I dont know where you live but here in Japan laser is the way!
The Daihen you told was released in 1988...the last model is from 2000 (compact we have one to cut at field stainless) the annual report from Daihen they at R&D power from wireless, all japanese companies you can check and see no one devenlop plasma anymore, the japanese patents in this field expired they don’t care, better Hypertherm ir the other companie you guys use, japanese stuff is waste of money.
Dude, keep using your stuff from China and be happy whatever you think is fine for you if you are happy!
Taiwan and China maybe you dont know are different...
I brought recently LM guide from HIWINbut chinese sealler (nice guy) ok. I for forgot to buy some blocks and i brought the rest here in Japan from Misumi, same brand but different quality, the chinese stuff dont have line mark and all blocks doesn’t numbered in serie from Misumi HIWIN follow JIS, i think when we buy from china we get low quality...ballscrew japanese i can let it in vertical position and the nut slow down byself expensive but quality. Meanwell power supply i got from china bad one cant get 48 just 43 lol im using Cosel now and many other things....
