which torch should I buy?

[remrendes]

Hi guys!
I need to buy a torch for a RAZOR CUT 80, but I'm a little bit confused about a brands. I have spoke with the manufacturer, the original one is a SCM80R-100-CC3, but I'm not sure it is the best one. I have seen many Hypertherm "copy" on the market, usually called STM-120. Which is a good brand? Does anybody tried Thermacut? Alfain? Tecmo? BLM?
TIA.

I would not buy a torch that is rated higher them what you are going to use (amps rating). Using a 80 amp nozzle to cut thin metal looks gross.
I have a Hypertherm 65 and have 3 nozzle sizes (fine cut, 45 amp and 65 amp), have cut 18 Ga metal up to 1/2"

Is is Hypertherm "compatible". Which means from 40A-100A should be OK. It has 45-65-85A nozzle.

Looks similar but I cannot say as no knowledge of that torch or how well it will work. Some here had complained about fake hypertherm parts.
