  • 30 March 2023
    I owned a 30 Amp R-Tech machine a few years back and used it on a number of projects. Went up to a 50 Amp Air-Start machine from another UK based supplier - the R-Tech 50 Amp was a little out of my price range at the time. In hindsight, I should have waited and saved up a few more pennies. The old motto "buy cheap, buy twice" most definitely applies here.... I've recently been doing a fair amount of cutting in 3 mm 304 Stainless lately. My existing 50 Amp machine was a nightmare. Unless it was maxed out, cutting wasn't clean at all. The kerf wasn't clearing and I was getting **-black, an incomplete cut line and two pieces of stainless that needed serious persuasion to separate. Air pressure was set per instructions, air is clean and dry from a Hydrovane HV02, with a big copper pipe aftercooler, coalescing filter and a further *** cartridge filter. Time for a better machine. I looked around for single-phase plasma cutters and came across Doubleboost's YouTube reviews of the P50HF. After watching both videos, I decided to order one. The R-Tech machine, despite not being THAT much more expensive than my existing machine is in a dream to use. The HF start is fantastic and it cuts 3 mm stainless cleanly at around 20 - 25 Amps. It's solidly built, has the pressure gauge on the front where you need it and I'd forgotten how great the Test Gas switch was for setting up the actual cutting air pressure. For circle cutting, I crank the Amps up to full and get fast, clean holes and circles which need very little edge clean up. Have made quite a few cuts so far and I'm still on the first electrode and cutting tip. It looks like the free extra consumables pack will last a very long time indeed! The torch is very nicely made, has plenty of hose and the robust switch guard prevents accidental operation. My only minor grumble is that the regulator came pre-fitted with a standard PCL barb. All my air fittings are XF and removing the PCL to replace it with an XF was a challenge. Attempts to unscrew it with a spanner were futile. The solution involved disconnecting the air hose by cutting the clip, stripping down the regulator to remove any heat sensitive parts and then heating the brass PCL fitting with a MAPP gas torch until it was red hot. Only then was I able to unscrew it. It seems R-Tech uses the same thread sealant that I do 🤣 After a quick thread clean up, I screwed in my XF connector, re-assembled the regulator, crimped the hose back on with an 'O' clip and I was in business. If you're in the market for a plasma cutter in this amperage range, the R-Tech P50HF is a no-brainer!

