I just purchased a Power Plasma 60 and I must say I'm very impressed so far. It seems to be pretty well built and it cuts like a hot knife through butter.

I have the same issue as others with the constant flow switch but that's not a major problem. I was giving it a workout over the weekend and decided to try the 4T operation. When I first tried the torch would light up right away but as soon as I moved the torch to the edge of the piece to be cut the arc would be snuffed. If I quickly moved the arc onto the piece or if I bring the torch down in the middle of the plate the arc stays lit until I reached the end of the cut and again the arc goes out. Is what I'm experiencing normal? Can someone explain why the arc is lost when I get close to the edge when I'm moving the torch sup to the plate to start the cut? Thanks.
