Hi guys,
I recently bought a Parkside plasma cutter, the type that needs a separate conpressed air supply. (£110 or thereabouts). I tried it out yesterday and am seriously underwhelmed. I struggled to cut through bed iron, about 2-3mm angle iron. The cut took far too long and was really messy. I had to go over the cut several times because the plasma jet hadn't burned through, only gouged the steel.
So, any advice? Is it me or have others found this to be rubish? I am completely new to plasma cutting so any advice would be very much appreciate
