R-Tech P50HF Plasma Cutter 240V (24mm Cutting Kit)

Excellent

I use this product in agriculture so wide range of use I also got a tig welder 3 years ago from this company witch is brilliant

Good quality, does as it says.

Exchanged this for the smaller plasma cutter. Great product and easy to use. Added bonus he stays in the garage longer 😂😂

Seems a good piece off kit so far, have cut some 15mm plate and is a ver clean cut👍

Used to cut mild steel upto 3mm. I wouldn't recommend anyone buying this

Good quality Value for money

Great bit of kit

Hobby Anyone needing a semi professional kit Very good

Internet

Brilliant machine for the price can’t be faulted

very operator friendly

Used for dismantling steel barn frame Much quicker and quieter than a circular saw

Does as it says on the tin

Excellent service would recommend

Good product at a good price

All good kit.

work friends

Good Quality and easy to use

Used in commercial fabrication shop and the product has been faultless so far. First job was profiling some heavy PFC sections which it handled with ease. Very pleased with the purchase and would recommend highly to others.

Very pleased with the plasma cutter

In our workshop Similar trades Good

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!

I’ve been looking forward to getting one of these and I’m not disappointed

Professionally Everyone Very good quality

occasional use already have the smaller one but this is more versatile, product is well made

Simple to use, great for light to medium fabrication work upto 25mm thick.

Well built.

I would recommend product to friends. The quality of product was good.

Cutting 10mm and 12mm mild steel plate on 45amps and 65psi approx for fabrication work. Would recommend this plasm cutter to the hobby user and the professional. Quality is good from the packaging, to the guidance notes and the product itself.

For cutting up scrap machinery on farm Recommended as replacement for gas Great quality and service

Great piece of kit very pleased with it so far

Good quality I'd recommend to anyone looking for this type of product I use my rtech products for heavy DIY use

Seems ok so far

On initial setting up and trial all seems to be good not used it yet on anything major to rate it fully

Personal hobbies use, anyone and everyone, top quality.

So far I’ve used the plasma to cut 2mm & 4mm stainless steel, once I got the air pressure correct, my cuts were excellent, i would definitely recommend this product to other potential buyers

Very good

Great piece of kit, good quality product and would have no problem in recmmending to work friends.

Light compact and more powerful than you think

does exactly what we wanted it to do

product used for work as self employed multi trade builder The build quality seems to be good so far ,.

This is an excellent piece of kit, once you get used to it it's quite easy to use as never used one before but have done quite a bit with it now and wished I had one sooner. The product itself is very robust and right size for my size of garage.

Very good unit does exactly what they say it does

Had to return welder 2 times for warranty all working now 👍

Brilliant machine. Great value

would recommend to anyone

Excellent to use, easy to set up. Would definitely recommend up to now!

This cutter is easy to use and gives a good clean cut.

Good quality with 3 year warranty

Great simple to use product

EXCELLENT MACHINE .... recomend it to Anyone...

Good quality for the price

Haven’t used it yet but quality is top notch And will recommend to everyone as always.

Very good product. I wished I had purchased one sooner.

Used for general fabrication work in farm workshop. Reach for this machine now instead of the quickcut!! Very powerful machine. Impressed.

All equipment I’ve had has worked fantastically & I'm VERY CONFIDENT the p50 plasma will ** me away ✌🏻👨🏻‍🏭✌🏻

Excellent

Great value and does everything expected.

Very good quality

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.

not used yet but looks a great bit of kit

Works well, good clean cut

Great product

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.

This kit does exactly what it claims, great product.

Sorry but haven't used the machine yet

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

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…

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

Quality very good.

Fantastic machine , fantastic price , fantastic machine

Small fabrication work. Any one doing fabrication work. Very good.

Initial problem with fuse overheating sorted.

Useful machine good price

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.

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

Great machine

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.

Yet to install 30A supply but product looks great

Again great product

Item as expected

Does the job well.

Very good cutter, so much better than my old transformer cutter, therefore will get used more, particularly when it is so much more portable.

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

works as described

good quality, only tested my machine so far but all looks good, id definitely recommend based on my experience so far

I am a traditionally trained blacksmith and wanted to broaden my capabilities and speed up production on sculptural and component parts.

The quality of this product is very good

Great customer service Many thanks

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

Brilliant

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

Have only started using the machine but certainly feels well constructed and appears to be a quality item.

So far so good

Only just bought it but so far it's doing as it should

First class service, robust machine any easy to see up and use

Use it a fair bit to cut 5 mm steel which needs to be cut very cleanly as edge is polished works well

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

we use it to cut metal steel plates anybody that needs to cut anything metal great quality

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 ** !

