[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 715936, member: 4983"] One thing I'd add to this is my bad experience with Thermal Dynamics, I bought a Cutmaster 38 from them years ago and hardly even used it. One day I plugged it up, connected air, turned it on and got nothing. The unit would come on but would not arc, I replaced all consumables, even tried a buddie's torch off his working unit but still no arc. I called Thermal Dynamics, they told me the main board was bad but it was out of warranty (like 3yrs 4 months on a 3 yr warranty). I was unhappy that they didnt stand behind their product any better than that but it was out of warranty. The main board was $1,000 but the machine only cost $1,300 new 3 years earlier so I put it under the work ench and went without a plasma. Afte some Google searching it turns out main board failurse were common on those particular torches. I bought a Hypertherm a couple years later and have used the crap out of it ever since. Havnt had the forst bit of trouble out of it. On a side note, does anyone want to buy a Cutmaster 38 with a bad main board? [/QUOTE]
