Plasma Cutter Lincoln or Miller?

Mar 04, 2004 2 Replies

Hi all, after a year of loving my Lincoln TIG setup I started considering a Plasma Cutter. I went to my local welding supplier and asked about pricing and recommendations. To my surprise they said to buy the Miller hands down. It is cheaper, has less problems and the consumable last longer. This seems like a no brainer. Is this the experience of others? Thanks for all your help again! Michelle


Miller's Plasma cutters have really improved, but I still favor Thermal Dynamics and Hypertherm for plasm cutters.

Thermals have a finer cut and Hypertherms have more power and longer tip life.

Plasma cutters that get recommended frequently here are actually those made by Thermal Dynamics or Hypertherm.
