I have the Miller Plasma Torch you were looking at. I have not had it that long, only two months, but it has done just as well as the ESAB units we had at work. Just remember it is made for 1/4 to 3/8 inch material. Mine works very well in 1/4 Stainless Plate. For me the real advantage of the Miller over other machines is I have 2 Miller dealers in the loacal area.

On the air compressor, personally I stay away from Sears on anything. I have an Ingersol Rand two stage that I have had for 20 years. This spring I had the 1st repair bill. I had to replace the drive pulley (the keyway set screw worked loose and the key rolled in the keyway enlarging it). The other 19 years have been a 1 quart oil change every year and drain the tank at the begining of every work day. My neighbor is on his 3rd Sears Craftsman compressor in the same 20 years.
