Nice ! Thank U! For the shared Research! This is VERY Empowering! I am a 35 year Veteran . Custom Mobile Welding Professional. Time to settle down and work from Home 😎
Another fantastic video Mike! Thank you for taking the time to make these review videos. They are great. Not everyone has boatloads of money to spend on professional equipment, so it's nice to see more budget friendly options.
So refreshing to find someone that understand what is good enough, not necessarily the best. The majority of your viewers are weekend warriors, and you understand that.
I bought the last one you recommended from Amazon. I never even got to use it and a friend of mine had to have it.. so he bought it off me. Then I found out they no longer carry it so I was in the market for another. Thank you.
Mike - Thanks for the new review. Also, thanks for the neat tip for the bend location marker. That’s really clever and what I live about your followers. We all get better. 👍👍😎👍👍
Mike - I really appreciate the thought process you inject into the videos and how you do something, design something and go through the process. This was an awesome look into how to setup plasma on a water table. Looking forward to when I have a setup!
Thanks for checking out my new video Roger! Yes I like to add extra info to help others. I actually always want to add more but some folks gripe about me talking too much 😂 it’s a balance I guess 👍 Take care and have a great weekend!
Great video Mike. Was wanting one and then I see this video so, you talked me into it. Just arrived and tested it out. Amazing. Eventually it will be paired up with the Crossfire table. Getting close to start fabbing up some fun machines like you.
Mike, I plan to make a magnetic hold down for my shop. I'll probably use the coils from the clutch from car ac compressors. They're 12v and made to run long duty cycles.
Great video Mike would have love to seen some free hand cuts with it but i get you were trying to go apples to apples and how thick can it cut? Thank you so much for all you do!
Hi Mike, I've watched all of your reviews on plasma cutters as I've been in the market myself. I'm planning on a handheld machine, but I have some dexterity issues. I run a manual only shop and I'm not interested in bringing a computer in. I do have interest in a plasma table, just not CNC. Back in the days of torch cutting, there were pattern tables that allowed you to mimic most basic shapes. More useful to my needs, there used to be a popular accessory that was nothing more than a guide rail about 18 inches long that assured a straight cut. I was kind of planning on manufacturing a water table and some simple rail system like this. I will almost definitely be building it in such a way that the plasma cutter can be quickly removed to be used manually. I believe at least 60% of the time I will just want fast casual cuts like this. I was fairly set on the best Arc until this video. It can be rather difficult to compare these side by side. I don't have any firsthand experience running a plasma cutter though I'm very familiar with a machine shop otherwise. For my particular use case, do you think having these CNC ready features would still be beneficial? Are there any downsides to normal manual use? Thank you in advance for any guidance you have to offer
I followed your lead and bought the Cut60DN plasma cutter from Hynade a few days ago. I have been trying to wire up my Langmuir table with the THC module, but I am having some issues with trying to get everything connected up properly. There are a Torch On/Off connection and a THC connection that are both mounted on the Langmuir control box, that I assume need wires connected to both for them to work properly. I also bought a Torch Height Control Module and there are a lot of connections to be made to it There are the DIV INPUT, the DIV OUTPUT, the PV OUTPUT , and those are the ones located on the ends. Then there are two more connections, one marked TORCH (black) and one marked CLAMP. (red) on the flat sides. I probably forgot to mention that I am very electrical wiring challenged when it comes to making up proper connections. CN YOU HELP ME PLEASE?!
Mike, could you also do a review or short suggested air compressor size recommended for running the plasma torches and setups in your opinion. Thank you! Two Thumbz 👍👍
Hey Mike, Great video as usual and thanks for demo'ing the Bauer surfacing tool. Not available on line yet, so I'm going to HF Sat and buy me one. I have a few Bauer corded tools and really love 'em. Also love my Hynade flux core welder and my Bestarc cut55 plasma. I'm going to have to quit watching your channel, because you're causing me to spend too much $$ on tools/welders, LOL. Cheers.
Excellent "real" review. I was astonished that there wasn't any inserted humor pics in the video. I need a plasma cutter so this might be the one for me.
