I was planning on doing a video just sp u could see how great this machine is for the money, but just haven't had a chance, 2 days off just isn't enough. anyways,
1. vector has it listed as a ct 1520d, it is not, it is a cut-520.
2. it is hf start tig welding, pilot arc plasma cutting, stick welding machine.
3. vevor says it can cut 10mm and the owner manual says 12mm. the book is right, I have cut 1/2" steel, but you have to move slowly and have your air pressure set correctly.
4. I bough the machine for tigging, and it is quiet capable, keep on kind it is DC, so no aluminum. Also, it comes with a 9 torch and 1/16th consumables so you'll have to buy different ones if you want to use 3/32 tungsten.
5.It does not come with tungsten.
6. it does come with an argon regulator.
7. It comes with what I believe is an ag-60 torch, however it is not marked, but does use 60 consumables.
8. not much to say about stick, I've only used it a couple times and it isn't a power house,but the book says it is 160 Amp machine and I'd say that's about right.
I think that's about all I can say about it other than it is very capable, it's hard to believe you can buy a machine of this quality for this price. I'm planning on building a cnc plasma table and had thought I'd buy a higher price plasma for that build,but I see no point in wasting money on another, this things a beast at plasma cutting.