    Great product
  • 17 September 2021
    The HR50 plasma cutter, cuts extremely well .I've been cutting between 8 and 10mm steel plate with no troubles. Run times between 1&2 hours cutting intermittently with tea and biscuits. I would recommend to any steel fabrications company's I'd work for as oppose to the main stream plasmas in its class. The quality and performance of the HF50 plasma is surprisingly good ,I personally can not find fault in the build quality and performance of the machine. For the price ,build quality and performance, you'd be hard pushed to find something out there on the market for the price etc. + it come with a good warranty. In a nut shell I'm above pleased with my HF50. I'll differential be looking at the mig 250 amp soon.
  • 10 September 2021
    A good quality plasma cutter much better than the small 30C ,I don?t need to cut very thick steel so it?s more than capable for my needs.would recommend to anyone.
  • 24 August 2021
    This kit does exactly what it claims, great product.
  • 02 July 2021
    Sorry but haven't used the machine yet
  • 01 July 2021
    We intend to use the plasma cutter in our gate business, Would recommend the plasma cutter for any medium-size workshop, The quality of the plasma cutter so far appears to be really good and I?m sure will better benefit us beyond our expectation?
  • 26 June 2021
    Quality very good.
  • 25 June 2021
    only used once so far on a small job worked fine as expected I would recommend to any one I know needing a plasma cutter quality spot on
  • 21 June 2021
    Fantastic machine , fantastic price , fantastic machine
  • 04 June 2021
    Small fabrication work. Any one doing fabrication work. Very good.
  • 22 May 2021
    Useful machine good price
  • 21 May 2021
    Initial problem with fuse overheating sorted.
  • 11 May 2021
    Used for cutting steel profiles, so far very easy to use and makes easy work of 16mm plate! I'd recommend the product to anyone looking to learn and someone already experienced in plasma cutting. Was looking at second hand cutters on an online auction site and I am glad I opted to buy new from RTech.
  • 26 April 2021
    Great machine
  • 20 April 2021
    After a shaky start getting arc to strike, I achieved what I wanted to, do , I will have to practice more on different thicknesses of metal. . I will use it in DIY fabrication jobs, I would recommend it to DIY and trade users. I would give it 4 stars for quality so far
  • 31 March 2021
    Yet to install 30A supply but product looks great
  • 29 March 2021
    never used a plasma cutter before so first few cuts on thicker material were a bit messy but once you get the technique down it cuts through metal like a hot ** through butter
  • 26 March 2021
    Again great product
  • 19 March 2021
    Item as expected
  • 14 March 2021
    This plasma cutter well exceed my expectations with it being so affordable compared to some of the other brands I have used before, consumable lifespan is also greater than some of the other plasma cutters I?ve owned.
  • 04 March 2021
    Does the job well.
  • 01 February 2021
    Very good cutter, so much better than my old transformer cutter, therefore will get used more, particularly when it is so much more portable.
  • 01 February 2021
    I didn?t had a chance to try it yet, but I m confident of it because I have also other machines from R-tech, thank you
  • 28 January 2021
    works as described
  • 26 January 2021
    good quality, only tested my machine so far but all looks good, id definitely recommend based on my experience so far
  • 12 January 2021
    Great customer service Many thanks
  • 12 January 2021
    i use it for toolmaking & various 1off projects on a diy basis i would recommend to anyone who actually wants a product that does exactly what it says on the tin excellent product
  • 08 January 2021
    Brilliant
  • 07 January 2021
    I make sculptures as a hobby and needed a cutter that had a live ** as use it to cut recycled materials that are rusty and some are painted.I have only had the cutter 3 days so would not recommend it yet as I haven?t used it to its full capability. After a quick test the quality of the build seam good and I like the are pressure gauge on the front panel
  • 06 January 2021
    I am a traditionally trained blacksmith and wanted to broaden my capabilities and speed up production on sculptural and component parts.
  • 05 January 2021
    The quality of this product is very good
  • 21 December 2020
    So far so good
  • 15 December 2020
    Have only started using the machine but certainly feels well constructed and appears to be a quality item.
  • 04 December 2020
    Only just bought it but so far it's doing as it should
  • 21 November 2020
    First class service, robust machine any easy to see up and use
  • 17 November 2020
    Use it a fair bit to cut 5 mm steel which needs to be cut very cleanly as edge is polished works well
  • 10 November 2020
    we use it to cut metal steel plates anybody that needs to cut anything metal great quality
  • 06 November 2020
    What a piece of kit this is! You won?t be disappointed with the quality of the cut and it?s on par with the hypertherm I use! Well done R tech
  • 03 November 2020
    I've just upgraded to this cutter, having had the smaller unit for a couple of years. I use it for sheet metal cutting predominantly, the live arc makes it a lot easier with greasy metals and the stand off is a boon for using a guide. The unit is self is heavy duty and robust. I have a 250ltr compressor and I would suggest that you would struggle with anything less to get the pressure and air delivery required. My only gripe, hence 4 stars, and this is the same with all R-Tech machines, is that the power switch is on the back of the unit and not on the front or top. This drives me ** and I wish that they would sort it out. I would recommend this unit to anybody who does sheet metal work, just be careful not to cut the corner off of your welding bench, not that I would ever be so ** !
