plasma cutter choice help

[Tommyf]

Hi Guys

I am finally going to take the plunge and get myself a plasma cutter , I would love to get one of the Oxford Cutmaker 551's but I couldn't justify spending that much . So I have narrowed the choice between 3 machines;
Plasma Part CUT50 50amp Pilot Pro
R-Tech P50 Hf
IFL I-Tech cut 60

I know there are many threads on here regarding these machines but any advice on the pros and cons of these 3 would be much appreciated before I make the choice.

Many thanks in advance.

Ps. Can anyone recommend a good air filter/ water seperater for my compressor as I suppose I should get one at the same time.

Hi Ive got a R-Tech P50 PH and can't fault it. Not a bad price and a good backup service.

Ive got the R-Tech P30C and cant fault that either,comes with a 2 year collect and deliver warranty too

I too have the R-Tech P30C.

I've had mine just a year now and I use it commercial for between 4 and 6 hours each week. I've not experienced a single issue with it, let alone any kind of a problem.

I have the plasma one pilot 40a and have had a few issues with it so far.

The service has been good but the machine has let me down in the middle of jobs. I wouldn't want to go anywhere without a set of cutting discs for the Grinder. Not sure if the 50 will be made a bit better…
