- This video I review the Harbor Freight Titanium series plasma 45, it’s a great compact inverter plasma torch with a output of 45 amps. It can be plugged into 120 volt or 240 volt outlets, on a 120 volts it can cut up to 1/4” cleanly.
This is the first of a few videos I plan to make covering this plasma torch, the next video I plan to run it on 240 and see how it cuts up to the max 5/8” mild steel the manual says it will cut, we will see?
I also plan on seeing how it works on our CNC table next!
I also cover some reviews of the Titanium 200 multi process welder, showing how it MIG, TIG, STICK and welds Aluminum with the optional spool gun. I review the Vulcan Omnipro 220 multi process welder and The Vulcan ProTig 200 AC/DC machine so Check out my TH-cam channel if you’re interested in those videos.

My man!
Do you have a review video for the Hynade, I'm interested on picking one up but Im skeptical without seeing how it performs. I can seem to find any videos of them online?
@@ZerbzZ I have a video I will be posting in a week or two on my channel, I have owned the Hynade for the past 5 months and it’s definitely a good unit. Keep an eye out for that video 👍
@@Mikefestiva Harbor freight is releasing a titanium 65 plasma cutter, about a week or two ago I was looking at consumables on their website and they have a 65 amp nozzle now and as of a few days ago it now says for titanium 65 plasma cutter. They are also have the 45 amp electrodes on clearance, I think they are going to sell only 65 amp electrodes which can be used at lower amperage which is what many manufacturers do. There is definitely better options then the titanium 45 for the money.
Thank you for not having the 2 hour unboxing! Straight and to the point is the best type of review.
LOVE how you skip the useless and dreaded unboxing! Keep it up! Great vids!
Remember 15+ year ago Mike, when we were stuck with crappy arc welders and flux core welders? Its amazing that you can walk into Harbor Freight of all places and pick up a quality plasma cutter. If you would have told me that back then, I never would have believed you.
Haha I know! It’s great that these welders and plasma torches are available at HF! After using inverter welders I really have no interest in running older transformer welders ever again 😂 Take care Joe!
@@Mikefestiva Same here when it comes to the older transformer welders. I'm spoiled. Just the small, light weight package sells itself.
The Titanium 45 would be a great addition to my home shop. Once again, really great explanation and demo, Mike. Super channel!! Keep on rollin’.
You've got the best channel for reviewing products like this. It's awesome. And for whatever reason the commercials on your videos aren't horrible Bloomberg ads or anything. Thanks for putting out good stuff
Great video, you did a thorough job of covering the specifications, gave a good visual display of the item front and back as well as a demonstration of the plasma cutter in action. Thank you, I’m sold.
ken bosco Thanks! I have ran this plasma torch now for the past 10 months without any problems and have cut over 400 feet on my CNC table building my 4x4 articulating truck. Here’s a video of it hooked to a CNC table th-cam.com/video/EMJFn1tOgh0/w-d-xo.html
I really like your videos. They get right to the point and showcase a lot of the less expensive brands that I think a bunch of us out here in the real world probably buy or at least are interested in. Not every welder, plasma cutter, etc. needs to be "industrial strength".
Thanks for the info 👍
I definitely hit the subscribe button on this one.
Great job, no fluff, appreciate the 3 year update and recommendation as well!
You have made me want the clean cuts. Looks like it works great. I have been using my angle grinder for years. Great review thanks
Mike, thanks for all of your videos. You do a great job consistently!
All of a sudden HF has a new hot selling tool, you are great at selling their products ! Awesome review!
Today I'll use mine for the first time,I'll be watching this video as i move along. Thanks.
They work great 👍 I have cut hundreds of feet with mine over the last few years on my CNC table, excellent plasma torch.
Thank you for your video 👍😎 I'm a mobile mechanic and that machine it's excellent for my job, and I been buying tools from harbor freight and I'm very happy.
👍👍👍👍👍🍺😎
I picked one up last night. Finally got to use it this afternoon. So far I cant complain. I like it alot.
I have been happy with mine so far, it’s been awesome on that CNC plasma table I just bought! Take care
Picked up mine yesterday, after watched your video review....TY
Thank you for running it on 120v. So many of the videos I see always say it functions on 120 but turn around and use it exclusively on 220v. I get that these machines all run optimally on 220 but there's a lot of DIY'ers that aren't going to use it on the higher voltage.