Thanks for checking out my new video Jon! I mentioned in the end of the video I have owned the Hynade plasma for 3 months but that shot was taken 2 months ago so I actually have had it for about 5 months and it’s still working really well. Sometimes I do like to hide like things in my videos but didn’t got around to it in this one. Tell you what, I have a Pinzgauer video coming out in Two weeks, I will add a little something in there for you Jon 🙂👍
Hi Mike, based on your recommendation i just purchased the Hynade CUT 60DN - using your link. All this is new to me and I could follow along with your wiring instruction until it came to the 4 pin connector. How did you wire that connector? I only got the connector tip. Thanks much!
Mike, this out of sequence but a thought you may see & use on the center-articulation tractor you build removable front fenders for. Since you can remove then in the field, find a spot and weld two squares these can be stored in. Like the side the the dump bed! It is better that tossing them into the back to get scratches or bent. Just a thought. I worked on our family farm equipment since I was the oldest but this was before you were born. But leaving home at 14 (Family issues) but never went to tech school or high school did have a shop. But I spent my entire life working on vehicles & the last 7 teaching & holding tech seminars in 7 Midwest states before Dr. pulled the plug on working. Had a boss argue for 20 minutes to run a rented jumping jack earth compactor at 28 and destroyed my back. It got better to work at dealer, but old age has this “arthritis” thing and had 11 procedures, finally implant with spinal electrodes and they placed them wrong. So can’t even walk, just enough to mail box. Enjoyed the build surround by tools and use them ten minutes out of every 2-3 hrs. I had no cell since 2008 and TH-cam has been fun. I have to learn aftermarket parts to build a 67 C10 to have a vehicle. At 6’ 3”, I don’t fit well in most even average weight but getting in & out is real hard. The truck fits and given free. A EFI Tahoe engine will make reliable and the OD auto I built on bench 2019 will help with fuel and made to handle 600HP with a basic stock 390 HO engine so I don’t have do repairs. All GM parts that are common & priced well. But, I have to get room in my garage as it is a 1 1/2 car to begin! Enjoy the vids, but having a place to hang your fenders when off is an idea.
I have had this on my wish list for a couple months, I think it has been since you did the video on the bestarc, I decided to pull the trigger based on this video! I think this is going to work well for when I finally build my plasma table.
Another great product review video Mike. I am so glad that you do these since I, and a couple of my friends, are very interested in these same tools. You also do a great job on your project videos. You have great ingenuity and an ability to think outside of the box. Keep up the great work! Also, it is cool that you are a fellow western Washingtonian (I live on Camano Island). Two thumbs up!
I was on the fence about Bauer rust buster, but as usual, you've been the convincing recommendation. Not what I expected from the vid, but great bonus content! ✌️
That tool definitely does well on removing old rust and paint. Definitely worth having in your shop. Thanks for checking out my new video 🙂 Have a great weekend 👍
YES, it IS Amazing how much cheaper the "Plasma Cutter's" are now-a-days. my first one cost me over $3500.00 back in the mid-1990's and it Was Huge also an "Console Unit". Thanks for the Tip's in this video and the Saving's too I just might get one of these and try it out, Thanks.
Hi Mike: I think I saw a video that you made, over on Amazon, for the ARCFONY Cut53N plasma, cutter, and the ARCDROID. At least somebody did a really good impersonation of your voice if it was not you! I’m about ready to pull the trigger on that Cut53N, as it looks really good with the exact features I want such as a front panel pressure gauge. In truth, I am probably going to have bought it by the time you put out a video on it. But just in case you are about ready to pull your own trigger on releasing that video, know that there is someone here that would dearly love to have a confirmation that this is a good purchase. I’m also very interested to hear your assessment of the arcdroid. Really, I was only looking for a simple plasma cutter with blow back pilot arc, and a Front panel pressure gauge, and of course, for a lowest price. It’s amazing how difficult that combination seems to be. Plenty of high frequency, low-cost options, but getting what I wanted appears to have been difficult. I was not overtly looking for the CNC, but if I can get exactly what I want in the other areas, and only have to pay a few more dollars for the CNC, then I think that raises this product to a bye. Thanks for all you do!
