Plasma cutter with compressor

[God mode restorations]

Evening everyone.
Have been looking at getting myself a plasma cutter.now as usual the market is flooded with different brands.I tend to stick with one brand .in this case oerlikon equipment. They have a plasma with a built in compressor. Anyone used one with the built in comp. Mine would need to run off 13amp .mainly mild steel cutting with thickness up to 5mm..is there anything I should look out for in pros and cons of compressor plasmas.

hi spencer427, i have one but its sureweld brand.
infact you seen it

it runs off a 13amp plug but with 15amp fuse.
used on a 32amp ring main so its fine..

it does cut 6mm but slow... good for thinner stuff.

My understanding of these cutters with built in pumps is hmmmmm....i would rather buy a cutter with all the money gone into the plasma side of things instead of dividing between cutter and pump.

prefer seperate systems myself as the internal compressor wont keep up at best of times more lickly slog its guts out in end you will buy a seperate compressor for uses and more stuff can be used

yer im ok thanks, hope your doing ok too.

i did buy a cut50 for doing thicker stuff, but only got to use it about 4 times or so.
then it went wrong.
i did buy the resistors to try fix it, but cant remember where i put em lol.
im sure il find them one day when looking for something else.
then il sort it and sell it on either working or for spares/repair.

im looking at getting a hypertherm, but still undecided on the pm45 or pm65..
