To go with my new lincoln 140, the wife gave me the go ahead to get a new plasma cutter. Its about to get real in the garage:) I went with the powermax 30 after seeing a demo at my local weld shop. That thing is bada$$. They cut 1/4" plate on 115v like nothing, and had no problems severing 3/8" at 115v. Not as clean, but it was serviceable with just a little cleanup with a grinder. They then did the same cuts using 220v. The 1/4" looked the same and the 3/8 looked as good! No grinder needed. They severed 1/2" plate at 220v, worked like a champ. I can't wait! Now I can do the bumper right, curves, whatever I want. It also only weighs 20lbs, and I got the "building America" edition with the carry bag and accessories. I also got a new compressor, one of the dewault 200lb models, so a 4.5gallon tank acts like a much larger compressor, and it is fast! Not much left to get,just an air dryer, and I should be able to start building. Gonna build the tent trailer first, then the bumper.
