If you are looking for a professional level plasma table machine that you aren't likely to quickly out grow, the Everlast PowerPlasma 82i with the CNC package is likely the one that you'd choose. The portability, power, and performance, combine with the price to make the PowerPlasma 82i one of the best choices available in it's class when you consider power/purchase cost ratios. You get the best cut per amp per dollar paid for the PowerPlasma 82i CNC over any other 80 amp cutter in it's class. For routine daily use, the unit is recommended for cutting 5/8" thick plate metal. And for maximum cut capability on CNC, this unit is capable of producing quality cuts of 1" or greater (at reduced speeds). Considering the purchase price, where else will you find a plasma cutter ready for plasma table use with a built in CNC socket and CNC torch? Regarding portability, the unit's size is compact and can be easily stored or placed near the work area. The new Italian designed iPT 80 machine/CNC torch is rugged and features improved consumable life with the patented "back striking" design. This blowback design torch comes with a variety of consumable choices, shielded and unshielded. True it has a professional feel, capability and performance, but it also offers something for the hobbyist, with standard 240V operating input, which makes it right at home in any well equipped home shop plasma table or garage.
