i bought a clarke one, works fine. Stopped for a few years til i realised it just needed a new tip! Works fine again. Was something like 450 i think.

look at the price of the consumables, I have a cerboro one, big mistake as the tips cost £££

Cannot convert to a cheap head as its not HF start, right pain in the rear.

I got me one of the Chinese ones. A 40amp Berlan. Its an obvious Chinese one even though it came from Germany off E-blag, but I've had no problems with it at all. Supposed to cut 10mm, but in reality 6mm tops. I use it for thin plate up to about 3mm and rusty Mini panels and its great, just flies though the thin stuff. Consumables cheap also.
