So I plumbed a nice loop around the garage about 8 months ago, cut and threaded all of the black pipe and put the whole system together. I noticed over the last month some of the longer runs in the loop have developed pin (well larger then pin) probably 1/8" hole's in the pipe. I have a cheap...

I have a chance to purchase a Hobart Airforce 250 Plasma with the built in compressor for $500 used (prices seem to be high in Canada) and I am just wondering if these are actually any good or if I should save the pennies and purchase a thermal dynamics Cutmaster 42 or 52 from the local welding...
