thermal dyantics 151 vs. hypertherm 1650 g3

[Homer Simpson]

Which is better running on the table? Consumables prices, longevity, and overall performance? I am sold on the Dynatorch table, I just need some input on what to run on it. Being a Miller 625 hand held user. Neeeed some help on the right torch. Obviously Miller being a quality name isn't the machine torch for the job. Any input helpful, including a site to buy the needed machine. So far for me the site to buy any kind of welding equipment is Air Gas. Hypertherm or thermaldynamics, please one or the other.
Thanks, Homer J. Simpson

Homer, I would not consider anything but a HYPERTHERM. Here on the CNC zone we even have our own Hypertherm rep, Jim Colt who answers questions or helps with problems. I don't recall EVER seeing any support from Thermal Dynamics. I have had zero problems with my Hypertherm 1250.

I also would not consider anything but a Hypertherm. I have a 1250 that I have ran for 3 years without a hitch.

I highly recommend this company: http://cgi.ebay.com/Hypertherm-Power...item335101e715

I purchased my HT 1250 from them. The salesperson I talked to in person was very knowledgeable in every area.

This is a very large company that has been in business for many years.
