The short leader air hose is a great idea, I'm left wondering why the heck I didn't think of that. My knees don't like concrete so much any more, either. That's a must-do mod, cheers.
Good job! I am only laughing because you can"t see what we see while watching you! I wondered how long before you figured out the ground was laying on the bench! LOL With me, I forget to turn the gas on my MIG welder! Surprise! I can see me doing what you did with a plasma cutter too. I am seriously considering this machine based on your videos! Thanks $299 here in the Peoples Republic of Canada, but still a good deal!
I have a new hynade 60 , but I can use my consumables more than a week , I have water tramps , when I'm cutting with the cnc , starts a whistle from the tip and doesn't cut , what I'm doing wrong ?? Hope you can help me
My compressor is a typical 60-gallon upright home shop Ingersol Rand compressor I bought form Tractor Supply years ago. It's rated somewhere around 9.8 cfm @ 90 psi and I run it to about 150-155 psi. The compressor ratings really don't matter much in running the plasma cutter though. The plasma comes with an air pressure regulator that you will run around 40-60 psig and the cfm consumption will come from the reserve air built up in your air tank, not from the compressor running. So to me as long as you have a decent size tank of say 15 gallon or larger you should be good to go.
First off thanks for both plasma cutter reviews. Very informative. I just got a multi voltage , multi function Mig/ Stick/ Tig (if I buy a torch kit and argon) welder. I am thinking plasma cutter is next on the list. I will go through your channel and see if you have any more follow ups, sounds like a great unit for the money. Speaking of money what did that batch of consumables cost ya? Have you seen the guide that fits on the ceramic but has rollers? It looks a lot like the new metal guide that came with your consumables but it has rollers on the ends of the forks that touch the metal. Now to the elephant in the room. That truck is amazing. I have always been a Ford guy but my grand pa had a Chevy truck like yours except it was a long bed and it wasn't a step side. Becase of that I have always liked that body style. I assume if you put the transfer case in 2 wheel one axle runs? Is it the front axel? It is beautiful and you have done a great job so far. I nominate you get it drivable and don't sweat the body work. None of us is promised the next 10 years, the next year or even tomorrow. It looks great as is. Get it drivable and have fun with it. I saw your road sign about being a grand parent. Take that truck to shows and bring some grand kids along. Give them some memories that don't involve their smartphones. I am a subscriber now and will be watching that build.
Thank you for the kind words. I've never been afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. May as well post them for others to learn from as well, lol. I know what guide you describe. I've been using with no guide and it has been working very well for me so far. Practice does help! For the truck, yes I can run 2wd front axle or 4Hi for both axles. Can't use 4Lo though because the axles would spin at different speeds.

Just remember you don’t need clean material with pilot arc but you still need clean like new material for your ground clamp to clamp to !!! It makes a lot of difference in keeping your machine from running hot
The reason that the 115V plug can handle 30 amps is that both flat pins are carrying 15 amps each at 180 degrees out of phase. There is no neutral inside the plasma cutter. both wires are "hot". the ground is just a ground in case of a problem.
What I don't understand it's got a 20amp plug coming out the back and a 50amp adapter to that 20amp plug doesn't sound safe to pump 50amp through a 20amp plug and wire would make more sense to have the 50amp coming out the back with a 20amp adapter, just my two cents.
LOL I did notice you had the clamp off, but I was amazed that it was still working as well as it did because everyone says to put the clamp as close to the cut as possible for the best results, so that's crazy!
@@hotrodyj It's probably the most common mistake that everyone makes time and time again while manual plasma cutting, so it's nothing to be embarrassed about at all! | Thanks for the vids man, they are very appreciated!
You are traveling too fast for your amperage. The spark flow should be slightly bent but not more than 10-15 degrees. And you are traveling before you penetrate through the material. You have to wait until it penetrates.

Informative video. What is the size of your air compressor that you use in terms of Cfm and psi? thanks

Where did you get a left handed visa?
Lol my phone recorded the bideo mirrored. One of these days I'll learn how to fix that.
@@hotrodyj I just bought the 45D, so I guess time will tell. I’m not trying to cut any thing past a 1/2 inch anyway.

We all make mistakes but sometimes that leads to learnings as well. Lol.

Thanks for the vids man, they are very appreciated!
You need shade #6 or a little bit better for plasma cutting
They don't even list this any longer
Brilliant video thank u 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
On sale at Amison for $186 today!
You’re using the guard the wrong way it’s supposed to be open towards your cutting
Makes since. Thanks for the tip.
Wrong on the plug I've got 20 amp plugs in my garage that look like a standard plug.
You are traveling too fast for your amperage. The spark flow should be slightly bent but not more than 10-15 degrees. And you are traveling before you penetrate through the material. You have to wait until it penetrates.
😊get a good ground to your work piece she will cut 1000 times better
Sheesh🤪