  • 01 November 2020
    Used to cut 10mm thick plate, like a ** through butter, highly recommended to anyone that wants to speed up cutting process dramatically. Seems very well built and good quality leads too
  • 19 October 2020
    I have mostly been cutting 10mm plate, although I have cut at it's maximum just to see if it did what it was supposed to do, and it did. I ran a *** cut through 10mm in less than a minute. Previously, this would have taken at least 10 minutes and 3 cutting discs. Anyone that needs to cut metal should seriously consider buying one of these machines. Quality appears to be good and on a par with most machines of this type. Earth cable , although adequate, could be more heavy duty considering the industrial environment the machine is intended for.
  • 12 October 2020
    brilliant machines
  • 07 October 2020
    only had it a few days but does what it says on the tin so all good
  • 29 September 2020
    Makes my old one look antique, and half the size 3 x the power LOL
  • 23 September 2020
    Just got for odd jobs. Early days to review
  • 21 August 2020
    I?d recommend each product to everyone who needs it and I?m using it to start my own business
  • 12 August 2020
    Its portable and powerful, only down side is the air pressure gauge is a bit loose
  • 23 July 2020
    Unbeatable quality for the price
  • 21 July 2020
    Cutting customised firebowls and spheres at: ww.wildfirebespoke.com ww.facebook.com/wildfirebespoke ww.instagram.com/wildfirebespoke Fellow metalwork artists and sculptures. Good reliable quality product.
  • 20 July 2020
    I ve used the Plasma cutter for sheet plate and am pleased with the result. For the price it seems pretty good. I haven't done a lot of work with it yet, time will tell.
  • 06 July 2020
    Makes most of my jobs a lot easier, good quality.
  • 06 July 2020
    All good
  • 06 July 2020
    Great quality product. It feels right, if you go to purchase a product and you get hands on, that's when see the difference with other brands. It will be used for general workshop use, went up a size, due to the small price difference.
  • 05 July 2020
    What a machine . Cutting with this is exactly as described, the machine is easily as good as some much more expensive ones
  • 27 May 2020
    As a welder fabricator its used on a variety of jobs rather than using oxy / propane torch Will recommend to others in my trade Good build quality all round
  • 20 May 2020
    Still in the box as yet haven't used it Opened the box to check it looks ok to me. 1 week in and still in the box lol
  • 15 May 2020
    So far used for cutting 3mm sheet steel..Works perfectly.
  • 14 May 2020
    home workshop. other home users. good quality.
  • 11 May 2020
    Not sure yet, it hasn?t worked properly yet, have some new parts sent through under warranty. We shall see
  • 07 May 2020
    I resale and always recommend your plasmas and tig welders, they are good quality and you have an excellent back up service.
  • 03 May 2020
    Fantastic bit of kit, top quality.
  • 28 April 2020
    Good quality machine Highly recommended
  • 22 April 2020
    well made
  • 22 April 2020
    I had only used a plasma cutter once, before buying this. I got on with it instantly and I found it to be a brilliant piece of kit.
  • 21 April 2020
    I am using the cutter for various DIY projects and was particulary impressed by the ability to clean cut substantial thicknesses of stainless steel along with other metals. I would certainly ecommend to family and friends. This is a high quality, robust product which I am very impressed with
  • 08 April 2020
    Product looks very good quality
  • 03 April 2020
    Quality is fantastic this is my 2nd one in a few months. As was so pleased I gave smaller plasma to my son and I bought the larger one
  • 24 March 2020
    General small workshop repairs/fabrication, would recommend to any plant/agri business who do own repairs or mobile engineers etc. Product seems robust and torch etc of solid build.
  • 13 March 2020
    Use for my garage business
  • 29 February 2020
    Machine very good, easy to use and set up, worth every penny
  • 25 February 2020
    Use in personal setting doesn?t seem to be any issues I think it would be equally at home whether in personal or workshop setting seems to be quality build to a high standard
  • 24 February 2020
    We used the cutter to remove bolts on an agricultural machine, the difference between grinding or burning gear was like night and day, wish we had bought one years ago. Quality of the product is definitely 5 stars and would recommend the product and company to anyone who is thinking of purchasing a plasma cutter for whatever job, reason or addition to their workshop.
  • 15 January 2020
    have recommended to a fabricator working in one of our workshops
  • 03 January 2020
    not opened the box yet
  • 31 December 2019
    Very powerful plasma cutter.
  • 30 December 2019
    Seems to be a well built,top quality product. Haven't used it to it'sfull potential yet but after a brief play,it does what it is meant with ease.
  • 16 December 2019
    Good product
  • 11 December 2019
    Hi this is my first time using a plasma cutter, so I've got a lot to learn yet. I've already done a couple of little projects which I would not be able to do without, reason I bought this particular model was the versatility of it being able to cut thicker material which I may not even use to it's full potential but I always like to have peace of mind if you ever need to, the quality of the product is very well made it's smaller than I thought and not very heavy to move around , it has a very long cable for the torch and comes with a lot of extra consumables, I would recommend this to anyone who is in the market of buying a plasma cutter for his portability and thickness of cut, and most of all peace of mind with a 3-year warranty and friendly helpful stuff its important to support family businesses as they support you to keep them going for the future👍👍 happy New year kind regards.mr ***

