I would like to hack a plasma cutter ,but before I need to get one ...Has anyone ever put a torch such as a Trafimet on one of these Chinese plasmas? If so did it cut any better or just the same?
Still struggling to work out how 50 Amps can really only cut 10mm at a push.
Trafimet s45, I've seen that machines that use them can not cut more than 12mm so I think that isn't the right torch to increase the cutting capabilities
Cut 50's that says that can cut 18 20 mm clean cut ,uses P80 torches
Unfortunately I have not found yet an hypertherm torch clone , Chineses do make the compatible consumables but they don't make the torch
That should be the better option to hack a plasma cutter ,also because consumables are easy available ...
Anyway I think that most of the cutting capabilities are thanks of pilot arc ,not HF or HV but pure pilot arc a lead with a power resistor from the ground to the torch
Because if is always on when you loose the cut it will restart before you can even feel that
