You, my friend, are an excellent teacher. You remind me of my shop teacher in 8th grade. Yes folks, there was a time when our schools taught the trades as early as 8th grade. You sir, would make fantastic shop teacher. Well presented and easy to follow. Thank thank you. CR

Great teacher I agree. In high school I took Drafting, wood shop, auto shop, and i think maybe welding. Anything to keep me away from the hard stuff like algebra. Now at 76 I tinker with something every day.

I'm glad I grew up going to a well funded rural school. Our ag shop building was bigger than the school itself. Was lucky enough to take wood, metal, welding, and drafting along with business classes. Not that I've used much of those skills after 😶

Even nowadays many (maybe not all) high schools have pretty good shop programs. My friend's sons (twins) built a "baja racer" in the high school auto shop a couple of years ago. For kids that want to do mechanical engineering at college it's a good thing to have experience in building race vehicles or similar. Now at college they get to work with Haas CNC machines and whatnot

Man I don’t tell people what to do very often but you need to be a high school shop teacher! Your instructions are absolutely perfect clear and concise. Zero boring bill shit. Bravo

Hot dang! I've been using my plasma cutter wrong and always get a bevel edge that drives me crazy thinking my unit was a POS! Looking forward to try your techniques. I had no idea travel speed caused the bevel, nor did I know about the CCW swirl. I even tried cutting at an angle to get a straight edge to no avail. Thanks for teaching this old dog some new tricks.

I’m 50 years old and y’all keep teaching me new things! Your awesome, keep it up

This video is one of the BEST I've ever seen on this topic. Three weeks of trade-school didn't cover this material half as well, plus it was boring tedious and expensive as hell. THIS GUY, on the other hand, knows his shit and delivers all the crucial knowledge concisely. THANK YOU!

WQow, a ton of information for free! I feel like I have just taken a master class! Thank you so very much for posting this!

Did I ever luck out! I just got a commission to provide some artsy designs for 1/8" steel security shutters, and figured I'd better learn something about plasma cutting. Boy did I ever learn. Thank you for providing an intro that includes nuances, such as direction of cut as it relates to desired end results. I am passing this video along to the plasma-cutter-newbie who is building the shutters.

Bought a cheap plasma cutter to learn on and do a couple small jobs I've been putting off, this was just the video to get me started. Thanks! I have a feeling I'm going to end up putting more time into this and moving up to a better cutter once I get the hang of it, this looks like it's going to actually be more fun than work!

One way to judge your cut speed. Divide the recommended speed by 60 ( seconds per min.) . Multiply that by length of cut and do the “ one Mississippi” count. If you're a novice like me, it helped. And thanks for a great tutorial. I was not aware that torch parts were amp specific. Or I forgot.

This was literally the most informative video I have ever watched.

You are the first one I've heard mention hexavalent chromium from stainless, so thanks! Great job teaching on these videos - much appreciated.

Great intro to plasma cutting. You touched on the electrocution risks but probably worth mentioning that plasma cutters have a much higher operating voltage than a welder has, hence the greater care needed to avoid getting zapped.

This was a great video for an old guy that is new to plasma cutting. Thanks.

Love your channel! It’s helped me so much while building our container house 😊🙌🔥🛠

Seen tons of crap videos about plasma cutters but this one is great!! Its refreshing to hear someone who knows what they are talking about and has useful information! Thank you!

I clicked away from the other guys video, he was not prepared. I found this presentation and I am a fan! Thank you, very clear, I took notes. And thanks for the heads up on stainless and hexavalent chromium.

I don't even remember my manual saying anything about cut direction. Great thing to know.

I've barely ran a plasma cutter at all so this was very helpful. Great stuff again. Thanks!

Wow! This was my "I know plasma" matrix moment. You're a great teacher, thank you for sharing all that experience so clearly.

I'm doing apprentice plumbing and just finished 1st year at technical college in Calgary, Canada. I like your videos because they explain everything I need to know about cutting/welding for class. Thanks.

Very very good explanation, you guys are sooo professional on all your video. Bravo! You are THE welding channel to watch and learn the right way from competency to security. Many thanks from Canada!

Nice intro into plasma cutting. I never got to that part in school, always wondered about it, but with your demo I think I can conquer it. Cool Demo! 👍

Great job really covered what a person needs to get started, thank you.

Excellent video. Really excited about having the opportunity to work with one of these later on this year. Excellent instruction as the host was very thorough and knowledgeable. Thanks.

I’m an old dog. You’re teaching me some new tricks! New to plasma and had no idea about cleaner edge of cut on the right side. Great info, I learned more in this one vid than in several others combined. Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials. Keep it up.

Hi, fantastic video. You gave an excellent tutorial on what's involved and how to set up the machine. I had lots of questions on the subject but you answered them all. Thanks from Ireland.

This video helped me a ton! Just started working in a shop that has a plasma cutter and never used one before so this helped with learning how to get a quality cut.

THis guy is a fantastic teacher. Pay him more.

Jason dont give up making videos man you do a good job elaborating on topics really enjoy when you put a new video out because I learn a lot even with things I'm knowledgeable with thanks again good video

This is the best Intro to Plasma cutting I've watched. I didn't realize there was a difference in cutting side / direction. Great tip. Good safety advise as well.

Thanks for the vid. Very helpful. I have never been trained in plasma, but just used my oxy rig for everything for years, but I want to try to get a plasma cutter and this helps me understand the settings and consumables. The little nuances of knowledge like the cut swirl is gold. Thanks again.

