Hi, I have a cheap Chinese Cut 50 pilot arc for a one off project. Had a wonderful time cutting the front end off a donor car for it's beating heart, about 2 hours work, would of taken a day with an angle grinder,a saw and grief. Stored it carefully came back 2 weeks later to find nothing not even compressed air, I've seen more lively door stops. The 'reputable' company I bought it from gave me back my outlay but didn't ask for the machine back supposedly it would cost too much to cart it around. A year on I think I can ask is it worth it have it fixed and who by.