Yes David I wanted to start of with this first video on 120 volts because there’s been a lot of requests in past videos how the welders work on 120 volts, there’s a lot of people that only have 120 volts in there shop. Thanks for checking out my video 🙂
I'm trying to figure out what size wire and breaker I should run to my garage. I ran the 200 unlimited on a 20 amp breaker for 120v and it kept popping. I would like to put in a 240 outlet too but idk what size breaker I should use.
I used to work for a millwright about 30 yrs ago, And I couldn't afford a new plasma cutter back then, but after seeing this video,I will definitely have one now
I bet 30 years ago plasma torches would have need big bucks! This little machine works great, light weight and multi voltage is nice too. Take care
Great video! I know it will likely perform better @220 but I’m glad you demonstrated it with 120 so folks can see what the average guy can expect with household power! Thanks!
Thanks for checking out my video 👍
I run this machine on 220 in my shop all the time, like you mentioned 120 was to show the people that only have 120 volts in there shop what it can do.
I have owned this plasma for about 2 years now and it’s still rock solid. I have cut well over 800 feet of metal with it on my CNC table! Check out my articulating dump truck series or my mini pinzgauer build videos if you want to see this plasma running on a CNC table 👍
Cool little video. Got straight to the point. Seems like a decent machine. Looking forward to the next review of it.
Right on Tim! Thanks 🙂
Good video review Mike. I am impressed with the quality and squareness of cut.
K Owen yes I was really surprised how well it cut, especially 1/4” on 20 amps! Thanks for checking out my video 🙂
Love this guy. My buddy has been buying welders, tigs and the like on amazon trying to keep up with my Lincoln welders. And i will say even im supprised.
Great vid. Bought the Vulcan 200 after talking to you about it.
The cuts with the plasma look top notch. And for just 110-20amp, must say if they keep the price down I might buy this one also.
Great job once again.
Right on! I’m glad you got a Vulcan, they work really well. Thanks for checking out my video 🙂 i hope to hook this plasma torch up to my friends CNC plasma table, I will make a video on that soon. Take care
Nice review. Thanks for getting to the point very quickly.
Amazing reviewer you are Mike, thanks4sharing!
Right on! I really appreciate it 🙂
Awesome video Mike! I I really enjoy the way that you explain all of the features of the tools that you are reviewing and getting to see them in action. Looks like I’m going to have to buy one of those. The HarborFreight store near me is a very good and well stocked store. It’s in Jonesboro, Arkansas and all of the workers are top notch people that really knowledgeable about the products in the store.
Thanks Gary! I don’t know if you have seen my other videos yet but I use this Titanium 45 plasma torch in almost every video. I hooked it up to my CNC table and I have cut well over 800 feet of metal without any problems so far. It’s an awesome torch!
Take care 🙂
I just got a Titanium 200 in June this year. I didn't know that they made a plasma cutter to! I would certainly want one for myself also. Just an amateur welder, but getting better every time I weld. I'm building a frame with in a frame HF 10x20 canopy, mostly made from bed rails. I started 2 yrs ago and just now started back. I had to buy some angle iron to finish it up before winter sets in, I would like to get the roof on and see my car under it. If you like to see it, just hit my picture and see for yourself. I have learned a lot by watching your videos. I'll be looking forward for your next one, Thanks for the reviews.
Right on David! I will check your project out 🙂 thanks for commenting and checking out my video.
I have the titanium 170. Man that unit is a joy to use every time. My welds look great. Bought a cheep 400.00 dollar tig off Amazon. It's the one everyone was raving about on YT. And I have kinda not used it as much as I should.... since I got the titanium.
I love my 200!
Thanks for fast forwarding through the unboxing.
Hello I bought both the plasma cutter and the omni pro 220 and works great im not a pro welder but man this machines work amazing 👏 👍
Excited they finally came out with this! All of my welders are titanium series and so far they run great. Hoping theyd add a plasma torch to their lineup since HF has been missing one for a while. Chicago electric updated their old style but green power seems to be the way to go! Maybe Vulcan will add one into their lineup aswell. Excited for more details on this cutter!! First audition to the shop once they release it
I'm dying over here... I'm foaming at the mouth to see the new stuff. I'm ready to buy after the holidays!. Vulcan ProTig 205, and Vulcan Plasma here I come!
