Re: Newbie question about consumables and Torch Heads

You guys were 100% correct about a 50+ Amp plasma cutter torch head doing a better job on my 50 Amp machine than the PT-31. My RiverWeld-store order arrived today. I included a new SG-51 plasma torch head (and some consumables for it) with the order, and it is severance cutting between 3/4 and 7/8 d...

Re: Newbie question about consumables and Torch Heads

... their S&H prices seem a little high. For an order weighing under 8kg the ePacket shipping price came up as $10,000.00 USD. And the Hong Kong Post price was $100,000.00 USD. It turns out these outrageous values for S&H are the values actually returned by the carriers. Apparently they onl...

Re: Newbie question about consumables and Torch Heads

While doing my due diligence to find the cheapest consumable prices, I ran across RiverWeldStore.com. Does anyone have any experience purchasing from them? Their prices seem really good, they have everything I was looking for, and then some. But their S&H prices seem a little high. For an order ...

Re: Newbie question about consumables and Torch Heads

That exactly what I was looking for to make my TIG welding consumables purchase and give it a try. I think I might have got one of the rarest 3 in 1 Chinese Welders ever made. I bought a MTN Gearsmith CT520D. I haven't been able to find company information or a web site for them. But I did find thei...
