3.0/5
A low-cost 65 A pilot arc cutter for occasional home and farm cuts in steel up to 5/8 in. Buyers who cut plate for long stretches should look at a machine with a higher duty cycle.

Pros
- Cuts 5/8 in steel cleanly on a 240 V outlet and still runs from a household outlet
- Non-high-frequency pilot start cuts rusty, painted and mesh metal without upsetting nearby electronics
- 2T/4T trigger modes save your hand on long cuts
- Among the cheapest ways to get a 65 A pilot arc cutter
Cons
- Rated plate duty cycle is only 20% at full output, so thick cuts need long cool-downs
- Wants 95 psi air, more than many small compressors hold while cutting
- One-year warranty
- VEVOR’s own figures disagree on duty cycle, so real stamina is unclear

VEVOR CUT-50
#19 in Over 45 AFull review
A cheap 50 A pilot arc cutter for hobbyists cutting sheet and steel up to 1/2 in now and then. Its short duty cycle and high-frequency start make it a poor fit for heavy or CNC work.

Miller Spectrum 875
#20 in Over 45 AFull review
A 60 A shop cutter for farms and fabricators who cut thick plate often and want Miller build and service. Home users who cut mostly sheet and 1/4 in steel do not need this much machine.