Yes I’m really looking forward to the ProTig 205 too! There’s something else I will tell you about when I email you 🙂
VERY impressive on 110v! I'm a hobbyist, so I feel like this would be a great item to have. Looking forward to seeing what the price is! Thanks for the video Mike. Super nice cuts btw!
I am just starting my welding journey and cut my table top with a torch . . . should have purchased a Plasma cutter . . . very impressive how clean it left the cuts . . . thanks!
Thanks for checking out my channel Daniel 👍
You should really check out my video of this plasma torch connected to my CNC table, it’s an amazing combo! Here’s a video th-cam.com/video/EMJFn1tOgh0/w-d-xo.html
Damn those are some real clean cuts, real impressive machine
I really have been happy with it!
I have cut over 400 feet of steel and aluminum with it and it’s still going strong 👍
Have you seen my articulating dump truck build series? I use this plasma torch hooked up to my CNC table and built most of the brackets and parts with this. Take care Edward
Nice review, I’m been refreshing all day looking for this. That is a nice torch with quality consumables too. I’m interested to see a Vulcan 80 amp plasma to go with my Omni Pro 220.
Thanks for checking out my video! Yes a Vulcan plasma would definitely be great to see!
Hey Mike, I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Really enjoy them. Thanks for the content in the great videos. . I told my brother. And also a couple other folks that are in this type of stuff. Keep up the good work, bro.
Right on Brian I really appreciate it 👍
Glad I kept searching. I think I will pick one of these up soon.
I have cut over 450 feet of metal with mine on my CNC plasma table and it’s been a solid machine 👍
Thanks Mike! I watched your video because I like your work and feel you are legit, I'm thinking about getting one of these
Thanks for a great video bro. It really does a clean cuts.
Very cool, enjoy seeing new tools.
Right on Mike, thanks for checking out my video!
Another video of why I subscribed!! Thank you! I’d like it see it on the CNC.
Right on thanks!
Good review. Thanks for putting it together.
I was just considering the Titanium Plasma cutter. Thanks for running the test and HF does have some cheap tools but they are also providing Good tools that are 90% as good as the Big commercial brands at 1/3 the cost. Im a big fan of HF Earthquake and Vulcan tools
Nice machine and clean cuts.
Here’s a video running my Titanium plasma 45 on my CNC plasma table th-cam.com/video/EMJFn1tOgh0/w-d-xo.html
I get a lot of people asking the air requirements and they are 4.2CFM @ 80 to 110 PSI.
And if your wondering I have cut over 400 feet of metal and aluminum with my plasma 45 and it’s still going rock solid.
Mike festiva the jerks there just raised the price by $100, so with coupon you’re still paying $50 more than it cost last week. Probably going to go with an Amico at this point.
w3vjp That’s lame 😒 I think the Titanium is a good plasma torch but they seem to be asking to much for it.
@@w3vjp568 It's odd man, the price goes up and down. It $799 and than its $899 and than it's back to $799 and this week it's at $899. argh!
Mike - I found an even better coupon code! 374177810018 brings the price down to $750, which is a little more reasonable. Good through 5/2/2020. But keep your coupon code up there, because they have extended that one until 6/30/2020 due to CV19, and who knows, maybe they'll drop the price back down again saving even more.
@@w3vjp568 awesome.
Factory looking cuts, impressive!
I like the unboxing hahaha! Great job! I am your fan!
Pilot arc!!! Rock n roll!!!
New subscriber here. Been wanting to learn some welding and cutting skills and I've found your videos very informative. I'll probably start with some of the HF branded items. Thanks for what you do.
213 to 1 like ratio is pretty sweet! Congrats!
Haha that is pretty good 🙂 Thanks for checking out my video!
About mid-day of this year I'll be going to Harbor Freight and dropping five grand on all the tools that I've wanted. I'm itching and can't wait to do it.
Man 5k will get you a lot of tools at HF! Right on man hope you bring your truck 👍
I don’t need one but now I really want one
I love mine! It's not failed me yet. Great product for the price.
They are great machines!
