You may well be right
Then there's the counter thread......stuff you bought at auction that you've never been able to get working
I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

Are the plasma torches universal like mig welders?

No. many modern ones use a Euro connector like a MIG welder but some new ones and most older ones have separate air and electric connections. I've just paid £200 for a new Traffimet torch for my old 3phase Sureweld and it had to be a specific type.
@Welding Supplies Direct should know more...

It's not a torch I recognise Dave, there are hundreds of diffierent types, but looks knackerd to me!
Get some new bits for it and you will be amazed

The electrode and nozzle look past it to me for clean or thick cuts, I have had worse, but only when using up old ones for gouging. The ceramic shrould looks ok though.

Get on to R Tech for some consumables they are reasonably priced and their technical back up is second to none.

Well unfortunately there's no one in nearby villages that knows anything so no point asking them.
Also my eldest can nearly read on her own so she'll help me with the long words

There are quite a lot in my 'might come in handy storage area' otherwise known as the long grass and nettles.
I could do with a thread titles 'Now where did I put that thing I bough cheap for a job and put somewhere safe?' Mainly some proximity sensors that have just bloody disappeared into thin air
They are great on stainless.
Keep thinking I should mount a plasma on my straight line burner.
I would love one of these in my workshop for christmass pleeeeeeeese Santa
maybe should have posted it in the oooooooooh thread ?
She missed the wiper seal

My best result was a Sip 500/50amp 12/24v battery charger/booster.
Mate saw it the skip at the local NH dealers yard, asks the foreman if he can have it "for spares" No problem. Drags it out, gives it to me as he's already got one.
I open it up, reattach the spade connector to one of the chargingl switches and bingo!!!! Didnt even need a plug or a fuse. That's about as lucky as I ever will get with used stuff.