Great job, nice and clear, with extra points, and not so fast. Some guys think it's a horse race. Anyway you showed me what I was doing wrong (with my older machine), thanks.

Great video! To the point, well constructed information, no useless filler (comments)! Had to see to the end and your speed of dialogue keeps one's attention. Very well done!

Great tutorial, thanks so much. 👍🏻👍🏻 I just bought my first plasma cutter and this video was really helpful.

good vid Jason , you are every bit as good as Bob as a teacher and I di like your style, Like me Bob is just older with a tad more experience of age , again your are very good at teaching and getting the message across to all levels of experience, keep up the great work.

Thank you for this instruction. I have just purchased a plasma cutter and this is the information I need. The manual is good as far as it goes but seeing it all put together is essential. Thank you again.

Thank you. I have never had the opportunity to use a plasma cutter, only watched them being used. I knew there was a lot to them but had no idea it was that much. I'm glad you educated me because I can make a much better informed decision about buying one and avoid getting discouraged while trying to learn to use it. I had no idea about the rotation but can relate it to using a rotary tool for cutting drywall. Thanks again.

Good video, covers the basics for a beginner like me, with no time wasted on unneccesaries. This helped me a great deal getting better cuts from my hobby machine.

At my old job me and another welder found a hypertherm powermax 150 collecting dust and cobwebs in the corner of the shop. We tried to convince our boss about investing in a pipe saddle to cut and bevel pipe, instead of being cut by a saw then machining the bevels. At first they didnt believe us (and possibly thought we didnt know what we were talking about) well 5 weeks later they bought it and they couldnt get enough of it. Just goes to show you that some conpanies do not know what they have and dont realize how knowledgeable their welders are.

The modern neocon/neolib, supply side thinking, corporate bigwhig is not that person., they care about personal advancement & enrichment and "cheat to win, cheat your employees &, cheat the customer" is always their first choice. Take the rampant use in recent years of TARP money spent by companies buying back their own company stock.

None of this benefited employees, consumers or, shareholders, it didn't address any possible real problems the companies could be experiencing, it didn't do anything but spend a bunch of negative interest government loan money on inflating C.E.O. pay....... That is the mind of the Captain's of industry and as long as they can make enough profits for the owner class to live there lives if opulence & excess than worker happiness in not a thing corporate ameirca cares about.

The same goes for ANY JOB. Try working for he US Government😝. Talk about a bunch of empty suits with mammoth egos. It takes whatever school to get hired but beyond that it’s all how brown your nose is. The Landscape foreman at a federal prison I worked at told me a great one that just happened to him. The warden summoned him on a Monday morning matter of great concern. He was all worked up because the new trees they’d planted earlier in the year looked like they were dying . Something had to be done immediately! The foreman said he said he’d get right on it with the inmate crew. He told me “ how in hell could I tell him that a cold snap September in the Adirondack mountains made the trees go dormant”? I agreed, dummer than a boot considering that useless warden had been there for 3-4 years already🙄.

Flawless Victory! Excellent Tutorial.Feeling confident about the plasma cutting job and welding job on my car.

Thank you for the info. I didn't know about the rotation (direction) of travel vs the piece that you were keeping. The router was a good analogy.

Very well done video with a lot of great tips and info. These plasma cutters are the way to go for making parts. Yes, gas or plasma cutting is a skill, and if u don't do it often, u get rusty. I use to be a fit up mig welder 50 years ago, but I haven't cut steel with my oxy/acetylene torch in 22 years. I'll be lucky if I don't catch myself on fire.

Thanks for sharing. Great information. Hope Bob is doing well.

Great presentation buddy. After using my plasma cutter I have learned some entry level info from you.

Excellent presention and highly informative. Seems like a much safer process for cutting thick material than oxyfuel and more versatile since you can cut a wider variety of metals.

EXCELLENT video!!! I've been contemplating getting a plasma cutter and this video fit in perfectly! I think you wonderfully covered all the pertinent information, tips, and things to watch out for. You are a great instructor. (I do hear a bit slower than you talk, so I really had to pay close attention, though...LOL). I have bookmarked the video, so that even if I don't get to acquire a plasma of my own, I can reference this video to help make proper cuts. Well done!

Great presentation and instruction, thank you for all of that information.

taking shop right now and got to work on client's cars, my moms car and now asked to try welding and plama cutting. i love the opportunities I get and I bet this will help me get into a worthy quantom mechabics class.

i'd have saved hundreds if not thousands in consumed consumables or phuckerd up projects had i viewed and absorbed your metal working vids decades ago..even though i attended trade college back in '70's for welding i found this stuff far more critical and useful..good job

Merry Christmas folks. Love the channel highest quality. Respect.

just wanted to thank you for this well done video. you probably prevented me from burning down my garage or injuring myself. for that, i thank you! incidentally, i used a very inexpensive cutter. yeswelder cut 55ds. everything in your video was relevant. most of all. i appreciate that you kept me from poisoning myself cutting stainless... 🤘🤘

We have the exact same one at college! Loved it, impressive piece of kit if you’ve never seen and used one up close. But its quite convenient and indeed a lot faster than C2H2.

Great tips as always! I work in my home shop so I cut over a metal 55gal drum that I turned into a safe plasma cutting table with water in the bottom. Added 1/8” x 1.5” flat bar every inch cut to length! Took about 30’ of the flat stock! Works fantastic!
