I want to join in the fun here too, so I went and ordered a 50i plasma cutter, for some projects around here on a few things I've been wanting to do, figured a plasma cutter would be a big help. Comparing with the others in that range I thought the longevity was the best choice for me right now, would love to have a new welder too but can't decide on which one right now so thought I'd see how I like the plasma first before I decide.
Can't wait for it to be delivered. I'll post some pics of it and some cutting when it gets here.
Edit: guess I don't get to play for a while, 50i is not in stock like the website shows, they are pushing the 42i but the lower duty cycle is giving me concererns, and now I notice the 42i doesn't have the digital display or adjustable air flow, not real sure I'm going to be satisfied with this, seriously consider canceling now, I'm bummed....
