OK, Here is the review on the plasma cutter I was talking about last week. Just a recap, with money being tight, I bought a plasma cutter to make the items I needed instead of buying them (see below

I'm ignorant on plasma cutters... Do they require an externial compressor or is it built in to the unit? Rich White St. Joseph, IL USA '63 TR3B TCF587L That ain't a scrap pile, that is my car! _____

In general, they require an external air source. There are some smallish units with a built in compressor; I've seen HVAC people use them. I expect they're expensive for what they are, as they're int

Need a fair amount of air, too. The unit Moose bought requires "50-75 psi @ 3.5 cfm" which is more than my "2.5hp" compressor would deliver continuously. (Meaning to run this unit, I would have had

They do require an air source. Some of the lighter duty ones (less than 1/4" thick material) have compressors built in. Again, I knew nothing about plasma cutters a week ago and I spent the past two

The air requirements are very little. In fact, they just say between 50psi and 70 psi. There is no cfps requirement on it. Moose "Be as beneficent as the sun or the sea, but if your rights as a ratio

The maker's website gives 3.5 cfm: http://ramsond.com/proddetail.php?prod=CUT50DY It doesn't really specify whether that is 3.5 scfm (ie 3.5 cf after expanding to 1 atmosphere) or acfm (actual 3.5 c

That seems like an incredible amount of air. I've used a much bigger miller, which lists its requirement as 6.75 SCFM. I'm willing to say that cheap chinese tools use more air, but three times as muc

I could certainly be mistaken; maybe it does use only 3.5 scfm. But I sure wouldn't want to bet $500 on it. Manufacturers are usually good at presenting their products in the best possible light, an

I don't mind doing the calculations, but I have a monster air compressor and air reserve and it would take forever for it to kick in. I'll see about making a small tank or something to do a measureme
