Plasma cutters what do you have?

Boy, I sure wasn't impressed. I incorrectly reasoned that I would not be cutting much thicker material, and the HF gun is junk, tips are thin.

I was thinking of buying a different gun when I ran into a Thermo Dynamics in good shape used for not much more than I paid for the HF

That Thermo Dynamics is a factor of 10 above the HF, and the gun is so obviously better made than the HF, that it's a joke.

Frankly, I'd look around for a used name brand over a new HF, if you can't afford a new one.

Not sure which one you had. Their prior model was junk. The torch on this unit is made by Trafimet - same as many of the US brands. Keep in mind that US brands use Chinese internals.
I did my research on this unit, the experience with it has been good. I have a friend who is certified in all kinds of welding and has experience with many plasma cutters. He tried it and he rated its performance good. It's rated for 1/2" cut and meets that standard. Many HF tools are indeed junk, but not all.
