hypertherm = expensive consumables. i have a friend with one and he borrows my harbor freight 40 amper because my consumables cost 12 bucks to replace his are 50. i am leery of h.f tools especially at 650 bucks but alas after 8 yrs of ownership i think this is the best non commerecial plasma cutter available and definitely the cheapest to run . the torch is a high quality trafimet. my friend the other day told me if he could sell his ( original cost of 1200 bucks ) for what an hf unit costs (650) he would do it immediately. as to the esabs in a similar price range you get no pilot arc feature and again high consumable costs. i pondered the purchase for about 2 months going to hf 3 times and reviewing the product. i believe this to be the single best buy at harbor freight period. yes im a bit proud about this but after 8 yrs my concerns are no more and this has proven to be an excellent buy and ovbiously i would not hesitate to recommend one or replace mine with another if it gave in the ghost tomorrow with another just like it . well thats my .02 hope it helps
