Never heard of 'em, and I call bs on their warranty claims---my ESAB had a 3yr parts AND labor warranty, no need to ship--just take it to my local ESAB dealer (PRAXAIR)...sounds like a chinese unit, IMHO...

I have the plasma tec 50 dv. I like it but it uses tips like crazy and it cost alot to replace them. 75 bucks for 5 tips and 5 electrodes.
Edit: I see they have dropped the prices a little from the last time i stocked up.

I have an older ESAB PCM500 Its a 50 amp 220V machine and I can get consumables in lacey or tacoma.
It woks fine for me.

My roomates work had the same ESAB as mine and it had a board failure that was not affordable to fix so I grabbed it for spare parts (I know I even have a plazma "parts rig" :redneck
. Well it had a thermal dynamics torch on it that promptly went on mine.
So NO, I dont take in the ass on consumables.
Plus I bought it off CL years ago for $400 from some logging outfit in shelton that was going under. This was back when even shitty plazmas were over a grand.
I havent found a better plazma for 400 yet.:beer:
they have come down alot now.:awesomework:
What TD torch are you using, we had an older esab pcm500 at the shop with a td gun they put on, it worked pretty weak for a short while, but eventually the thing wouldn't cut 1/8" steel. One day after it sat under the bench for a few years I concluded that I should change out the torch, voila, great cutter again. Upon calling esab they said they can't put a real reason to it but td guns (or maybe just the one we had) just don't work on their machines.

Are you running a good filter right before your machine? A little water will cause you to go through consumables faster than you should be.
Its a small one. Does that matter?
