Unboxing and testing the new 2023 Bestarc BTC500DP 3gen pilot arc plasma cutter. #Bestarc
I got to test another plasma cutter today and it was the Bestarc BTC500DP 3 gen machine. This is a high frequency pilot arc machine which performed awesome. I was able to cut thin sheet metal up to 1 inch rebar.
I also used the BestArc BTC500dp to cut 1/8 aluminum and stainless steel. I did a lot of cuts to show how it performed on the materials I had on hand.
The unboxing and review were short and most of the video was focused on performance, hope you enjoyed the video.
