CMT industries/importers have been selling the plasma cutter in this auction and do not have consumables for this machine. I have been requesting consumables from the importer -- the eBay reseller has no technical knowledge of the plasma cutter and forwarded the following information about their supplier. I've tried calling this supplier for three months trying to get them to sell a package of consumables. I have been told that I can expect an order in and six to eight weeks, which didn't happen and now I've been told that after paying over $50, that I will receive two sets of consumables by the end of the week.

The price is outrageous for what I'm supposed to be receiving and I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.

One more thing about this machine is that if you touch the tip of the torch to the metal you're cutting, the tip is instantly destroyed. And the plasma cutter will no longer function. The hose and connection fitting are not standard thread, they are a older British design unique to the Hong Kong area. The fitting that secures the electrical connection from the hose to the plasma cutter is made of the thinnest and low-quality metal that fails after only a few uses.

The same plasma cutter has been sold under different names Bulldog for one. They all have the same front and are 30 and plasma cutters.

EBay for the most part is a good place to shop and I have purchased -- cars -- ultralight airplane -- guitars -- clothes and sports equipment -- tools -- cameras and for the most part have been satisfied with my purchase and experience and my feedback reflects eBay's sellers experience with me . But there has been a sore spot and that is the low-quality tools from China. This is not a condemnation of all Chinese made tools or the other low-cost plasma cutters that are for sale on eBay. From my inquiries most other plasma cutters have consumables available at a reasonable price.

Hopefully she can get you in touch with another one of her customers that can is buying the consumables from a local source. I'll also keep trying.
