That plasma cutter can easily cut through 3/8" if you have it on 240 volts running it with 40 and 50 PSI (and you won't destroy your consummables when doing it.
Gyppor you should always start with a small pilot drill bit, say 3/32”, and enlarge the hole with incrementally larger bits, working up to 1/2”. And it goes without saying use sharp HSS bits and lube.

I'm going to be one of those people who comments before watching the entire video, and point out what probably half the people have already said. These things work really well when you start at the edge, then slowly drag it through the gap you're creating. They can't really bore a hole.

@@hypersphereengineering6015 What most non-farm houses have here is two-phase 120 volts, with each leg 180 degrees out of phase with each other. So, if you go across both legs, you get 240 volts. Typically, that’s used for electric clothes dryers (I.e, not natural gas or propane heated), cooktops and ovens, electric water heaters, and whole-house air conditioning. However, on many houses the main circuit breaker box is nearby to the garage if not actually inside it; so adding a 240v twist-lock (L14-30) or ‘welder’ outlet (L6-50) isn’t too hard to do, typically. Farm houses, being on a farm which may have higher powered equipment on it, could have access to three-phase power.
stef jones a lot of you have suggested this and it really makes a big difference. I figured it would but was trying to see just what it could do. Thanks for the tip.

@@behindthebarnreallife1064 Webpage says mine is scratch start, but it has a pilot arc. Must be something they dropped from their newer models.

Its been close to a year is it still working? my cutting torch set was stolen it be 1000$ to replace, I just need to cut 1/2 " bolts and sheet metal 18 to 28 gage car truck work.
i have a 50 amp prime weld works good on 1/4 inch and down .... great on 1/8 inch .... having said that i would still invest in a better one if you are doing fabrication .... works great for gauging out welds tho cutting holes quick little things not for heavy duty use
I know this is old but for any future viewers... When you need a big hole in something thick like this, drill a 3/16 hole at the top of the cut. These cheap plasma cutters do great when they have an edge to start from. EDIT... Looks like I'm the 400th person to suggest this. lol
John Steele which drill did you go with. I love all my Milwaukee tools but with a mag press I’ve been looking at evolution. The red stuff is way out of my price range.
Wait so this eBay special is just from compressed air? 🤔 so you don't need argon? I do a lot of body work for cutting with a torch and it puts out way too much heat and distorts the metal. Got anymore info on this? I might actually wanna buy one
Oh no way. I didn't even know. I wanna find sometime and try it out. It so beats a cutting torch especially for the body I do. Puts too much heat and buckles the steel.
@@davidbowser2395 - In a nut shell. Cheap Cut 50 (pilot version), small air compressor (25L tank). Work perfectly. On thin plate the quick, localized heat don't produce any appreciable distortion. Or at least a lot less than I expected. Get one they're relatively cheap, just make sure it's properly assembled. BTW mine add a faulty air pressure regulator (small leakage). 14€ solved the problem!

This is like my $100.

JMTAUL still use it around once a week. Replaced the consumables twice. Watch it again. I’m not pounding on the blade this doesn’t have a continuous arc so what you’re seeing is the results of a bad ground sparking on and off. The other side went much smoother.
Behind the barn real life Yea, I got you. I wasn’t implying you were wrong. That is pretty thick metal. I’d be getting the same thing. The air/ arc is going to blow back.
Eric Anderson do you have any suggestions? I did say I didn’t know how to use it. Also I wasn’t pounding on the three point attachment . It doesn’t have a continuous arc so it’s like a stick welder. In this case it didn’t have a great ground. Also is everyone so soft that the can’t function without gloves?
Behind the barn real life Why wouldn’t it not work with gloves? You should get into a position where you are very comfortable and able to keep a steady hand. Use a straight edge or something as a guide to slide the torch along to make a straight cut and keep the torch steady. There are many videos explaining how to cut and how to repair these cutters. The main thing is practice. 👍
Eric Anderson gloves make for soft hands. Not sure how I can straight edge a circle. And the point of this video was to see how well a $171 plasma works. We have since purchased a hypertherm powermax30. The pilot arc makes life easier but so did drilling a pilot hole and a good ground. What kind of plasma do you have?
Behind the barn real life I have a cheap eBay one too. But I have used all kinds. You should always use PPE. Not protecting yourself isn’t the smart thing to do. I mentioned the straight edge in case you were having trouble staying straight. They do make circle cut adapters as well. I think the cheap plasmas cut just as good as the expensive ones. They just may not last as long or cut the thicker material as well but for most home use, they are good.
ford nut the whole point of this was to see if it would do it on 110. It’s not rated for it or recommended but it did it. When I drilled a pilot hole in the other side it went pretty fast. What machine do you run?
It cuts 3/8 just fine on 240v the whole reason for the video is to see what it would do on 110v. And it did it the other side went way better on 110v after I predrilled a small starter hole.
They are like 3-4000$ here, but they are insane. I need the thickest gloves i can find. But i cant justify having a beast like that for home use😅 does this thing cut better with 220 you say? In that case it may work, but i really want a pilot arc..
david gustafsson yes it works much better on 220. As for the pilot arc, we ran a jumper wire from the top down the cable to the ground. Now it’s a pilot arc.
james west the machine works great. Finding the correct size Chinesium consumables is a bit of a pain. I’ve read that you can change the gun out with one that has a more common end. I may try that in the future.
Edward Kipp the harbor freight tips are a different style. I’ve thought about spending the $70 and buying the harbor freight gun though. I think they’re a little better feel.
Monkey Wrangler haha. I’m not saying that’s never been done but I can barely walk around without safety glasses anymore even when I’m not working. I hardly ever wear gloves though.
C Kobesko have to get a hole started first. My problem was trying to gouge it out instead of drilling a starter hole. But then yes I could drag it after that.

Recommend drilling a small 1/4” hole first, then it will cut a beautiful hole.
Dennis Bartek you are 100% correct. The second time using this torch was so much easier.

C Kobesko have to get a hole started first. My problem was trying to gouge it out instead of drilling a starter hole. But then yes I could drag it after that.
young man ,
NOBODY CAN HERE U , AUDIO IS BAD
kasey casece I just use my phone. Unfortunately there’s no good equipment in my future.
Kasey, get your headphones/speaker/volume/ears checked, I could hear him loud and clear
ma che stai combinando!
Semplicemente tagliando un foro per l’attacco a tre punti.
you plug it it with 110volts that is ugly
Scorpion Heart 110 is rated at 1/8”. I would say it did pretty good considering it’s cutting 3/8”. Which plasma do you run? Thanks for watching.
I have one of these for two years , works great but eats consumables often .
I have the same cutter and it is meant to do 3/8.. your technique sucks.
Mark Gosselin I have to agree on the technique. I would like to say that it has improved but it’s just different. Thanks for watching.
Miller 625 it’s the best
And a Miller 625 is $2000, hardly a fair comparison... i can drive a vw bug, and you can drive a porsche, they will both get us there, but i will still have money in my pocket
You must be real cheap no gloves
Dennis Isaac I’ve never been comfortable with gloves. I’ll put them on when needed but I wasn’t touching anything hot. Thanks for watching.
You made a mess
You don't have a clue on how to use it
Terrible.
Steven Green terribly awesome for how cheap it is. What do you use? Which one do you like using the most? Thanks for watching.
Get what you pay for
It works great now that I’ve got a little bit of it figured out.
