I have a question: how loud are the machines and the cutting process. Right now all I have is an angle grinder for all my cutting and it gets annoying after 10 minutes of cutting 1/4" steel.

I would probably be in for a group buy if someone actually gets one going. Just posting to follow the thread.

Going to look into this more tomorrow. I know a freight broker, and know how to get things from China. Will start another thread on it to get a buy going if I can get it done. Seems like there is enough interest. I'm interested in doing a buy for the Cut 50F since it is pilot arc. If there is enough people for other models we can look into that as well
About as loud as an air nozzle set to 60 psi. Not loud at all. I have hearing damage as it is and with an angle grinder I have to use hearing protection. With the plasma its no problem. I used it a ton today cutting angle iron freehand to make some pieces. Sure beats cutting the old way.
From what I have been told ESAB is who they copied the torch from. Honestly, I have one of these things and finding consumables on ebay shipped directly from China is the way to go. You cut out the middlemen and they are dirt cheap.

Update on the chinese cut 50 pilot arc plasma unit. Still going strong. I used up all of the wheel on my Makita chop saw today and needed to cut some 3/16 flat bar. So I broke out the plasma and zipped through them in seconds with the unit set at 38. I am building a Waverunner garage dolly now so I can remove one of the two Waverunners from the double trailer when i want to take them out by myself.
