OK, I've decided to get a plasma cutter for sure. I am figuring I can
budget up to $900 for one.
The problem, when I look on Craigslist, there are tons out there. Are
there any brands to stay away from? Is there anything that I should look
for if buying used?
Here is one that caught my eye...

It's a 3 in one unit. Does anyone know if this is a buy or a POS?
I like the idea of the Miller Spectrum. 625 X-TREME. It says it can do
5/8th (and has a video to show it.) Is this too 'light duty'? I do like
the automatic settings. But the price is a little high unless I find a
used one.
This one REALLY caught my eye. The price is amazing...

But the one that really seems to be a good deal is...

Note, I don't have a TIG welder, so it might be nice to get a combo unit.
Of course, I have to also consider the HF one...

But that one seems light (only 1/2" cut)
So, what's the wisdom here have to say? What would you do? Are their
units out there I should be looking at?
Thanks again. I hope to buy the unit tomorrow if I can.
