At 5:15 and 7:10, you can clamp your ground wire to the vise if you can't find a better location. Once the vise jaws grip through the paint or rust, it is electrically the same connection at that point.
Jeez, that looks identical to my Warfox pilot arc cutter I just bought off Amazon a few weeks ago with the exception of the exterior color. As far as shading goes, I picked up a pair of Lincoln #5 flip shade safety glasses at Home Depot for about $20. When you're ready to cut, just flip the #5 shade down...much more convenient than a bulky welding helmet.
I bought a pair of shade 5 safety glasses at welding supply store for 3.95 that's all you need ! You can also get away with shade 3 glasses a lot lighter than goggles.
I purchased an Amazon plasma cutter as well and like you first time user for one on mine was just a cut 50 dual voltage and I bought extra consumables to go with so we'll see how mine works like yours although I do have a question for you about the welding helmet which is what I was going to use what was the minimum setting that you used in order for you to see clearly while cutting?
Mine is a Harbor Freight helmet and only goes down to a #9 lens. I have since learned to just not use a helmet at all being careful not to lift the Torch off of my work and careful to let the Torch block my direct view of the cut. I've used the plasma cutter quite a bit now over the past few months and have gotten much better with it. It works great!!!
Weird, it looks almost exactly the same as the BestArc, which is the one I bought, and WOW is it an amazing machine! Just thought it was weird that they looked almost exactly the same, making me think this was a bit of a cheaper step down from the BestArc, but maybe the display and knobs and case is made at the same plant or something. The BestArc cuts inch thick steel, which was crazy IMO, also a couple of the things that made me get the BestArc was the air adjuster on the front and on the back where the air goes into the machine is inside a metal shield. I was always paranoid about hitting that air intake sticking out on the back of my old machine and was always annoyed about the air pressure knob on the back of the machine... Anyway, this one looked similar...
Thank you for the kind words. I built my first YJ about 20 years ago with a Chevy 350 and 700R4 and the name stuck. I do still have a YJ today, of course with a 350 in it.
@@hotrodyj We have a '99 XJ. Working on it little by little. Currently repairing rust on the floor pan. Just never have enough time to completely finish. Been working on that over a year. Engine is tired and debating on stoker or ls swap. If you do any kind of fabrication, have you thought of posting videos? Cheers.
Yeah I said that wrong. I corrected myself in the description and in the text on the screen that you can't really read since I'm new to this video thing. Hopefully I will get better at it.
I'm glad you spared up the unboxing. I have never understood why people do that. We're not buying how they boxed it, we're buying the item inside.
When he said that I said thank God. I can imagine everybody watching this video said thank God when he said that
Unboxings can be useful when trying to repack for a return.

Thank you Sir. I hope my video skills are getting better. Practice practice practice.
Don't rush the tip so you get better results. Nice video brother 👍

At 110 volts on 20 amps you can cut about 1/4 inch. On 220 you can can about 1/2 inch,
Nice video? What cfm air compressor did you use and at what PSI?
See my reply in the Part 2 video comments.
Same one I have, and it ROCKS

(2:05) "I think the gun is, like, 12 meters..." Correct: the Hynade PLC-50DP includes a 40-foot umbilical.
Yeah I misspoke. I corrected myself in the overlay text on the screen, in the video description, and clarified that point in the part 2 video.
“Surprise surprise it comes in a box with some packing material “🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good review, think I'll get this one. In your next video, give us a review on that Nason epoxy. 😁
Haha that's not epoxy. That's the old cheap Grey lacquer primer. I never graduated to epoxy, too expensive for my skill level.
Can you put the link where I can buy

I've been watching lots of videos, looking for one to buy. Your review was very helpful.
Are you working on a YJ?
Thanks for posting.

Like buying harbor freight’s i returned it after first use an bought a real machine Thermal Dynamics
The tip of the cutter is not a hammer....lol
12 meters ? maybe 12 feet a meters a litle longer than a yard

How bout you start tracing a hammer with that plasma cutter instead of using the 🤦♂️.
