HUMMMMMMM. I have been selling Welding equipment for 12 years, i a sceptical on a plazma, tig and stick machine all in one AND @ 300.00.. Consumables for the tig SHOULD not be a problem but good luck getting the tips, electodes, swerl wrings, cups ect (consumables), shure to bring in 300 buck woth of headeaks.
there is only ONE some what decent package like this thatI am aware of and it is made by Panisonic 1/2" mig and plazma but it goes for somthing like 3500.00.

good luck if you decide to go with it

well that is just where the bidding is at right now. the last 10 or so that he has sold have gone for $600+. I dont much need the welder as much as i need a plasma cutter.

Give this one a worl http://cgi.ebay.com/HYPERTHERM-POWER...QQcmdZViewItem

I personaly sell them and there great units. Hypertherem makes the Miller Plasma units and there consumables are 30% cheaper than most, and they last just as long. Generaly 30 minuits fo CONTINUOUS CUTTING for any cutter.
No i do not work for Hypertherm!

thanx but too pricey for me. not cutting real thick metal. just recreational use on the car. anything that cuts real thin?

Ya it is pricey, the older units are great, here is one but its 220 http://cgi.ebay.com/hypertherm-plasm...QQcmdZViewItem
I dont know if consumables are still available for this one though.
or you can try the powermax 190c i think thay go for 750. http://hypertherm.com/languages/engl...wermax190c.php
or any of the thermal dynamics cutmaster xlseries (gary ones) they where great to (new ones lost cut quality). also the draggun is nice http://cgi.ebay.com/THERMAL-DYNAMICS...QQcmdZViewItem