Hey that’s probably a video from me, I sent one to the guys at Arcfony showing them that the plasma works great on the Arcdroid. They sent it out to me about 5 months ago to see if I liked it, they have been showing me photos and talking about features with me for the past year as they developed it. It’s been a great plasma so far especially for the bargain price. I have a video coming out next Friday showing how I made a down draft cutting table for my Arcdroid, the Arcfony Cut53N is used in that video as well. I think you will like the video. I plan to cover a few more videos using the Arcfony with the Arcdroid this summer on projects. Take care 😊👍 Ps I’m talking with them about a 05MIKEWELD promo code that would save people 5%. Hopefully I can get that worked out when the video post on Friday 👍
Looks a lot like the herocut I bought for my homemade cnc table a couple years ago and I was sad to see they dont offer it anymore. Nice to see other affoardable option of blowback machines available
Mike I am starting down the same path that you took with regards to getting a plasma table. I think I am also going exactly the same path in that I am leaning heavily towards the Crossfire vs the Pro due to space and the ability to move it around. I primarily build muscle cars but also an odd project from time to time. I wanted to know if you still recommend this plasma cutter or not?
Great video Mike. Which plasma cutter would you recommend, the Arcfony CUT53N or the Hynade CUT60DN for plasma table cutting up to 1" thick steel plate?
Well I really liked the Arcfony for 3/8” and thinner metal, it works really well and never misses a start on any cuts. If you are looking to cut 1” I wouldn’t recommend either plasma cutter. You probably want to get at least an 80 AMP plasma cutter. You are looking to cut way heavier steel then most people do so you are looking at probably spending some extra cash for a bigger machine capable of 1” Capacity and greater duty cycle.
A brilliant man what shows the audience everything step by step brilliant videos love watching in thank you👀♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@Mikefestiva have you heard anything from Hynade that they might be closing? I currently have there plasma and my cnc and like it and thinking about upgrading to there welder but don't want to if they are. There website is no longer available thanks
Got a little 110/220 flux core machine from these guys for my work trailer. It does have some odd way to setbit, but it is incredibly impressive what it will weld on 110v. Its been reliable thus far and has worked every time i pull it out. Hopefully it works long term but it has already paid for itself. Now i need a plasma. I have nice welders in the shop, but a plasma is so "simple" i have a hard tkme spending big bucks on one. Shouldn't be all that expensive imho
The manual covers the pin outs, I even showed the manual in the video and hooking up some of the wiring. I also used the CNC ports on my CNC table. Just look at 1:35 I show the wiring pin outs in the manual, just pause the video and take a photo if you need that.
Very nice. You should sell of if these “kits” you make. Without the room currently for a -kasha table, I would buy one. It’s too much hassle to make otherwise.
Subscribed. What program do you use to design your parts? What file type for the machine to follow? Thanks - definately need to get a CNC table figured out. I figure if I can slug my way through free cad and tinker cad I should be able to figure this out.
Alright mike yeswelder vs primeweld. Cannot find a head to head comparison between the two. I’m leaning towards a yeswelder but for the money primeweld looks pretty dang good to. Considering for 500 bucks the one setup comes with a spool gun. Would be great to hear your thoughts
It’s still cutting good, I actually have been running a different plasma on my Arcdroid CNC table and I would recommend checking out this video and see what you think. Arcdroid, Down draft table, Arcfony CNC plasma cutter th-cam.com/video/fjpM_XJuNo4/w-d-xo.html
Have you tried that surfacing tool on any carbon diamond plate? I need to clean the rust off of a couple 4' x 8' sheets and if that thing will work on them, I need to go get it. Wasn't sure if it would get in between the raised diamonds or not.
Possible replacement for my original CUT 40 from 2004. I was planning to replace the torch with a grounded torch to get it working for CNC, but may not be worth the effort. Watched video over on Making Stuff on a pre-production YES CT2050 plasma cutter/Tig/ARC welder with built in compressor and dual voltage that interests me as well. Thanks for the reviews.
Sounds like you got a great run on that Cut 40! This Hynade being a blow back pilot arc start is really nice and works great especially on paint or rusted surfaces. The fact you can always add it to a CNC table down the road is a big benefit also 👍
Would you be willing to do a video on what to look for when buying a plasma cutter? I want to start with freehand cutting but move up to a CNC machine. Secondary question, if you were starting from nothing regarding plasma cutter what would you buy?
