3.7/5
For a home shop that wants one dual voltage 60 A cutter for hand work now and a CNC table later. Good value if three years of cover is enough.

For mobile repair and field cutting where no air compressor is on hand. Shop users who already own a compressor get more for the money from a cutter without one.
