Hello- my name is Ken and I live in Colorado. I just received my Everlast Cut 50 and spent an afternoon cutting up some I/8" to 1/4" scrap just to get used to using it. First let me say I am amazed at how light and compact the unit is. I had never used a plasma cutter before but did not have any problems cutting up the scrap. I was also amazed at how quick it cuts metal. I have a number of projects planned and will post pictures as I work on them.
