was looking at that too

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??
 

Gotta be worth a punt at that money, but I wouldn't expect to be cutting anything more than 5 or 6 mm with it.

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??
 

Consumables?

Do what everyone else does in Lidl. Rob all the spares out of the other boxes.

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??
 

You know what really boils my piss. Those fucking Euro quick release air connectors that are on all of Lidl's shite!
WTF is wrong with the tried and trusted PCL couplings that we've used since forever?
Euro cunts! :devil:

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??
 

Definitely worth a punt at that money. I highly doubt it will do 12mm though but at that price who cares :lbhbh:

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??
 

Looks to be good value.If not you can return it and get your money refunded.

Happy valentines day luv...ye said not to get you flowers.....:smileee:

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??

Be handy for a cut and shut 😂🤣

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??
 

Always the same conversation with myself....

- Do I need it?
- No.
- Do I want it?
- Yes.
- But why?
- Because of reasons
- Do I have the spare money?
- Not really
- Will I still get it anyways?
- Probably...

Would this thing run off a 12v halfords adapter plug ?

I'm pretty sure kiosk dispensers and bank ATM's are only 6mm steel.

It'd run off a decent inverter :ninja:

And hook the air line to the exhaust of your bike instead of compressed air. Bob your uncle and fannies a gee bag :thumbsup2:

Aye, and a special mosfet one for you, might keep you quiet!

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??
 

A neighbour got one . Cut 6mm steel like a hot knife through butter . And cut 10mm steel a little slower but no bother to it . Use a block of timber as a straight guide and it cuts very clean

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??
 

I bought one but I've not opened the box yet. I'm going to make a CNC plasma cutter from it.

I hope it doesn't take as long as some of my bike projects, or I'll be dead before I finish it :doh:

[B]What extra gear do you need to use on this plasma cutter if any.....? :thumbsup2:[/B]

To make it CNC? A frame, stepper motors, ball screws, slides and a control board.

I'm going to make a laser cutter/engraver first, then once that's working OK I'll just make it bigger and attach the torch or make a new one.

Re: Lidl Plasma Cutter??
 

If anyone bought one on a whim and doesn't want it let me know:lbhbh:

Air compressor capable of decent CFM. I didnt see the spec so dont know for sure. I also assume that all consumables etc are inclused.

As above, just a compressor.

It comes with one of those 16A plugs attached.

So you'll need a socket for it, or just replace it with a normal 13A plug.

surely it's fitted with a 16A commando for a reason? What's the current draw on it likely to be?
