find any info on what make/model my cutter is apart from the head is a Binzel PSB30 type (I understand there are two different types but no idea which mine is - HF?).
Here are a couple of pictures: pic1 pic2
thanks in advance for any advice/info/instructions for using this cutter etc. as I know practically nothing about it?