Hello Jerry 🙂 Here’s a good video I made talking about options to look for when buying a plasma cutter. Honestly if I was planning on buying a CNC table in the future I would buy a blow back pilot arc start model. You can make free hand cuts with it then connect it to a CNC table down the road. I’m always working on a budget so If I was starting over I probably would buy the Hynade in this video because it’s one of the most affordable CNC capable plasma cutters on the market, you can also use it for free hand cutting. The only thing is time will tell how it holds up? It’s still working fine but I only have 6 months on it, the Titanium 45 I have 3 years on and it’s still working great 👍 th-cam.com/video/LhZWKc6tFLc/w-d-xo.html
I have been very pleased with my hynade cut60 DN plasma cutter purchase. It has worked perfectly with my Arcdroid until this evening, when it suddenly stopped working. Whether using the Arcdroid, or switching to the hand torch, it will not maintain an arc. New consumables new shroud doesn’t make a difference. Can you point me to someone that can help me troubleshoot it?
I would connect Hynade and ask them about the warranty and if they can help diagnose the issue. I do know these plasma cutters have an air pressure switch, they need about 90 PSI ran to the unit. I’m sure you are providing that but I figured I would suggest looking at that.
Excellent! I'm building a new CNC, and would like to add a plasma cutter so I'm watching and learning. It's good to get a recommendation to know what the price of entry is, and what to look for for this type of application. It looks like there is a straight torch cutting head available too.
Just wanted to say "thanks" for posting this. I had JUST purchased a similar machine on Amazon but then cancelled that order and purchased this one (and with your discount code it wasn't that much more :) Really appreciate it. Quick question: Which water filter/trap did you end up putting on the unit?
Hello Mike, this is the first video of yours I have watched. It was quite informative and I enjoyed it. I was wondering what THC controller that you are running? Also, is there a Video that describes the grounding setup you used.
Are the consumables used by the Hynade CUT60DN proprietary? Will consumables from Hypertherm, Miller, Lincoln or other established brands work? I am considering a purchase of the Hynade CUT80DN but concerned of availability of consumables in the future. I purchase the crossfire pro CNC plasma table based on your recommendations and review of the product and had no regrets . I would be comfortable to buy the Hynade plasma cutter based on your review only unsure about the availability of consumables in the future. Thank you for sharing your project builds with us.
Hey Mike! I just bought this Hynade Cut60-DN for my Crossfire Pro CNC Table but can't find the csfm rating to know what compressor size I will need. Hobby use, only a few hours per week but anticipate some longer/larger cuts at some point. I don't want to undersize but don't want to break the bank either.
Mike any idea how many CFM of air this machine (60 amp) and the 80 amp machine require? Didn't see it in the specs. Nice demo, great low cost machine. Dan
Curious about the wiring into the thc box. It looks like you aren’t using the CNC (4 pin) connection into the THC module even though it is wired up. Is that correct?
Hi Mike, wonder if you would you recommend this plasma cutter over any other or was this recommendation solely based on price and its ability to be used with the table? Thanks for making this video btw... really hyped on buying the table soon too :)
Hey Alex I feel that the fact it’s a 60 amp blow back pilot arc start with CNC plugs on the back make it a great plasma to get for free hand cutting. Once you get some extra cash saved for a crossfire table it’s ready to connect right up to it. The price point is definitely another good thing. Honestly my recommendation would be this plasma or the Titanium 45 just because I have ran both of those on my CNC and they both cut really well. Take care 🙂👍
@@MikefestivaThanks Mike for the quick response! Really appreciate that. Any reason why you didn't get the plasma cutter that langmuire sells rather than experimenting with the Titanium and hynade?
Would this work with their height control? Also will you be doing any more videos on fusion 360? I have been slowly watching all your videos, you have inspired me to get a crossfire 2x2 table. Im ordering it this week.
