one thing you also may want to consider when buying a plasma cutter is not only what you need to cut today, but also tommorow or next year! When i was researching as you are now i was really confused on what to buy. I have always had the ( go big or go home ) mentality which has got me in big trouble when i went home. I read in differnt places people saying there plasma cutter or table being too small and wishing they had gone alittle bigger because as time went on they had oppertunities to do other work but were not able to, i have never read anywhere someone wishing they had gone smaller, aside from financing.
I bought a 1250 hypertherm with a 4x8 drop side Dynatorch which i love and till death do we part, but in the last month i have had a few calls for peices bigger than my table is made for???? i know i can idex it, but the point is i thought i had that covered, originally i was going 4x4 plasma scam, hehe sorry Jim, typo....your 1250 though is my 4th child, joined at the hip with my DT. Anyways, the crystal ball is always foggy when making these types of choices because of the future unknown factors.
