Snap-On YA 2120 Plasma Cutter

[Awitte58]

Does anyone have any experience with the Snap-On YA 2120 Plasma Cutter?

I can get a hold of one that looks to be in good shape for $300.
I did a brief search and the concensus is that they work OK but are "a pain in the azz to get anything for."
Does this mean parts/consumables?

I would just like to get a plasma cutter for cheap and figured getting an older one that was considered of nice quality would be the way to go.

Any input is appreciated!

consumables are expensive, no matter where you get them from...

they are available from SO, but you better be sitting down when you price them out


i had a bluepoint branded plasma for a short time....

i bought comsumables for it 1 time... that was enough

A 10 second google search didn't turn up the YA 2120, but from what I've seen from other Snap On Plasma cutters, they're made by Century in Italy, with Hypertherm clone torches.
Snap On has around a 1000% markup on the consumables. They're pretty cheap from anyone else:

Eager to use it. I'm dabbling in some body work on the old truck and making air ride for it.