Hay Mikes watch most of your videos! In one of them you used a template that had different size round holes and slots that were also different shapes . Did you make that or buy it ? Nice addition for hand cutting I would like to have one if you can tell me where to get one . Maybe put it on Langmuir share page
Mike, Donn DIY made his own CNC machine, and he used free cnc software. To operate bit. He's made some awesome looking and functioning parts on his. I'm not sure which plasma cutter he uses with his.
I’m pretty sure DIY Donn bought a CNC table from a company that he helped set up in his shop. I do know he made the water table but I’m pretty sure he got most of the electronics and gantry from a company. He definitely gets a lot of cutting done on his CNC 🙂👍
So it looks like you've tried several of these low cost plasma cutters; which one would you purchase now? Yeswelder, bestarc, hynade, as of now they are pretty close in price. Do you think the brand name matters?
I think it mainly comes down to if you plan to buy a CNC table in the future or not. If you’re not then probably the Bestarc BTC500DP would be my suggestion. If you do plan of getting a CNC in the future it would be the Hynade CUT60DN or the Arcfony CUT53N pro. Both of those are CNC plug and play and work well on a CNC or free hand cutting. Hope this helps.

Hello Mike! How can i get in touch with you?
mike is the best. i wouldn’t have bought a Langmuir without you. i also bought a hynade cut 60 couldnt be happier

That little triangle indicator mark is brilliant who would have thought it I mean seriously what a genius little simple thing
Well now I want a table too, not sure exactly what I would make but my mind is always thinking of something. Thanks for everything
Mike - Thanks for the new review. Also, thanks for the neat tip for the bend location marker. That’s really clever and what I live about your followers. We all get better. 👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks, I purchased a pro for the Ag Shop thanks to some great donors. We went with the Hynade Cut80 and the machine torch. It is cutting great.
Mike - I really appreciate the thought process you inject into the videos and how you do something, design something and go through the process. This was an awesome look into how to setup plasma on a water table. Looking forward to when I have a setup!

I must have the videos mixed up, I was looking for the link to the break bend table. Thanks again Mike.
Wow! What an amazing machine. Id love to nab one of those plasma cutters someday.
Mike, I plan to make a magnetic hold down for my shop. I'll probably use the coils from the clutch from car ac compressors. They're 12v and made to run long duty cycles.
Bryant Fry,
Thanks for sharing that idea.

Mike, this out of sequence but a thought you may see & use on the center-articulation tractor you build removable front fenders for. Since you can remove then in the field, find a spot and weld two squares these can be stored in. Like the side the the dump bed! It is better that tossing them into the back to get scratches or bent. Just a thought.

Thanks for checking out my new video! I really appreciate it 🙂👍
YES, it IS Amazing how much cheaper the "Plasma Cutter's" are now-a-days. my first one cost me over $3500.00 back in the mid-1990's and it Was Huge also an "Console Unit". Thanks for the Tip's in this video and the Saving's too I just might get one of these and try it out, Thanks.
It’s definitely crazy how cost has come down along with the size of the welders and plasma cutters now days! Thanks for checking out my new video 👍🙂

Hi Mike: I think I saw a video that you made, over on Amazon, for the ARCFONY Cut53N plasma, cutter, and the ARCDROID. At least somebody did a really good impersonation of your voice if it was not you! I’m about ready to pull the trigger on that Cut53N, as it looks really good with the exact features I want such as a front panel pressure gauge. In truth, I am probably going to have bought it by the time you put out a video on it. But just in case you are about ready to pull your own trigger on releasing that video, know that there is someone here that would dearly love to have a confirmation that this is a good purchase. I’m also very interested to hear your assessment of the arcdroid. Really, I was only looking for a simple plasma cutter with blow back pilot arc, and a Front panel pressure gauge, and of course, for a lowest price. It’s amazing how difficult that combination seems to be. Plenty of high frequency, low-cost options, but getting what I wanted appears to have been difficult. I was not overtly looking for the CNC, but if I can get exactly what I want in the other areas, and only have to pay a few more dollars for the CNC, then I think that raises this product to a bye. Thanks for all you do!
Hey that’s probably a video from me, I sent one to the guys at Arcfony showing them that the plasma works great on the Arcdroid.
They sent it out to me about 5 months ago to see if I liked it, they have been showing me photos and talking about features with me for the past year as they developed it.
