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.

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 .
