PrimeWeld 50A Air Inverter Plasma Cutter with Non-Touch Pilot Arc, Automatic Dual-Voltage (110V/220V) and Dual-Frequency (50Hz/60Hz) Portable Plasma Cutter, 1/2" Clean Cut, CUT50DP: desertcart.com: Tools & Home Improvement Review: 30 AMP INPUT at 220 volts ! NOT 50 amps. - Gave this 5 stars due to being pilot arc, tax free, and free shipping. Price is fair for the features. Now onto the details. This specific unit is a 30 AMP INPUT @ 220 volts.( NOT 50 AMP INPUT !! ) I took pictures for those who may need to know this as it does not say in the ad and customer service never answered my question specifically !. ALSO in the manual it says it's rated at 20 amps 220 volts-( this is different than what the machine label says, look at pics- the plug WILL NOT FIT a 20 amp 220 volt twist lock outlet ) It comes with an L6-30P three prong plug attached, great. I took it apart and the wires appear to be 10 gauge which is indeed rated for 30 amps. I used a piece of 12 gauge THHN wire placed next to the plug to show clearly the thickness difference of the wires. So it is indeed apparently able to handle 30 amps, I had to TIGHTEN the ground screw and two hot lead screws after taking the plug apart DO THIS right away save yourself issues. I have included pics of THIS units label showing the power requirements CHECK YOUR PARTICULAR UNIT when you get it as it may differ from this one. Have not used it yet but will post an update when I do. The yellow with green stripe is GROUND, the blue wire seems to be the hot lead ( if hooking it up to 115 volts ) as it connects to the wider of the two hot lead prongs on this L6-30P twist lock three prong plug, the brown is the other hot lead connected to the thinner of the two hot lead prongs. ( this MAY be your neutral when connected to 115 volts, ) IF NOT SURE hire a licensed electrician to look at it for you ! UPDATE: Added pics of the wiring for the new 30 amp twist lock outlet coming from the main panel. 10 gauge THHN/THWN copper wire, two hot legs blk/red and one green ground wire. As you can see I pigtailed the green wire to the metal junction box using the correct green ground screw PER National Electrical Code for safety, as well as used grey bushings at the junction box and the main panel entrance of the EMT conduit ends, again PER NEC code for safety to prevent chaffing of the wires. Had some 10 gauge extension cord so cut off the 20 amp 115v plus and wired in 250v 30 amp twist lock plugs, worked great. Your local hardware store won't have the proper size outlet cover so you will have to order one either here or from Garvin Industries, they have the correct hole size cover for a 30 amp outlet on a 4x4 junction box. Now onto the machine, set it up, took off the cover of the cutter to check the hose connections, one end of the air hose inside the machine was loose, tightened it ! also used Teflon tape on all the fittings and tightened them. Held air pressure though the gauge on the machine says almost 90 lbs max, BUT your working pressure will be 70 pounds ! cut some 1/8 th thick steel, and it did cut it though but it was sloppy the cut made lots of balled up steel on the cut, perhaps user error, still need to practice using it. BUT it cut it easily at half the rated output. At full output I did not notice a drastic difference in cut quality, going faster does help slightly for a cleaner cut. I am using the provided guard which prevents unnecessary wear on the tips until I get replacement ones. But it works as advertised. The pilot arc makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world to make it easier to start. Now of course I was using a welding helmet which is TOO DARK, get some #5 shade welder's glasses and it should be much easier to see the work and get better results ! So with a little time and patience setting up the cutter is not difficult, just make sure all your electrical connections and air hose connections are tight and it should do well for you ! PRIMEWELD 50A CUT50DP NonTouch Pilot Arc Air Inverter Plasma Cutter Dual Voltage 110/220VAC 1/2" Clean Cut ... Review: Works great! Best customer service! - After searching dozens of plasma cutters I decided on this one mainly because of the customer service. There are too many sellers out there that only want to sell you a product then leave you high and dry when it comes to product support. Not this one! I called the seller on a Saturday to inquire about purchasing some consumables . They were closed and I did not leave a message but on Monday I was called back. My question concerning consumables was answered to my satisfaction and more. Who does this? It is someone who cares about the customer and not just selling their product. As to the plasma cutter, it is very easy to operate and will cut through 1/2” mild steel easily. It comes fully assembled. There is no need to assemble anything as is needed on many other plasma cutters. The cutter nozzle comes with a very long cord as does the ground making it very convenient to operate without having the cutter so close to you. I use mine on 220 voltage and it works as it should but the customer service is what makes it stand out above others not to mention the three year warranty, unbelievable!

Outstanding product.....works great!
I shopped for several months prior to purchasing this machine and finally landed here due to the positive reviews, customer service, and 3-year warranty. This machine has been great so far. Quick and easy set up and straightforward to use. I did change over the plug to work with my welder outlet and bought an adapter for 120V. So far I have used it on one significant job cutting big sheets of 13 gauge steel and it did a nice job. No touch is really nice as my tip, electrode and cup still look like new. I tried cutting with both 120V and then switched over to my 240V outlet and both worked fine when cutting at 35-40A. I have yet to cut at 50A on a thicker piece of steel but expect that it will do fine up to 1/4" based on my positive experience thus far. However, I suspect you would have to cut really slow for anything above 1/4". Overall I would highly recommend this machine to anyone looking for a well built moderate priced "no touch" plasma cutter.

Great tool for the price
I just got done using this plasma cutter for the first time tonight. It seems to work as advertised. I purchased knowing that my air compressor was more than likely under powered to utilize the full potential of this machine. It was able to make short (2 to 3 inch) cuts through 3/8 steel with my under powered compressor with no issues. The pilot arch feature at this price point is a great. I was surprised how compact this item is. Mine came with the air regulator fully installed. I have experience using a Hypertherm plasma cutter at work that cost 3 times the price of the Primeweld. I would not rate this Primeweld plasma cutter as an industrial or even light industrial tool. If your purchasing for those uses I think you will be disappointed. I would rate this as a great home/hobby tool. Anyone considering purchasing for a home/hobby tool keep in mind the air flow requirements to maximize the potential of this tool will probably exceed the average home/garage air compressors abilities. If the tool continues to perform as it did tonight I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a home/hobby plasma cutter. Now it's time to upgrade my garage air compressor.
