a new plasme is the only way to go because the
electronics in them changes like computers
do and the style of torches has also changed
recently. torches can get screwed up on the older
ones (last years) and they could cost a thousand
dollars to replace if you can even find one.
the new generation units are quite a bit better.
when looking for one always compare the thickness
of aluminum they can cut and always remember that
they are exaggerating the limits by two.
also look at the cost of the tips and cups,and the
dryness of the air that you will be using,{wet air
is the biggest eater of tips..............