It’s been a great plasma so far especially for the bargain price.
I have a video coming out next Friday showing how I made a down draft cutting table for my Arcdroid, the Arcfony Cut53N is used in that video as well. I think you will like the video.
I plan to cover a few more videos using the Arcfony with the Arcdroid this summer on projects.
Take care 😊👍
Ps I’m talking with them about a 05MIKEWELD promo code that would save people 5%. Hopefully I can get that worked out when the video post on Friday 👍
Looks a lot like the herocut I bought for my homemade cnc table a couple years ago and I was sad to see they dont offer it anymore. Nice to see other affoardable option of blowback machines available
Another great video Mike. It's great to have a plasma cutter and a CNC table with it, very useful tools to have.
Thank you 👍
Great video. Bought a Hynade 140D mig and like it, what is your opinion on their MTA 225 SG ? Thank You
Having seen this I find myself curious as to how well a MIG or TIG would perform along these same lines.
Mike I am starting down the same path that you took with regards to getting a plasma table. I think I am also going exactly the same path in that I am leaning heavily towards the Crossfire vs the Pro due to space and the ability to move it around. I primarily build muscle cars but also an odd project from time to time. I wanted to know if you still recommend this plasma cutter or not?
Hi thanks for the review, any problems with this unit yet?
No my CUT60 is still working good 👍
Awesome video!! You amaze me every time with your fab skills, you make it look so easy!! Thanks for sharing I’m really glad you made this video!!
You just saved me $400!!!
Great video Mike. Which plasma cutter would you recommend, the Arcfony CUT53N or the Hynade CUT60DN for plasma table cutting up to 1" thick steel plate?
Well I really liked the Arcfony for 3/8” and thinner metal, it works really well and never misses a start on any cuts. If you are looking to cut 1” I wouldn’t recommend either plasma cutter. You probably want to get at least an 80 AMP plasma cutter. You are looking to cut way heavier steel then most people do so you are looking at probably spending some extra cash for a bigger machine capable of 1”
Capacity and greater duty cycle.
A brilliant man what shows the audience everything step by step brilliant videos love watching in thank you👀♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent video ! Do you have a video on how to program the computer for plasma, how to cut the pieces. Thank Radames
I do have a couple Fusion 360 videos th-cam.com/video/WNlXnP6Y0iw/w-d-xo.html , th-cam.com/video/7WLEVkx4BIY/w-d-xo.html
@Mikefestiva have you heard anything from Hynade that they might be closing? I currently have there plasma and my cnc and like it and thinking about upgrading to there welder but don't want to if they are. There website is no longer available thanks
Got a little 110/220 flux core machine from these guys for my work trailer. It does have some odd way to setbit, but it is incredibly impressive what it will weld on 110v. Its been reliable thus far and has worked every time i pull it out. Hopefully it works long term but it has already paid for itself.
Now i need a plasma. I have nice welders in the shop, but a plasma is so "simple" i have a hard tkme spending big bucks on one. Shouldn't be all that expensive imho
Thank you for a great video. I am running a Hypertherm machine that causes constant issues. Are these newer machines less prone to problems?
Hey Mike, did you happen to put together a cheat sheet for this plasma, speeds and feeds?
Thank U! For the shared Research!
Would like to see using the cnc ports as there is no instructions in the manual on using them. Where the pins connect, yes.
The manual covers the pin outs, I even showed the manual in the video and hooking up some of the wiring. I also used the CNC ports on my CNC table. Just look at 1:35 I show the wiring pin outs in the manual, just pause the video and take a photo if you need that.
@Mikefestiva hope you don't mind, got 1 more question. The 4 prong wire may I ask where you got that lead? I'm somewhat new to cnc still learning.
Thank you Mike! Definitely considering this for my homemade build! Cheers!
Right on! Do you have any videos posted of your build on YT?
Very nice. You should sell of if these “kits” you make. Without the room currently for a -kasha table, I would buy one. It’s too much hassle to make otherwise.
Really like your videos! Looking at getting a plasma cutter but was wondering what size air compressor are you running with your plasma cutters?
@mikefestiva, What did you connect the arc voltage and signal control to on your cnc cutter?
