Sip 05166

Hi, Im looking at buying one of these plasma cutters, but would like to know if its got an inbuilt compressor or do I need an external supply?
Also what is the general opinion on SIP machines, any good? If not could someone recommend a single phase plasma cutter under £500?

Apparently not

In any event built-in compressors aren't that good and you tend to need an external supply anyway.

Thanks for the reply.

I had a look at that site but couldnt see any info regarding air supply so thought Id ask.

My general opionion of SIP welding products is pretty dim I'm afraid. Although my SIP compressor has been pretty reliable, the welder I had was woeful.

I've just bought a R-Tech Plasma 40hf and so far so good. No inbuilt compressor though, but I'd prefer that.
