I too have a TD pak 50 and have been using it for 3++ years.  Only negative
comment (this was discussed a couple of months ago here) is the cost of the
tips and electordes ($20 a set and I tend to go thur sets pretty fast).
Comments about the effect of undry air, vs bottled gas.  I have not heard
of a Estab 750i (sort of sounds like a german brand of high priced
cars???).  I really do like the plasma cutters..................

I have a fiend that gave me some parts numbers to some different 
consumables for the PAK 50. They are supposed to last twice as 
long,I've got them at the shop- I'll post them to you tonight. Dry air 
will do more to extend the life of your consumables than anything.
