You may recall that in the process of setting up my new shop, I built this copper loop air dryer. I had some reservations about it's effectiveness, but information from this site and Ewe Toob was quite positive, so I went for it.
You may also recall that I bought a Zeny plasma cutter, again based on information from this site (Jim, I think...). Quite frankly, I wasn't impressed. For whatever reason, I couldn't keep the plasma arc going. It'd cut briefly and then quit. Sometimes it would restart, sometimes it wouldn't. I got fed up with it, rolled it into a corner and went back to my oxy/acetylene torch.
Today, I needed an 8x12 piece of flat plate. Nothing in my stash so I had to cut it out of a piece of mobile home frame I beam. Decided to give the Zeny one more try.
Wholly Bat, Shitman! It worked like a champ! Instant start, stable plasma, blew threw the 3/16ths like paper! The ONLY difference was the air dryer in the supply line. Apparently, I had some pretty nasty air coming out of the old setup.
I'm a happy camper.
