Almost ready to go out of the box, I just had to hook up water trap, plug and connect the torch to the front panel. The plug supplied is an RV plug, different than what I use in my shop so I purchased a standard welder receptacle at the hardware store. The front panel easily connects the air and trigger connections for the torch and a quick “push n twist” for the ground cable. Even weighing in at 45lbs this is still going to be quite portable where the cables can be removed so easily to avoid damage. The torch is very agronomic and compatible with a few other brands such as Speedway and HTP so consumables should be more accessible.

There is a switch for “Self Test” for air adjustment without having to engage the torch.
For comparison my previous plasma cutter was an older Cebora Pocket 30, 30 amp, no adjustable voltage and capable of cutting 3/16 up to 3/8 severance.
I did 3 cuts starting from Left to right, 3/16 was no problem, with a straight edge I was able to wiz through 2 inch's of it in about 2 seconds. The second cut was on 5/16 which I had to slow down to make a clean cut, took about 5 seconds. On 1 1/4 I had difficulty in the middle but this machine is only rated to cut a maximum of 1" but I had to try.

Overall I am happy with its performance and it does out perform my previous unit, of course my question is will it stand the test of time? So far I have used this for maybe an hour of total cutting time and no signs of wear are showing on the tips.
