I currently have a cheapo cut 40, check out the item number bellow, same model/seller . 311743141570. I've had it a few years and it's been fine, I've Cut upto 12mm fine, it's done a lot of work and paid for itself easy. In the time I've had it I've added a longer Earth lead with better clamp and a better style of pt31 torch with a trigger rather than a button on the back. Consumables and a circle cutter are very cheap from China. I blow the case out every few months also. I know the Chinese machines are hit and miss, this one's been fine.
However if It was to fail and wasn't economical to repair I would go with a r tech 30a unit , I'm happy with my mig from them. And the staff are very helpful

Another thing to add, I had been using some plasma cutting glasses I got from plasma part, these are shade 5. I noticed in one of doubleboost video he used a full face shade 5 shield , this is great as you get blow back sometime, molten metal blown into your face isn't great. I brought one and it's so much nicer than the shades, I can see what I'm cutting now so much more clearly and is under £10. EBay item 321484442471

I'd have no qualms buying from either of these vendors via Paypal. Both have 99.4% satisfaction on several thousand sales (8,000 and 40,000 respectively) and they also seem to have some history of selling industrial / electronic equipment for hundreds of pounds.would you mind sharing details (via pm if you need) please?

The only challenge will be returning it to Germany if there is an issue, but that's still £100 cheaper than any UK seller so plenty margin left for some carriage if necessary.
And if there is an issue then Paypal will refund you.
What's not to like?

It's not going to happen tonight as I want to fit a blue commando plug and haven't got a spare. I haven't got the heart to cut one off something else. So with my goings on and being away this weekend and early next week it will have to wait until next Wednesday or Thursday night
Plus how do I post a video?

I'd assume you can use the "Upload a file" but I'm not sure. Maybe you have to use P/Bucket, YouTube or similar and copy the URL from there? 
Someone who's done will be along soon I'd think.

Very easy to upload to youtube. Just create an account and then the top/right of youtube has a link to upload a vid - you can do it from your PC or from your phone.I'd assume you can use the "Upload a file" but I'm not sure.

Just be sure to set the visibility to either public (anyone can see it) or unlisted (anyone with the URL can see it).
Then, over here, hit the

^^ Last time I tried to upload a video [from a dash cam] to YouTube, I kept getting messages about something to do with the bitrate(?) - I gave up in the end despite someone recommending programmes like Avidemux to handle the file(s). 
Some technology escapes me.......

depends on what you post in the vid singing in the shower with sound etc if you post the wrong vid could be worth a mint
