i want one for minor fab work so i dont wanna spend more then 1200 for one since im not gonna be doin anything serious
I've been running the spectrum 375 for a couple years now...love it. It does everything you'll need a plasma to do unless you plan on getting into heavy fab or production work..
My buddy has a hypertherm 380 at the shop. He wired it for 220V and its taken everything we've thrown at it so far when it comes to building trucks.

Then you gotta get the circle cutting guides:

oh and a cover:
thats what i want! lol
Yeah I want the cover to. But I have that stand off wheel somewhere, and it is just a pain in the ass. Freehand is the only way to go, and maybe a straight edge once in a while .
