Hey Guys!
I am Dan and I work at PlasmaCAM. Shane, you might be referring to our original model with the torch holder. The one on the DHC2 is actually much better and easier to line up square as compared to the original model. Just like any other company, we always try continue to improve and innovate. We do have a 3 year warranty on the machine, which is really good compared to some of the other machines out there. The control box, if anything ever happened after the 3 years, can be exchanged for $498 (which is pretty reasonable). The hypertherm powermax 45 can be purchased retail from around $1,700 - $2,100 for hand held system. Add about $650 dollars if you want to go with a machine torch. Either can be used with the plasmacam. My personal opinion is that I can cut the same on both, so I can't really warrant the extra $650. Furthermore, a water table on the PlasmaCAM, is really easy to fabricate. We have DXF file that you can use to cut it out if you need it (we had to do it because we had to take a water table to a Trade show in Germany). I will tell you that water table can be messy and toxic, so beware. The down draft system is a lot better in my experience at controlling dust and smoke. So I am a bigger 'fan' of the down draft. But to each his own.
By the way Shane, I really do think that you did a great job on your build! Nice work man!
Sometimes people like the doing it yourself gig, but others prefers another an easier and less complex way. There are some major advantages with our machine. We support them, they are ready to order and ship upon your phone call, we can also provide financing for those who would prefer a low monthly payment option.
Give me a call if you guys ever have any questions. I am always available and would loving hearing from you guys.
Thanks!
Dan