    Item looks good out of the box, with plenty of spares. Have not really had a chance to test it fully yet. (I've only had it a couple of days!)
  • 13 September 2019
    Looks OK but as yet not used
  • 12 September 2019
    Used to cut mild steel and galvanized steel sheets up to 20mm thickness. Also cut box section for general fabrication. All fabrication and engineering companies or individuals. R tech produce fantastic quality equipment that works straight out of the box and is hassle free.
  • 04 September 2019
    Haven?t yet cut anything thicker than 6mm steel and some 4mm aluminium but I?m very pleased so far. Machine is simple to use and I was quickly up and cutting - everything, it took me a while to stop. First plasma cutter after years of sporadic and usually disappointing gas cutting and I?m a convert.
  • 02 September 2019
    Products are excellent. Mig is infinitely variable in every way. Top class engineering.
  • 18 August 2019
    Recommend for hobby use
  • 07 August 2019
    Great product and good value for money
  • 06 August 2019
    the product is used to remove wasted areas of vintage railway coaches .its great advantage is as there is no flame as such the *** danger is removed. this is probably not the average use for this plasma but it certainly fills our expectations completly
  • 02 August 2019
    EXCELLENT MACHINE
  • 02 August 2019
    Came packaged very well, seems like good enough quality for the price bracket, came with a bunch of spare tips etc what I still haven?t used. I really would recommend a 200l air compressor though, I find I always need my 200l compressor at least half full to keep the pressure up to cut. I don?t like the knob to control the amps, it works 100% just don?t like the feel of it, I?d rather have a knob that clicks (like every click is one amp) but this one just turns freely. Also the dense connector is really small and the cable is very thin too. It?s smaller than all my other earth leads, what means I have to use the one supplied. I like to use the same earth for every machine I have, but no big deal. Overall very good machine for the price, would recommend to anyone looking at getting a plasma on a budget. Definitely has made my fabrication work a lot easier and faster 💪🏼
  • 01 August 2019
    We use for cutting steel sections Top quality no complaints
  • 03 July 2019
    Unable to comment at the moment as im in the middle of building my new work shop .
  • 12 June 2019
    Does what it says on the tin. good quality build easy to use. Would recommend to professionals or home users
  • 06 June 2019
    This is the a first plasma for me , will be used for all my fabrication projects .wold recommend this item to anyone in the business, Good quality product.
  • 22 May 2019
    Top notch piece of equipment, excellent quality with a full set of ancillaries as stated in the description.
  • 04 May 2019
    Well build machine easy to use just add air Have only cut 6mm so far would recommend to anyone
  • 29 April 2019
    So far I have used the plasma cutter to *** a 10 mm bolt out of 20 mm plate and cut some 3mm aluminium, it preformed both tasks perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone carrying out similar work.A well built product.
  • 17 April 2019
    good
  • 09 April 2019
    Occasional use only.
  • 24 March 2019
    Good product.
  • 18 March 2019
    Great machine and well satisfied with the product and operation would highly recommend to anyone look one
  • 06 March 2019
    Great product easy to use only cut 10mm plate so far but done that easy
  • 12 February 2019
    I purchased the HF50 to use in the production of two stainless tanks in 2mm sheet along with pipe fittings..good the sheet metal fabricating.. too early to say how the long term service will be, apart from the problems with the tip retainer it is a lightwork torch with great flexibility..
  • 09 February 2019
    works great
  • 31 January 2019
    Great build quality, as I've come to expect from Rtech, and at a great price. I've not used it in anger yet but have tested it on all manner of metal samples and it is so efficient and easy to use. I am an amateur user so am careful what I spend my money on but I can say this was money well spent
  • 09 November 2018
    Came in the same package as the p50.
  • 04 November 2018
    Yet to use it Looks small compact and well made however.
  • 30 October 2018
    Very good quality and very keenly priced. Ideal for DIY and small workshop use.
  • 25 October 2018
    Fantastic build quality, I bought this based on other reviews and I?m over the moon with it.
  • 17 October 2018
    Great addition to the workshop. Professional quality tool and the cost is minimal. Great product support and 3yr warranty! Awesome!
  • 04 October 2018
    Very good quality, to be used for removing tubes from a steam traction engine, I would recommend this to anyone
  • 02 September 2018
    1) Repairing farm machinery, general fabrication and loader buckets. 2) I haven't recommended it anyone, but those that have watched in operation (mainly farmers) were very impressed. 3) It feels robust and operates in a robust manner, I trust it!
  • 02 September 2018
    Well built piece of kit. Seems very effective (been cutting up to 12mm plate so far). Comes with long torch leads, which is definitely handy. Highly recommend.
  • 31 August 2018
    just general cutting, I would recommend the product to anyone in the maintenance/fab.industry I know.the quality of the machine seems very good , time will tell just how good.
  • 24 August 2018
    Seems great. Not had much usage yet. One issure with the air supply quick release fitting. Was not compatable with my airline. Not normally a problem, and to be expected. However, the fitting supplied seem to have "bonded" into the filter. It took great deal of skill and effort to change without damage. It is unnecessary to "bond" this item to get a good airtight seal. There are many types of quick release fitting on the market, making it highly likely to need changing. Please make it easier to remove, so replacement is sensibility achieved.
  • 12 August 2018
    I use it to cut shapes for all kinds of things I make, from weathervanes to rocket stoves. I've already recommended it to a friend of mine. As for quality; it's what I expected for the price I paid, just like the AC/DC welder I bought.
  • 03 August 2018
    Will be used on a home-made CNC . On initial inspection looks better made and substantially heavier than my previous plasma cutter of same nominal amperage.
  • 31 July 2018
    Cutting metal We build boats but anyone who needs to cut metal. great quality, much improved on our last one.
  • 19 July 2018
    I do Metal fabrication job and normally circle cut and this machine perfect for it, and also come with circle cutting kits. Yes I recommend R-Tech products. Good quality and reliable.
  • 13 July 2018
    as it was intended, cutting mild steel plate.... any body how has a few bits of steel to cut........ so far the plasma cutter seems to be tophole.
  • 01 July 2018
    I am new to plasma cutting , learning by my mistakes. Machine is used to repair or make attachments for my wheeled excavator. The person how owns the workshop I use ,could be interested. So far so good , ask the same question in a years time !
  • 26 May 2018
    Not used it that much, but so far so good. All the part seem to be a good quality..
  • 30 April 2018