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

brilliant machines

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.

Makes my old one look antique, and half the size 3 x the power LOL

only had it a few days but does what it says on the tin so all good

Just got for odd jobs. Early days to review

I’d recommend each product to everyone who needs it and I’m using it to start my own business

Its portable and powerful, only down side is the air pressure gauge is a bit loose

Unbeatable quality for the price

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.

All good

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.

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.

What a machine . Cutting with this is exactly as described, the machine is easily as good as some much more expensive ones

Makes most of my jobs a lot easier, good quality.

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

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

home workshop. other home users. good quality.

Not sure yet, it hasn’t worked properly yet, have some new parts sent through under warranty. We shall see

Good quality machine Highly recommended

So far used for cutting 3mm sheet steel..Works perfectly.

I resale and always recommend your plasmas and tig welders, they are good quality and you have an excellent back up service.

Fantastic bit of kit, top quality.

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

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.

well made

Product looks very good quality

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

The quality of product I have purchased have been good. They are good for anyone wishing to have decent tools and equipment at affordable price. Suitable for garages, workshops, schools etc

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.

Machine very good, easy to use and set up, worth every penny

have recommended to a fabricator working in one of our workshops

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.

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

Very powerful plasma cutter.

Good product

not opened the box yet

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.

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 ***

Personal use. Very good quality

Good

Nice plasma cutter, works a clean cut at 18mm mild steel

Great machine, so easy to use and very powerful. Top shelf quality too.

Fantastic piece of kit, very good value for the money.

as described

Really pleased so far, it does what it says.

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!)

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.

Looks OK but as yet not used

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.

Products are excellent. Mig is infinitely variable in every way. Top class engineering.

Recommend for hobby use

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

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 💪🏼

Great product and good value for money

EXCELLENT MACHINE

We use for cutting steel sections Top quality no complaints

Unable to comment at the moment as im in the middle of building my new work shop .

Does what it says on the tin. good quality build easy to use. Would recommend to professionals or home users

Top notch piece of equipment, excellent quality with a full set of ancillaries as stated in the description.

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.

Well build machine easy to use just add air Have only cut 6mm so far would recommend to anyone

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.

good

Occasional use only.

Good product.

Great machine and well satisfied with the product and operation would highly recommend to anyone look one

Great product easy to use only cut 10mm plate so far but done that easy

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..

works great

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

Very good quality and very keenly priced. Ideal for DIY and small workshop use.

Came in the same package as the p50.

Yet to use it Looks small compact and well made however.

Fantastic build quality, I bought this based on other reviews and I’m over the moon with it.

Great addition to the workshop. Professional quality tool and the cost is minimal. Great product support and 3yr warranty! Awesome!

Very good quality, to be used for removing tubes from a steam traction engine, I would recommend this to anyone

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cutting metal We build boats but anyone who needs to cut metal. great quality, much improved on our last one.

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.

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.

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.

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 !

Not used it that much, but so far so good. All the part seem to be a good quality..

....

great machine - well designed

Producto recomendado pero con suficiente kw contra dos en el contador de la luz

Looks great thanks quality

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

What a piece of kit Quality ar a great price

I use it, occasionally, but mostly working with heavy steel. Very happy with the product quality, and how it handl my jobs.

strong unit and ideal for anyone cutting sheet steel or general metal fabrication. well worth its money.

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

very good

All okay

Plasma cutter used for fabrication - dream to use. Would strongly recommend even to beginners. Superb quality.

This plasma cutter will be very handy in my welding shop, The machine seems very well constructed.

Excellent product, easily cuts 18mm clean and 24mm severance. Excellent value for money

Great piece of kit . Would recommend this to anyone working with metal. And again great service from R-tech

Very good machine very good quality

Excellent product

Seems to leak air a little despite tightening up.

Top Quality piece of kit from a top quality company. Excellent product as well as excellent customer service.

ample for our work

very happy with product

The only plasma cutter you’ll ever need. Simply awesome.

Excellent

I'm in the motor trade so always looking for reliability when buying tools. These welders were recommended to me. Will pass on recommendation to friends in the trade

excellent quality

Cracking bit of kit good warranty and 0 % finance.

Very easy to fit having a quick click connections similar to Wago.

I use this for hobby use but am sure it would be well received in the professional world and would recommend it to any one who was after a reliable machine.

Quality plug

First class product used the the classic car and rally car preparation business. More than capable of the workload thrown at it.

A must have item for your plasma cutting great visibility nice fit offers great protection without hindering the users movement and vision