Really great video, and an awsome how to on getting it all set up and working great. Love the content Mike! Always enjoy watching your videos!
Right on thanks a lot 👍
Subscribed. What program do you use to design your parts? What file type for the machine to follow? Thanks - definately need to get a CNC table figured out. I figure if I can slug my way through free cad and tinker cad I should be able to figure this out.
I use Fusion 360 but I really don’t like the program much, it’s really complex and I only use about 10% of it for 2D drawing.
Curious what you would recommend if someone wanted only one budget welder!? Great video!
Alright mike yeswelder vs primeweld. Cannot find a head to head comparison between the two. I’m leaning towards a yeswelder but for the money primeweld looks pretty dang good to. Considering for 500 bucks the one setup comes with a spool gun. Would be great to hear your thoughts
Hello Mike,
If I buy the smaller crossfire, can I later just buy/build longer rails to expand it?
Mike I really like your videos, they are very informative. I would love to here what you think on the Yeswelder YWM-211P and their CUT-60DS
Mike its been 2 years since you got the Hynade plasma cutter how did it held up . Thank you in advance.
It’s still cutting good, I actually have been running a different plasma on my Arcdroid CNC table and I would recommend checking out this video and see what you think. Arcdroid, Down draft table, Arcfony CNC plasma cutter
th-cam.com/video/fjpM_XJuNo4/w-d-xo.html
Great video. Mike how thick will this cut clean ? Need to make a purchase before I retire. This and a tig machine.
Love the tool tray!
@mike festiva - what settings did you use to set this cutter up in the Fusion 360 software?
Have you tried that surfacing tool on any carbon diamond plate? I need to clean the rust off of a couple 4' x 8' sheets and if that thing will work on them, I need to go get it. Wasn't sure if it would get in between the raised diamonds or not.
Great video Mike, thanks for making it!
Thanks Sean
What size breaker are you using 220v?
Just dropping them knowledge bombs left and right, thanks @Mike!!!
Thanks Tom! Have a great weekend 🙂👍
Hi Mike, I was wondering if you would know where I can find a voltage divider for a 45 amp plasma cutter so I can get my cnc plasma table going
Hope to see more actual projects.
Possible replacement for my original CUT 40 from 2004. I was planning to replace the torch with a grounded torch to get it working for CNC, but may not be worth the effort. Watched video over on Making Stuff on a pre-production YES CT2050 plasma cutter/Tig/ARC welder with built in compressor and dual voltage that interests me as well. Thanks for the reviews.
Sounds like you got a great run on that Cut 40! This Hynade being a blow back pilot arc start is really nice and works great especially on paint or rusted surfaces.
The fact you can always add it to a CNC table down the road is a big benefit also 👍
Would you be willing to do a video on what to look for when buying a plasma cutter? I want to start with freehand cutting but move up to a CNC machine. Secondary question, if you were starting from nothing regarding plasma cutter what would you buy?
Hello Jerry 🙂
Here’s a good video I made talking about options to look for when buying a plasma cutter.
Honestly if I was planning on buying a CNC table in the future I would buy a blow back pilot arc start model.
You can make free hand cuts with it then connect it to a CNC table down the road.
I’m always working on a budget so If I was starting over I probably would buy the Hynade in this video because it’s one of the most affordable CNC capable plasma cutters on the market, you can also use it for free hand cutting. The only thing is time will tell how it holds up? It’s still working fine but I only have 6 months on it, the Titanium 45 I have 3 years on and it’s still working great 👍

I have been very pleased with my hynade cut60 DN plasma cutter purchase. It has worked perfectly with my Arcdroid until this evening, when it suddenly stopped working. Whether using the Arcdroid, or switching to the hand torch, it will not maintain an arc. New consumables new shroud doesn’t make a difference. Can you point me to someone that can help me troubleshoot it?
I would connect Hynade and ask them about the warranty and if they can help diagnose the issue. I do know these plasma cutters have an air pressure switch, they need about 90 PSI ran to the unit. I’m sure you are providing that but I figured I would suggest looking at that.