  • 22 April 2018
    mig 250 and the 50hf plasma cutter are in daily use i fabricate bbq`s and fire pits and i find both machines more than adequate id recommend R-tech to anyone looking to buy a welder or fabricating equipment and the build quality is good and sturdy
  • 10 April 2018
    What a piece of kit Quality ar a great price
  • 03 April 2018
    strong unit and ideal for anyone cutting sheet steel or general metal fabrication. well worth its money.

    I use it, occasionally, but mostly working with heavy steel. Very happy with the product quality, and how it handl my jobs.
  • 18 March 2018
    Plasma cutter used for fabrication - dream to use. Would strongly recommend even to beginners. Superb quality.
  • 15 March 2018
    very good
  • 14 March 2018
    Excellent product, easily cuts 18mm clean and 24mm severance. Excellent value for money
  • 14 March 2018
    While I bought this for DIY use it does get used, had a smaller plasma cutter but was starting to work with thicker material (18mm steel) and needed something that would do this. The R-Tech Plasma Cutter feels well made, its certainly no lightweight and performs very well
  • 13 March 2018
    This plasma cutter will be very handy in my welding shop, The machine seems very well constructed.
  • 12 March 2018

  • 30 January 2018
    I'm using it to make curved cuts in flooring metal decking. May be worth making clear the airline size/type- luckily I bought spares.
  • 17 December 2017

  • 09 August 2016
    I have cut some 22mm steel plate, I just need to refine my technique before trying 24mm plate. The machine appears well built with quality components, is easy to use with excellent instructions. I'm looking forward many years of reliable service from this product.
  • 29 July 2016
    Excellent plasma cutter very powerful, Friendly and helpful customer advice if required. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.
  • 26 July 2016

