PrimeWeld 50A Air Inverter Plasma Cutter, Portable Plasma Cutting Machine, Premium and Rugged Plasma Cutter Kit, Automatic Dual Voltage 110V/220V AC with Plasma Torch, 1/2" Clean Cut, CUT50D

Having read reviews stating that Primeweld provides good service, I decided to spend a little more for some piece of mind, and to support a seller that takes care of customers after sale. Having never run a plasma cutter, I had some questions and sent emails to Primeweld, whcich were answered within an hour. He answered my questions, and sent me tool in the mail (his cost for tool and shipping) that he hoped make my experience better while welding with 110 voltage. It does now run pretty well with 110, but physics is a stubborn thing, and only so much current can go through a 20amp 110-120 circuit. So if you need to cut steel thicker than 1/8” regularly you’ll have better cuts with 220. And that’s with any machine. It just takes a lot of current to blow through thick steel. I got this because I was given a 60” square of 1/8” steel, and it’s reallt nastbto cut with a torch. The Primeweld 50 cut it cleanly, even on 120v, though it was a little slow. Think realistically how often you’ll need to cut steel thicker than that. If you do, plan on wiring in a 220v 30amp outlet. Otherwise, you’ll be ok with 120v. Photo is of 1/2” cold roll it cut through in about 5 seconds. That would have taken a long time with my torch, and burned a lot of acetylen. I suspect that many of these machine have similar guts, and what differentiates them is the quality of the accessories and the support. I was impressed with the accessories. There’s plenty of hose and fasteners, so you don’t need to scrounge around getting it set up. And if you have a question, I’m sure the folks at Primeweld will do whatever they can to get you straight.DougAylett, VA

I received this Plasma Cutter today after ordering it just 3 days ago. I'll have to admit, I wasn't expecting much for $299 but I had a bunch of 4 inch standard pipe that I wanted to cut up and get rid of. The pipe is only quarter inch wall so I hoped it would at least cut that up. Now, I've been a metal fabricator for 37 years and used hand held plasma cutters since they became mainstream in the 80's. This little machine blew me away, it cuts just as good as the 2700 dollar Hypertherm machine that we have at the shop I work at. I have added 2 pics of a piece of HALF INCH plate that I cut with this machine. Keep in mind that I have done this for a very long time and have had lots of practice using one. Slow down, get a good comfortable position and let the machine cut. If you're getting sparks blowing up around the tip, you are going too fast. I cut this plate at 50 amps with 80 psi air pressure. I have a small campbel-hausfield compressor with a 13 gallon tank and it did just fine. I put it on a 50 amp breaker that I had for my welding machine and had no problems. I also bought replacement consumables with it and replaced the ones that came installed on the machine as they seemed to be a bit more heavy duty. I can't attest to the longevity of this machine, but it has a three year warranty and other reviewers say they have had good experiences with customer service. If I had to assign a single word to this machine it would have to be "Awesome"

I really read a lot of the reviews on the prime weld plasma cutter. I was skeptical because I’m usually someone to buy high end tools because I like to only buy a tool once. However due to the numerous five star reviews I gave it a try. It arrived in 3 days which was half the time quoted!!! What I can say is that prime world has seriously upped their game and addressed most of the different customer issues in the reviews. They redesigned the back end so it’s pre-plumbed and you don’t need to attach any hoses. (Note...the air quick disconnect that came with it leaked so I replaced it). Also it now comes with the same exact plug that comes on Hobart Welders. (6-50P).In about 10 minutes, I was up and running cutting 1/4” plate. If you are new to plasma cutting, I highly recommend using a straight edge guide. It gives a much better cut.If you are wavering on this purchase like I did. Buy it. I was thinking about spending $800 for what would have probably been the exact same thing.Note...their manual is still terrible. PrimeWeld....I am an engineer. I will write a manual for you if you want. :)

NOT MADE IN THE USA (made in China of course) I recommend anyway.Watch out for slag droppings.Cutting sheet metal to 1/8” steel works well using standard 110.Cutting up to 3/8” steel worked with 110 house current did ok but very slow going. Moving over to 220 was a lot better and faster cuts. 3/4 to 1” low carbon steel bbl using 220 did ok, just very messy and slow going. Just for the heck of it I tried it on 110 and was not surprised to see I was only able to make shallow scars. Best results using 220.

Purchased the unit through Amazon sold by PrimeWeld in 2020 after reading lots of positive reviews. Price point was a deciding factor. It worked like a champ cutting everything up to 1/2” without missing a beat even used rusted material. In Feb 2023 it just stopped working so contacted PrimeWeld through email and Gene told me he would send a shipping label. Gene made sure I got a label to send the unit back under warranty. I believe it only took 2 weeks and had the unit back fixed with new gun, leads and extra consumables! Amazing they took care of shipping, repair and new items. They certainly earned my business and will be looking at other products. THANK YOU Primeweld! Highly recommended from my experience.Andy Benton

CUT50D. Wanted the pilot arc DP model. Totally my fault. Even after unboxing and testing unit, Primeweld still honored my return. Sent this cutter back. Return process was hassle free and I received my refund the day the cutter was delivered back to Primeweld. Will definitely buy from them again.
