New YouTube Everlast Channel

[performance]

Just wanted to let you guys know that we have our new YouTube Channel up and running.

We will be working on the videos, but the first two "official" Everlast Videos are up. They are part 1 and part 2 of the PowerPlasma 60 setup and cutting demonstration.

We chose this unit to be the first official video because it has good performance and is the mid spot of our lineup. It also has controls that are in common with all the other units so a customer can take and transfer the basics to the other machines. The videos will improve with quality and smoothness as we get more experience doing them and with your inputs we will improve. Although our budget is low right now for a super pro style video, we hope these will prove helpful to our customers.

You can subscribe if you have an account and you will receive automatic notifications of additional products coming on line in the video series.

Great Videos! That Pilot arc works great.

[performance]

Sign up, and give us your thoughts.

[I_Love_Plasma]

Yeah sounds good.

Anyway great promotional vids.

My Bro and I are very good at making videos and editing. If you need any commercials made, you know where to come. (We're not licensed Pros though).

Can't wait to see the next ones. I think this is a great business move because it demonstrates the quality and ability of your units. It will also show the uninitiated what is possible with your quality unit.

With each advancement in quality and design you are setting your selves up to be an industry leader.

UMMM......That guy is me actually.
Now you know the rest of the story.

But no, safety is not second. A pair of cutting glasses is well within safety standards. Some people use full tinted shields or helmets. For my sake, I wear those because i have better full directional visibility than either a shield or helmet affords. Those Nemesis glasses are fully approved ansi safety glasses and wrap around tightly so nothing can get in, they are for cutting, not sun glasses. You can't see in the video, but they are quite dark and 100 % UVA and UVB and 99. something percent infrared blocking.

I will be getting together a safety video later on so the guys can see. A key part of safety is comfort. If you are not comfortable and you are encumbered or something like movement or vision is restricted, it is not conducive to good safety.

Sorry Mark, didn't know......Cheers?

Great Vids as I said.

Were did U get those glasses? They're really neat looking,thus I thought they were sun specs.

The Nemesis brand focuses on style as well as functionality. They are available in clear, smoke, and cutting shades. I by them at my local welding distributor. I have several pair of each, even in camo. I use those for regular sun protection.

However, I do want to bring up a point of safety. After your post, I went directly to the OSHA web site last night and did a little research. And after reading, for work place environments a full protection is required for plasma operation. However, in some circumstances, in which this video was self created, OSHA does not have jurisdiction.

Here a few points of safety in plain terms from OSHA.

I stand corrected. Well, we all learn something, everyday, at least I do, as you guys help keep me on top of the learning curve. The glasses fall well within the OXY Fuel requirements, but do not fall into the Plasma Arc processes, although they do provide full protection to the eyes, they do not meet the further requirements of face, neck, ears and head protection in a workplace environment, unless I use spf 50 lol.

There is a lot of good and common sense info here and in other places within the osha site dedicated to welding and its safety. Though private enterprise and hobbyists do not fall into that category into general monitoring by OSHA, it would be wise to work toward observance of these safety guidelines.

Great info, I'm sorry for stepping on your toes...

I've been on the OSHA website a lot for different things and new the lowest shield was #8 for Plasma cutting.

Thanks a lot and great vids,
I Love Plasma

If you will read the asteriks, these really are only recommendations, but they say that if you don't have direct, close sight of the arc, basically you can get away with considerably less. That's pretty much all the time with plasma.

Well done videos. Easy to understand. Makes me feel better about the 60 that's on its way to me. Particularly like the thin kerf and tight radius designs on the 16 gauge.

Be sure to observe the 30 amp limit when drag cutting. Your consumables will appreciate it. In fact anything 3/8 and greater should be used with a standoff.

The wire standoff is a little cumbersome at times, but light pressure is all that is needed to glide smoothly across the surface. If you will notice, the the rusty steel gave me a little friction issue. But a gently cup brushing will clean it up so that it can glide smoothly across the surface. The piece I was cutting had developed scale and pitting.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with you using the torch without the standoff at higher amperages if you can hold it steady.

Any advice on how to cut a painted piece, say 20 gauge sheet? Thanks, Mark.

Biggest part of it is to make sure the plasma has a good connection at the work clamp. So you may have to scratch through the paint to get good contact.

For all pilot arc machines, the rest is easy as it will do the work for you.

For non pilot arc machines, such as the SuperCut series, generally aim the arc forward slightly to direct the heat in front of the cut. Doing so will help to scour the surface to clean the paint. Otherwise, it is sorta difficult at times.

Use the minimum amperage of 20 amps to make cut. If the surface is heavily painted then a standoff will be required as the paint will melt and curl under the cutting nozzle and make it want to stick to the metal.

Move fast.

Thanks. I didn't realize the SuperCut series was non pilot arc. I'll try aiming the arc forward and keep moving. A standoff sounds like a smart way to keep from wearing out the consumables too fast.

[performance]

Pilot arc is nice, but not necessary for many circumstances and even without it, you can "get by" with the HF only machines.

[SimpleSimon]

I always enjoy instructional videos. Share the wealth, so to speak.

[performance]

I will try to start posting more videos soon. Fabtech is over. Now, I will video some NEW models, I hope this week.