    happy with the product good machine
  • 08 July 2015
    I ordered a Plasma Cutter 50 amp and received it the following day, I have to say that the service that you provide was second to none, and it was packed perfectly. Great little machine and I will be recommending you to any of my friends. Many thanks William Southgate (Cornwall)
  • 21 March 2015
    Fantastic machine. covers all our needs easily and upped production immensely. We are very happy with this product
  • 01 February 2015
    Second machine purchase now from these guys and service is second to none ! Purchased one of these machines as acetylene gas rental was a killer, and we have cut more with this Plasma now than we had with gas !! Great fast & efficient tool ! Should have bought one years ago !! We use this on chassis repairs (2-3mm plt) to (20mm plt) general steel plate used around some agricultural machines. Simple to use even our new apprentice has got the hang of it !! Even the consumables are good value for money ! We had the lend of a competitors machine from a friend, but his consumables were very expensive, and not easy to use, He was looking to swap with our new R-tech ! The R-tech cuts better and faster than the other machine. So My advice is Take the Plunge buy the machine & use the Pay4 later 0% finance, save tax and make money with a very useful tool !
  • 18 September 2014
    hi, just thought id drop you a line to express my gratitude for the recent dealings I have had with r-tech staff and equipment, although I have had dealings with other industrial equipment suppliers I have never dealt with a firm who have such a passion for the equipment they supply and the customer care they provide, it is in a word faultless, whilst I am a very small consumer of plasma cutters, welders and such every care was taken to make sure I was 100% happy in every aspect.to everyone at r-tech I wish to express my thanks for everything that was done for me. many thanks. gavin dunn.
  • 23 July 2014
    After many months of looking and checking I was given R-Tech details, after speaking to the sales team who were very helpful and knowledgeable I ordered 50HFplasma cutter and a mig250 welder. The delivery was spot on and the equipment as stated, will write another review when used the equipment for a bit longer
  • 02 July 2014
    I bought this plasma cutter as part of my escape plan-Escape from the tyranny that is ***. I took all my bottles back, replaced the argon with a rent free bottle and bought a plasma cutter. I had seen demonstrations of Plasma cutters at farm shows and so it was already on my wish list, but the price was always a deterrent. When I found R-tech Welding on the web, I was immediately impressed by their website and their favorable reviews, but I was a bit unsure because their prices seemed a bit too good to be true. So I phoned them up, and you could not ask for nicer people to talk to. Their description of the product (UK assembled from quality components) and their belief in it, with a long warantee. I am still on a learning curve but it seems a good machine and it's build quality looks excellent. I have not cut 18mm successfully yet but rusty 16.5mm cut OK
  • 18 March 2014
    I bought the P50HF for a home-built CNC table, initially I had problems but technical support here is first class and the fault diagnosed as the machine torch, a new one was rapidly sent out and instantly fixed my issues. I really cant praise the help available from R-Tech enough, totally first class. The machine is happily cutting steel now and giving excellent results so far.
  • 07 February 2014
    1st class service; product exactly as described
  • 17 February 2013
    Great service plasma arrived within 24hrs with excellent shipping costs bought as shop soiled but cant see where A1 condition and service have posted you on our Forum wont hesitate to recommend of use you again
  • 31 January 2013
    Have used my P40HF with great results but was disappointed when I got it out of the box to find it was not operating correctly, the original supplier was not forthcoming with any assistance, except the phone no for R-Tech which I promptly phoned. The service I received was second to none - even though my warranty was out by several months they replaced the torch head FOC, this did not rectify the problem so they arranged a pickup for me then promptly repaired the machine and returned it 48 hrs later; a nominal charge was made as agreed and a warranty of 3 months. I am delighted with the service I received from all the staff especially ***, and ***. Thanks for an outstanding service
