Plasma do's and don'ts

Spec the thremal dynamics plas what series is it? I bought one back in 2003 never had a problem. Only thing I needed to change was the tips. Intresting thread.

My TD is still going strong, but it doesn't have any computer controls on it, WAY to old...... I had noticed the tips and crap wearing out really fast a while back. The last batch I got seemed to last 5X as long.

Wyatt I had the old 50, That FOOKER WAS AN ANIMAL....The one that got stolen was the older 30 series...That one was awesome as well.... and the last one was the latest and greatest computer enhanced 30 series
Had it not given me so many problems with the bad consumables, and not ate motherboards like they were free......Lastly had they stood behind it in the end...but that bullshit of it's out of warranty by a week after it sat for almost a year cuz I thought the gun was bad...But hey I got 375 bux from the dryer...
BDKW,
Ya, alot of guys got those bad consumables, at the end my dealer bought back the last bags of tips and cups... so that was nice

I hear ya on the mother board deal. The little suitcase Miller TIG I had decided to blow the board. Miller wanted 600$ for the board with no warranty on the new one and another 150$ to install it. It was only slightly more to buy a new unit.......
 
I really try to stay away from anything new thats computer controlled anymore. If I can't fix it Myself, I don't want it.........
