[TheForge] Re: Plasma cutter comparison

[Harland Johnson]

I looked pretty carefully at ESAB plasma torches a few years ago. Esab 
seemed to be the industry leader.  The machinist that cut my "rope wrench" 
tools used a CNC / with an ESAB plasma cutter.  I would love to own one, but 
could not justify the $.

I'm in the process of comparing the following plasma cutters for eminent
purchase: 

Lincoln Pro-Cut 25 

Hobart Air Force 400 

Hypertherm Power Max 380 

My price range is $1200. - 1300. (US) and 3/8" max. cutting ability is
plenty. 

Anybody have any experience/information or other suggestions to share?
Or perhaps knowledge of consumer report info on same?