Excellent! I'm building a new CNC, and would like to add a plasma cutter so I'm watching and learning. It's good to get a recommendation to know what the price of entry is, and what to look for for this type of application. It looks like there is a straight torch cutting head available too.
Mike have you done an update on PC yet? Thanks in advance
Good info Mike! Seems like a good unit/price that you can run on the CNC!
Thanks for watching!!!
Just wanted to say "thanks" for posting this. I had JUST purchased a similar machine on Amazon but then cancelled that order and purchased this one (and with your discount code it wasn't that much more :) Really appreciate it. Quick question: Which water filter/trap did you end up putting on the unit?
Hello Mike, this is the first video of yours I have watched. It was quite informative and I enjoyed it. I was wondering what THC controller that you are running?
Also, is there a Video that describes the grounding setup you used.
Are the consumables used by the Hynade CUT60DN proprietary? Will consumables from Hypertherm, Miller, Lincoln or other established brands work? I am considering a purchase of the Hynade CUT80DN but concerned of availability of consumables in the future. I purchase the crossfire pro CNC plasma table based on your recommendations and review of the product and had no regrets . I would be comfortable to buy the Hynade plasma cutter based on your review only unsure about the availability of consumables in the future. Thank you for sharing your project builds with us.
Finally! Someone who asks for the like and subscribe at the end once you've experienced the product.
Hey Mike! I just bought this Hynade Cut60-DN for my Crossfire Pro CNC Table but can't find the csfm rating to know what compressor size I will need. Hobby use, only a few hours per week but anticipate some longer/larger cuts at some point. I don't want to undersize but don't want to break the bank either.
Mike any idea how many CFM of air this machine (60 amp) and the 80 amp machine require? Didn't see it in the specs. Nice demo, great low cost machine. Dan
Curious about the wiring into the thc box. It looks like you aren’t using the CNC (4 pin) connection into the THC module even though it is wired up. Is that correct?
Love it Mike! Thanks for the great vid. and the links :) Cheers! Gary
Thanks for watching Gary
Hi Mike, wonder if you would you recommend this plasma cutter over any other or was this recommendation solely based on price and its ability to be used with the table? Thanks for making this video btw... really hyped on buying the table soon too :)
Hey Alex I feel that the fact it’s a 60 amp blow back pilot arc start with CNC plugs on the back make it a great plasma to get for free hand cutting.
Once you get some extra cash saved for a crossfire table it’s ready to connect right up to it.
The price point is definitely another good thing.
Honestly my recommendation would be this plasma or the Titanium 45 just because I have ran both of those on my CNC and they both cut really well.
Take care 🙂👍
@@MikefestivaThanks Mike for the quick response! Really appreciate that. Any reason why you didn't get the plasma cutter that langmuire sells rather than experimenting with the Titanium and hynade?
Would this work with their height control? Also will you be doing any more videos on fusion 360? I have been slowly watching all your videos, you have inspired me to get a crossfire 2x2 table. Im ordering it this week.
Hay Mikes watch most of your videos! In one of them you used a template that had different size round holes and slots that were also different shapes .
Did you make that or buy it ? Nice addition for hand cutting I would like to have one if you can tell me where to get one . Maybe put it on Langmuir share page
Mike, Donn DIY made his own CNC machine, and he used free cnc software. To operate bit. He's made some awesome looking and functioning parts on his. I'm not sure which plasma cutter he uses with his.
I’m pretty sure DIY Donn bought a CNC table from a company that he helped set up in his shop. I do know he made the water table but I’m pretty sure he got most of the electronics and gantry from a company. He definitely gets a lot of cutting done on his CNC 🙂👍
@@Mikefestiva I would think that the electrical parts are more complicated than the water table.
So it looks like you've tried several of these low cost plasma cutters; which one would you purchase now?
Yeswelder, bestarc, hynade, as of now they are pretty close in price. Do you think the brand name matters?
I think it mainly comes down to if you plan to buy a CNC table in the future or not. If you’re not then probably the Bestarc BTC500DP would be my suggestion.
If you do plan of getting a CNC in the future it would be the Hynade CUT60DN or the Arcfony CUT53N pro.
Both of those are CNC plug and play and work well on a CNC or free hand cutting. Hope this helps.
