Arc Captain, RX Weld, or?

I've had good luck with a no name plasma cutter myself. Some random $100 plasma cutter from Amazon.

The consumables are shit, but the power is decent and it's never given me any issues.


A plasma cutter is also a lot different then a torch rig. Technology wise.

Do more research on what you have. Take the torch handles to the local weldings store, or like I did, to Princess Auto (harbor freight or equivalent) and compare what's on the shelves to what you own. That might save you a bunch of money.
And ask ChatGPT about what fits, load pics and ask it. You can't trust it but I find it gives me directions to search.

The torches that I have that are functional, only the Craftsman has interchangeable heads. The torches on my shed set and my shop set are cutting only, so no way to use a rosebud with those. The midget set isn’t worth trying to find a rosebud for, it’s too small of a torch for most of what I do (it’s intended for the little portable sets).

The other couple torches I have either have leaking valves and/or parts are not available anymore. There’s one or two cutting only and one welding only.

I’m definitely not giving up the torch because it’s pretty versatile but it would be nice to move to a plasma for general cutting and save the torch gas for things a plasma can’t do. I have looked at those cheap Amazon ones a couple times, lol

I don't use mine every day, but it works well when I do use it. I think we bough it about 6 or 7 years ago for cutting stainless.
