Linde PCM-31 plasma cutter info

[carcajou]

Anyone have any first hand experience with this model? Were they any good? I have a chance to buy one that works and i do believe consumable parts are available from ESAB . Any info would be helpful.

It's certainly a bit of a relic. Might be tough as iron I dunno, but I can tell you there is nothing lovely about buying ESAB consumables. If its the PT31XL torch, the nozzle gets bitched up a little so like 5 to 1 nozzles to electrodes. That nozzle is narrow and fine- it works great for automotive stuff.

I'd really try to get in a inverter glass machine unless its really cheap. Hypertherm is really the gold standard in the states, but if I were looking for cheap and slightly obscure I'd consider a used ESAB inverter instead.
