Pros
- Severs 1 in steel and cuts 9/16 in cleanly on a 240 V outlet
- Blowback start with pilot arc handles rusty and mesh metal without high-frequency interference
- Also gouges and marks, so one machine removes bad welds and lays out cuts
- Light at 14 lb for a 65 A cutter
Cons
- Needs a compressor that delivers 6 cfm, more than many small shop units supply
- Two-year warranty is shorter than several rivals
- No duty cycle temperature given, so its 60% rating is hard to compare
