I've not been on this forum much...I do apologise,I know you all have missed me Anyway,two weeks annual holiday and more time in the workshop.
I've had my Mitech cut 50 for several years,and it has served me well. Although I haven't used it much,until now,as I want to cut out some exhaust flanges. But,back in boxing day 2015,my workshop and everyone elses units became victims of 3 foot of flood water. My Mitech was on the floor,aswell as my welder. So both got submerged in the dirty water mixed with oil. Surprisingly the Mitech and welder had survived,both switch on and work. Well the welder does. The Mitech does switch on,and I do get an arch,but it becomes like a blow torch. So,I had come to a conclusion the Mitech is at fault. I decided to buy one of these,a Giant CUT40i http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CUT-40-AM...633877?hash=item41bbae4255:g:9kEAAOSw9GhYdRTf
Works brilliant. So I decided to test the Mitech using the torch (PT31) from the new one,the Mitech cuts as it should. Tried the Mitech torch (SG51) on the Giant plasma,it arcs and then becomes like a blow torch. Conclusion is,the torch is nackered,a possibility I need a new torch.
Anyone recommend a torch for the Mitech..are any torches superior to the SG51?
thanks
