Amazon Cutmaster 60i

No it was melted off, you can't break off copper like that it bends. Try it with one of yours.

Well..... if you're using the chinese import knockoffs of dubious alloys then it might break with mere finger pressure...

Yea, your right there, you never know what it may be made of.

Just picked it up. Repaired under warranty. Said the pilot IBGT was bad.

Question for anyone: What's the story with the 60iX model...seems like only Baker's Gas carries it. Is there a plan to release it to wider distribution like Amazon, welding supplies from IOC, Cyberweld, etc?

[soutthpaw]

Oh tested it and no fault codes and it seemed to cut better without fouling the nozzle/tip. Infancy failure new thinks. Hopefully it will be good to go now.

The China made 42 had a bad batch of boards that effected quite a few of the Green ones.. Seemed like close to the same issue. No pilot arc...Yep got lucky and got one.. All my 60i have been flawless so far.. You were fighting codes from the beginning with that unit..

[soutthpaw]

Well I've used it a few times since the repair and all seems to be working as it should without any error codes. Much improved cut quality too

Nice so now that it works as it should what is your impression of the machine. Worth the entry free you paid?

Biggest F'ing POS I ever bought. getting Error code 04, 05 with my gouging gun, 12, 14, 16 done all new consumables. This thing is going back to LWS tomorrow to be sent in again. Anyone want to buy this with probably less than 2 hours cutting time. Gawd I miss my old ESAB. thing was bullet proof compared to this POS

So my 60i just popped. I pulled the trigger and got no arc, then a loud pop and that smell ......... error code E002. I called my LWS and they said that it has to go back to original vendor so I called Amazon and some guy I could barely understand allegedly has a replacement coming to me. I then got an email confirming a replacement was coming but that they couldn’t say when as they needed to get on in from thermal arc. I can fell an run around coming........

Dont jump the gun. Call ESAB for customer service support.

If it's under warranty that complete BS. Call ESAB. I bought mine on Amazon and had it repaired 2x at local LWS under warranty.

So I took your advise and called Esab customer service,took it to my LWS who sent it to their repair center. Turns out it was a blown inverter board, repaired under warranty and back to me in 2 weeks working fine now.

I’m wondering why ? It’s only 2 years old and it’s been used a fair amount but not excessively and not abused. Always used OEM consumables, anyone else have a similar problem?
