Yeah, I'm still alive.... I was involved in a small accident a while ago, and am still dealing with the healing process, so I haven't been in the shop much, and haven't worked at my full time job in almost 2 years.

On the plus side... I've gotten fatter... so I've got that goin' for me.

Is it just me or do the knock off consumsbles seem to go away quicker than the name brand parts? I bought some from ebay not knowing until later that they were knock offs. All the while thinking that my machine was eating parts. I went back and researched the order and found out they were from China. Maybe its just me. I'm still new to cnc plasma so who knows. They sure were cheaper,abour 1/2 of retail price.
