IMHO,, Blue Point, Snap On, they suck big time..
I have a Lincoln .. cant remmeber the size, but its the smaller one. Works killer ......I thinks its the 225,,,,,,not sure without looking....
Neverhad an issue with it and its 4 years old, about 1100 bucks now..
Tried other guys and like the way this one worked the best...I am sure there are othere that are ok,,,like miller and such

I would look at Hypertherm and Thermal D. I have been selling welding supplies for 14 years and these are the 2 companies who perfected the process years ago. Most other companies like Miller and Lincoln keep changing their suppliers for parts and when a machine gets 5 years or older it is sometimes hard to get parts. Just my .02.

Done deal! Picked up a nice Thaermal Dynamics last week and haven't put it down yet 
. Hot knife thru butter is the best explanation.
