Thermal Dynamics 1Torch (SL60)?

[wintermute]

Wondering if anyone has used one of these and what they think of it. I'm thinking of replacing my PT-27 with one, but I wanted some opinions before spending $350 on one.

Also, are there any other torches that people like more than others?

I thought about buying one, it sounded good in the brochure.
When I asked around I heard sort of negative feedback.

I ended up buying a PCH-102 (I believe that's the model, I'd have to look at it to be positive) it has been trouble free.

I searched out this old thread:

Three years. Time flies, huh? The torch has held up well.

Good Luck

Thanks Denrep

Does anyone have any ideas then of which torches would be best? I'm running an ESAB PCM-875 (Max output is 80amps).

Thanks in advance.

that particular torch came on my cutmaster 52, I find it a dramatic improvement to the ice 25 c torch that was on my miller cutmate machine, which had a thumb trigger. just my 2 cents worth.
