Miller Spectrum 300 plasma cutter

What do you guys think of a Miller Sprectrum 300 Plasma cutter? I might have found one at a good price. I don't need a really heavy duty machine.

Thanks

Thats good cause it ain't one. I had a Cutmate 300 for my first plasma. It will cut 1/4 steel and 3/16 aluminum or Stainless. It might severe 3/8" steel on a good day downhill with a tail wind. Within those requirements it was a decent little machine.

Remember with any plasma, dry clean air is a must!

i have never personally used one but when looking to buy plasmas i talked to a local salesman and he classed the Miller machines with the Hypertherm line. he said if anything Miller had quicker service time but he thought they both performed the same. (this is coming from a salesman though....take it for what it's worth LOL)

So is there a brand that is the Cadillac (maybe Lexus now) of plasma cutters? I'm casually looking at plasma cutters but don't really have a serious need for one yet.

I have a Miller 300 and have had good luck with mine. I also agree with Shade Tree Welder on the limits of it. Very good machine within it's limits.