I have cut over 800 feet of metal with my titanium 45 👍
Impressive 120v 15amp circuit receptacle cutting 1/4 steel flat stock! That's awesome I will recommend 240v if you running into a shop great job 👍
Thanks for checking out my plasma video 👍 I only ran it on 120 volts to show how it performs on that voltage, I have 220 and always run it on that voltage in my shop. I have cut a few thousand feet of metal with this Plasma on my CNC table and it’s still working great 👍
1/4 inch is impressive on a 20 amp 120 volt circuit
Yes I was surprised how good it did on 20 amps, I ran these first cuts on 120 volts because I have a lot of people commenting that they only have 120 volts in these work shops, I figured I should show how it does in 120 volts before I get into 240. That’s for the next video. Take care 🙂
@@Mikefestiva how much are these plasma cutters
Dude I love your videos.
You’ve got a good channel Mike👍
Great video , you explain it so well , thank you
Man o man I was just saying to myself, when I was running my little Titanium Flux 125, these folks need to come out with a plasma cutter! I just got my old 71W200 up and running used it for a couple of wood cutting jobs last 2 days its a 48 year old beast!
Right on! It’s good to hear from you 🙂
Great info, Mike. Thanks!
Out of the ballpark !! you did it again great job I have the 200 titanium I love it the only thing I hate about it. ( no foot pedal ) being a new welder I did not realize how important a foot pedal is with MIG welding TIG welding or do I really wish I had one if we get one for this I'll be the happiest guy in the world I wish it had a foot pedal
For that reason alone I definitely do not recommend the titanium 200 to anyone as much as I love it I would not buy it again for that reason alone I bought a Lotus plasma cutter not too long ago online on Amazon I wish I would have waited for the titanium I didn't know they were coming out with one but the price is pretty high if they're saying 600 I got the lotus LTD 5000 I don't know if I'm happy at all with it I really don't know how to use it that good do not use it very often I think I paid around $400 ,I wish I would have waited for the titanium looks like it works really nice thanks again Mike I look forward to all your videos no matter what they are great job God bless buddy.. As for the lotos plasma cutter I purchase I can't say nothing really bad because I really don't know how to use it I finally got my air situation figured out,, I was having too much moisture that's why it wasn't working ! I got that straightened out by building a condenser and water drains it works great now no more water problems with this hot summer we had and the moisture here on the east coast in Pennsylvania by Allentown it was terrible humidity this year I turn my air compressor on within an hour I get a gallon of water easy I put in a drain system that I.. picked up on the internet and put a condenser on the back of the air compressor I have no more water problems whatsoever it works great that way everybody should try that any questions get ahold of me thanks again Mike I wish you were my neighbor neighbor if you would live so far away I'd visit you and become your friend adios partner..
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
God Bless America and Mike
Thanks for getting to the point!
I would love to see it on a CNC plasma table. The cuts where really nice looking. I would love to see it cut square tube and round tube
Hey William here’s a video running this plasma torch on my CNC table. th-cam.com/video/Mf_gBIeUYcg/w-d-xo.html I have about four other videos of running my plasma on my CNC, have you seen my articulating dump truck build yet? Take care
I'm sold on the clean cuts....
Did you see my videos running this Plasma torch on my CNC table? It’s really nice, I have cut a lot of Aluminum and steel with this torch on that table. Take care
Mike festiva can it cut sch 40 pipe ?
Definitely need to try that out!
Looks like a nice unit👍
Heck yeah need this in my shop
I just bought a cheap one on ebay. I wish I had waited for this one. I might still get one. Please keep us up dated on any problems with this little guy.
I bought a cut 50 plasma torch a few years back off of eBay as well, it still works fine! Tips are really affordable for them 🙂
Did you see my video using it on my plasma table I made? It cuts great!
I definitely plan on running this plasma torch hard to see how it holds up, the CNC Table will be a great way to test the duty cycle on this machine.
That's pretty impressive on 120!
Thanks for the info, I've been on the fence with a plasma cutter. Might be stopping by harbor fright this week!
Thanks for checking out my video! This won’t be stocked in stores till after the new year.
I plan to run it a lot and hook it up to a CNC table, run it hard and see how it does!
Take care 🙂
@@Mikefestiva that explains why it's not even on the website yet.
These video's are why I don't watch television.
