Plasma cutter won't arc4/7/2024 What is going on here? Did I just throw away my money? I have a new Miller Mig Welder and I simply love it. BTW,they were using a long extension cord to power the Eastwood. I paid way more for my Hobart that they charge for the Eastwood, why is my Hobart so touchy on metal cutting? Good ground, good power supply, but boy oh boy flame out every few minutes and then wait for the compressor to cool down before you can resume "trying " to cut. They clamped the ground on any old spot they wanted to and went to town cutting away through rusty old vehicle metal. I recently viewed a video where they were cutting up old rusty cars and truck with an Eastwood plasma cutter. I can cut for a few seconds, then the flame goes out, then wait for the compressor to cool down the tip. And I use the supplied stand off, and have replaced consumables. I have the same electrical set up for on vehicle cutting as I do on new cold rolled 18 or 20ga. I always grind away rust to establish a good ground. If I attempt to cut metal on the old car, it is a real chore. If I am cutting 18 or 20ga cold rolled (new), no problem. ![]() I have the box store Hobart plasma cutter with on board compressor.
