Hey all, I think since I've got 1999 Dodge diesel truck coming that I'm going to put back on the road, I figured now might be a good time to pull the trigger on a plasma cutter. My local shop (about 15 mins from my house) stocks the  Victor Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster plasma cutters. Does anyone have any experience with them? I've read some good review, seems like it might be a decent rig?

TexasRedNeck:
Ken has a Thermal Dynamic plasma.  I'm wanting to get one myself.  Looking forward to input.

Flyin6:
TD makes a decent Plasma Cutter. Hypertherm is the best out there I think...A lot of folks would agree

KensAuto:
Both of mine are Hypertherms. Can't comment on the Victor as I have zero experience with them.

rcampbell:
I can also get the Hypertherm, they just have to order them as opposed to them being stocked, plus they cost more. I've also been wondering if it might be better to get a small TIG welder, or a multi-process like the Lincoln 210-MP, since I do have access to LPG/Oxy torches, but my little old LIncoln 175T mig welder has been better days.

I figured the plasma might be good for 'fabbing brackets etc, but then I'd also need to get an air compressor as the one we have at the farm is a little shoddy, and mostly reserved for filled tires than running air tools.