I would love to see Harbor freight titanium or Vulcan produce a multi process… plasma with Built-in compressor… Mig Tig Stick. Package powered by a predator inverter Generator For portability… with a hybrid hard wire configuration. So you could run a full 220 in the shop if needed.
That would definitely put them on the market for domination.
I will be buying the Vulcan plasma cutter the day they release it at my local store. I have the Omnipro 220 and I'm completely sold on it. At least now I know I need to start saving haha
Is there a Vulcan plasma cutter coming? Or you just calling the titanium a Vulcan?
@@atleastmypalmsarewhite9960 it hasn't been officially confirmed, but I'd say there's a pretty good chance that we'll see a Vulcan one soon.
I really need this plasma cutter in my life....
Great video as usual
Thanks Wayne 🙂
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL BROTHERMAN! Harbor Freight Sent me one as well. The Electrical at my house Need's an Upgrade. Can't wait to see what you think about it. Cheers!
Right on thank you Justin, I really appreciated it! I saw your video talking about the new welders coming out soon! Looking forward to seeing them 🙂 That’s great to hear you got one too! I think you will be happy with it, seems like a good build quality.
I definitely like you channel too! Keep the videos coming buddy 🙂
Glad to see you here Justin! I dig your channel too! This is why I don't watch television.
Very good I'm going to check them out at my local H F hope I don't get addicted to them an start collecting
Sweet. I’ve been thinking of getting one.
I love my Titanium products
One thing I would get is a learher cover for the torch lead. It is worth the money.
I picked up one of these today. Thanks for the review. BTW I thought I recognized you and then I saw your video with Liam and that confirmed it.
Cnc video please enjoy all your hard work. Thank you and God bless have a great day📖⛪
Thanks 🙂
Nice review!
I can not wait to see it set up with the CNC and see how it does. Please show details on how that gets put together.
Sounds good! I just ordered my own CNC plasma table so there will be a video coming out soon on that with the Titanium 45 running on it! $1500 for a CNC plasma table is not bad 🙂
@@Mikefestiva $1500 plasma table where? what brand?
Great review.😀
The Titanium products seem to be decent Chinesium products. They come well packed and are constructed well. What a surprise.
Great unpacking and demonstration. ended up buying one. Can you tell me what that brass tube is for. I’m assuming it’s for the air filter I want to make sure.
Pretty cool 😎
Impressive!
Great videos brotha
Right on thanks 👍
Glad I found you we just got a harbor freight and I've never been in one. I really didn't know what to think I've always been top of the line or went without but I really to cut galv post 14ga. What do you think. Im glad they gave one they're going to sell alot. For the knuckleheads who complain I would just give an update. Thanks
Mike good job,as always! u have talent making these reviews,they are very honest,and very helpful,and im sure they help sell a shitload of Vulcan,and Titanium machines,lol! I would like to see u involved with design,and layout,HF,u listening?
Right on Thanks Jeff! I got to talk to the head honcho at HF for there welder development, it was nice to talk with him, I made some suggestions, 🙂 if that opportunity ever came up I would definitely like to be involved with R&D work.
Those Euro connectors for the torch are nice.
Nice video. I’ve usually found HF stuff to be reasonable quality at a very low price and a good value. Though these are nicer than the cheapest Amazon plasma cutters, I’m leaning more toward Primeweld.
great plasma .
Nice little unit I'm picking one up
Does it weigh as much as 10 boxes?
Great 20amp first cuts for sure and thanks for skipping the unpacking 😁 part of the video. Thanks for sharing.
🙂
Thanks Mike for your videos. I am obviously just starting out so….what do you use as a straight edge to guide your torch? Your cuts are nice and straight and square from what I see! Thanks and I plan on viewing more of your videos!
Over time, using a metal guide to keep your cut straight will erode the insulator in the torch, the plasma is attracted to the adjacent metal
in your guide. I use plastic or compressed paper as a guide. It does burn as you cut, but it sure will save your torch. Adequate ventilation
is a must!
Hey Jim the metal was never touching the cup on my plasma torch, it was touching the metal stand off that was provided with the original torch, I have used many plasmas over the years and replacing electrodes is just a part of cutting with them, blow back is usually what gets the cups.
I actually never free hand cut anymore with this, it’s on my CNC table. I have cut over 900 feet of metal and this torch is still going strong. Here’s my CNC setup.

Thanks for the vid!
