Whatever works for you!
I like the way you break things down into the simplest terms so us backyard enthusiast with some time and determination can get the most out of what is on hand. Have my fingers crossed for hitting the jackpot on the ArcCaptain unit.

Thanks for checking it out. I may convert all of the ones I got!
Love this as I want to build a plasma cnc. Only question would be, with it beeing this easy to do, why don’t the manufacturers set them up like this? There must be some disadvantage or safety issues. I know the connection should switch after ignition, and keeping it permanent lowers power a little but not overly concerned about that, as i’ve no need to cut 10-12mm plate.

The pilot version of this unit is only $10 more so I'd go that route.
That’s so simple even I could it. Thanks Dave from your HVAC brother in the north.👍👍🇨🇦

great video Dave, don't know how many times i can enter the giveaway but i would still like the Plasma
If you understand electric side than you would know this way reduce power of the plasma. The correct way it is to disconnect the pilot circuit after the main current start. Try cut some thick metal with your improvement...

I understand but the draw is so little it really didn't affect the usage. I ran 1/2" afterwards and it cuts just fine. Thanks for the heads up!!

There is a little ignitor in there from what I can see but I suppose you are correct.
Plasma cutter would be nice to have if they weren't so expensive

Cool!!!! Maybe my torch is burned out. The pilot arc hasn't worked in a while. I did not realize that is what that connection is for.

@@madgingercustoms Beavis and Butthead Do America had reference to lots of slots. You used the word slots a few times. Just stupid humor.
Is the connector big enough to slide over the button on the "grounding" lug? If so, why not just put the connector over the button on the ground cable plug it back in and you've basically done the same thing with zero tools needed.😊

It won't lock in. I tried that first.
Will the same procedure work for the Arccaptain CUT50 unit
@madgingercustoms
7 ай бұрын
Yes but the Arccaptain has a push on switch connector not a screw on so you just need to swap that over.
Why I don’t just buy the right machine with the right torch??

It was supplied by the manufacturer. They sent a lift arc so we did a budget shootout with other brands.

I’d sell my plasma to get a plasma cutter if you don’t give me that free plasma cutter…
Yeah I can't afford a plasma cutter.
