Purchasing my arcdroid soon , has anyone tried this cheap cnc plasma cutter from Amazon ? I usually buy the best of the best when it comes to tools but the plasma is more of a learning and playing with it kinda thing . I don’t see myself cutting 1/2” steel anytime soon or doing this often to warrant me spending $3k on a hypertherm ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/1X/a44c671a204462d5cc6c762c8671eb8ade24f89a.jpeg) ---

This is my Amazon recommendation: hynade CNC Blow Back Digital Air… [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JZW9VJ3?ref=ppx\_pop\_mob\_ap\_share](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JZW9VJ3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) Works great. ---

We’ve used it on 1/4 but I recall that it’s rated for 1/2”. We paired it with a craftsman 32 gal compressor from Lowe’s. ---

Hello, I have the Arcfony Cut 53…great little machine. To wire it for your torch you will use the 5 pin connector. On the 5 pin you will only use the 2 red wires. It doesn’t matter which red wire goes where on the back of the Arcdroid where it says Torch. It’s that simple…I just did the same thing 2 weeks ago and it works like a charm. Any questions reach out… Glenn ---

I have this machine and it works fantastic. I’m running it on 240v with a 60 gal compressor, Mega Compressor from Home Depot. I’ve been cutting 16g rolled steel for the past 2 weeks and it runs thru it very cleanly without any issues…I’ve been cutting at 60 psi…45 amps…feed speed 120 inches/min. It’s straight forward with big nobs and easy to read…even tells you when your psi is perfect. Great machine and I will buy it again. Hooking it up to the torch is very simple without any soldering. Just did mine 2 weeks ago and I can walk you thru that if you like. Glenn ---

Here’s one of the pieces I cut with the Arcfony and this is with no clean up…hot off the press. ![20240115_114451](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/2X/a/a9663e6014f3e1d7163a5bae41d4dda8a5680144.jpeg)
