Part of the air ride upgrade will require trimming the upper control arm. This will provide additional clearance for the bag bellows to expand outwards when the laid out completely.

As it turns out the Slam Specialties E6 Series doesn’t expand outwards as much others manufacturers. These bags are designed to expand vertically and more efficiently using less air volume to travel the full height.

Back to the MatCo Plasma Cutter, it run off of 120VAC as well as 220VAC. The difference between the two is night and day so I ended up having another 220VAC circuit pulled from the breaker panel.

The MatCo 48 LCD is a small unit that can cut metal like butter. The reason I purchased was to be able to make cuts that were not always straight with 90 degree corners. I needed to get into an area that was a tight fit and not much room for myself to maneuver.

Another note to mention, there is no onboard compressor. You will need to provide a capable compressor with the required CFM ratings. I have a large 80 gallon compressor so that is not an issue.

The torch uses a variety of consumables for the element, tip, diffuser ring etc. I need to find a source other than a MatCo distributor.

One downside is the lack of information for this particular model. There are online manuals covering the non LCD version but that means you don’t get the functionality of the color screen capabilities.
