Arccaptain CUT55 Pro Dual Voltage Plasma Cutter

First off thanks for the machine ! The only few things I don't care for is the barb for the regulator should have been a proper barb for air hose and real pipe thread so you can direct couple your own quick coupler! the other observation is the machine is basically usless on 110 keeps blowing the breaker if your cutting anything more than light tin can stuff forget! it ! On 220 this thing ripps! Very happy with the cut and recommend it for the price! I have to unplug my welder to use it so I may be adding another 40 amp welder plug so i can leave it plugged in when building a project!

I know it’s probably my problem. I hooked the air up and plugged it in electricity and it wants to work some then it cuts off and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I checked the air and I had it 7.2 but electricity wants to throw a breaker. and I don’t know if cause I thought it was supposed to be a 110 that’s all I’d say.

This is a nice machine. Very small and compact. cover is very nice, and accessories are plentiful. It works on both 120v and 220v. I recommend 220v. At 120v it will pull over 20amps to 30amps. Which will cause your 20amp circuit breakers to trip, annoying. But, turn it down, and it will not trip 120v breakers. At 120v it had difficulty cutting thru 1/4 in. rusty steel. It cut 1/4 after repeat attempts. on 220v no problem. Air pressure can be tricky. My air compressor is large and goes to 120psi. Which is way too high. I used compressor regulator to 70psi and 65-70 on plasma cutter. This seemed too high. The arc would start and then stop on 30 degree entrance cuts. Worked better on 90 degree cuts. I turned the air pressure down to 55 psi at the plasma cutter, worked better. Even at 220v the gun cut off repeatedly. Which I feel is a setup problem. Likely, need much lower air pressure. Air seemed to be blowing out the arc. Cuts were jagged, not clean on 1/4in @ 120v, better on 220v. Still, this is not a Hypertherm industrial machine for big $$$$. For the money, it appears, so far, to be OK. I'd go 5 stars if I had a better set up and it did not stop so many times. I recommend it for small shops, and DIY welders.
