I was going to order an Everlast PowerPlasma 60 ($1099 ) this weekend and then i found a lightly used (so the guy says) Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 82 for $1200.
What one should i chose?
I would love to buy a Hypertherm 45, but just can't swing 2K
Thanks for any advice.

Of the Thermal dynamics is still under warranty, I’d go that route personally.

The Thermal Dynamics is out of warranty. 7 years old

Me, I’d pass on the TD. Problem is, that’s your whole budget and if the machine takes a dirt nap, you’re screwed. At least with the Everlast, you’ve got a Warranty.

Or this unit, brand new, with a warranty for $1370 from Thermal Dynamics. That's cheaper than a Hypertherm 30XP, but with the cut power of a 45XP.

Those Thermal Dynamics units are an amazing value for the money, that's for sure.