  • 07 January 2013
    I can't imagine how I have survived without this plasma cutter, it is everything you claim and a fantastic and simple piece of kit; welcome to the days of cutting metal like a hot knife through butter. Internet purchases rarely live up to claims made, what a fantastic exception your company is. Thank you for your excellent sales, service and advice and more importantly for an excellent product. I am happy for you to use my name as a contact if you have any one thinking of buying this product who wants to speak to a third party user
  • 04 November 2012
    Absolutely impressed by everything about this company. Delivered on time and any queries I had were dealt with efficiently. Nothing was too much trouble for the support staff. Excellent quality and design. Two year guarantee emphasises their commitment to quality
  • 26 June 2012
    If you think you know of better service - try this! Purchased P40 Plasma cutter in Dec 2008, left it in box until Nov 2011, operate for a few months and then stops cutting with arcing smell from inside case. Return unit for repair in spring of 2012. Unit comes back to me with new PCB, water removed (oops) and new tip. And the punch line - no charge!!! Beat that !!!
  • 24 May 2012
    Many thanks for your fast turnaround service; my plasma cutter was returned before I expected it to be and for picking it up when you said you would
  • 22 May 2012
    This is my second major equipment purchase from R-Tech my first being a TIG251. Though being a piece of ex-demo equipment, it was in perfect condition and a complete bargain. Works like a dream, much better than a gas axe! This really is trade equipment at bargain basement prices! Don't let the prices fool you, this is not DIY equipment at all, I have regretted going down the DIY route to save a bit of money in the past and now have a policy of buying only quality trade equipment; In my opinion, the R-Tech brand is completely in line with this policy!!
  • 14 March 2011
    Great Service. Ordered plasma cutter one day, it arrived the next and was immediately put to work. It performs excellently. We are very pleased. Thank you
  • 08 March 2011
    I have never dealt with R-Tech Welding before but after reading several good reports I decided to contact them and we spent ages talking about my requirements and suitability before purchasing their P40HF plasma cutter and 160A AC/DC TIG welder. Unfortunately both arrived damaged due to the carrier mishandling them but as soon as I explained the problem to R-Tech they offered a replacement for next day delivery. Rather than risk another courier accident I decided to return the damaged items to R-Tech and see my replacements working before bringing them home. I got the full VIP treatment and a crash course on their Plasma cutter and TIG welder from the CEO Rob White. It?s clear from the moment you enter their premises that you?re dealing with a bright and intelligent bunch of dedicated technicians who are proud of their history and good service. I?ve got over 45 years experience in fabrication and manufacturing and it?s highly reassuring to find a company that can still find the time and energy to look after their customers

  • What is included with the R-Tech Plasma Machine?

    All of our machines include everything to get you welding as quickly as possible, at no additional cost. All you need to do is add your air supply to get going.

  • Will this machine cut Aluminium?

    Yes, all R-tech Plasma machines will cut aluminium. It is worth noting that the maximum cut will be reduced to around half when cutting aluminium. 

  • Do I need a separate water/moisture trap to use an R-Tech Plasma Cutter. 

    All of our machines are fitted with air filters and should not require any additional filtertration to be required. All of our filters are easily accessible and fitted with a moisture trap, this can simply be emptied by pushing the button located at the bottom of the filter.
