Miller 907339 Spectrum 375 X-Treme

Thinking about getting this plasma cutter, it has good reviews online but anyone here use this one before?

I need to have MVP as I currently am limited to 110V until I can afford to run a sub panel, and I don't want to have to buy a new machine when I get 220V.

Im in the market for a plasma cutter too right now. I been reading on that and the Hypertherm powermax 30. Was also reading on the Hobart airforce that has the 120/230v plugs, but lotta people say you go through a lot more consumables. Check out welding web forum. Lotta good info. I think I might just go with the powermax 45 so I dont have to upgrade later.

I am really looking for mainly -1/4" cutting with occasional up to 1/2" so it looks like the miller will do that. Anything thicker than that I will send out to get water jetted.

The main thing is to eliminate the grinder from most my sheet and tube cut outs, I would probably save 6 hours on a bumper with this.

I dont know if this is big enough for you but a good price http://www.dezertrangers.com/vb/shop-tools-supplies/121864.htm was lil too small for what I need.

Yea a little too small for me, I want to be able to cut up to 1/2 clean.

Here is another review to look at http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=901205&highlight=plasma

Lol im still trying to decide myself. And then there are chinese units on ebay same amps half the price, just cant seem to risk 500 on junk if you get it home and breaks in a few months

Oh and the powermax 30 does have the 120/220v plugs

Lol I would NEVER buy a chinese plasma cutter.

Maybe a chinese stick welder, after all it's just a huge transfomer. But a plasma cutter, not a chance. Way too many complexities that could go wrong.

Lol I was between the Miller and the hypertherm mostly, Found a deal on a ESAB 650 for 750 bucks. Went out to Long Beach last night to pick it up, turns out that it was West Coast Choppers was selling the unit. I think ESAB sponcers them, they prolly got it real cheap or free. It was brand new. Got it home and tested it out on some 1/4" scrap, cuts very quick and clean! Now time to get rid of my harbhor freight compressor.
