Welcome aboard Donny, you did not say if this is a hobby of workplace that you are looking for to use it in. First off the you need to have a blow back type ignition for the torch when using it on a CNC table, due to noise. I would say you should look at spending more than $500, over $1000 would be better. No multi purpose type as some on your list, and yes for a 220 volt unit. Best would be a Hypertherm but that is outside your budget, it is better to buy once and be happy, in place of cheap and need to replace again.
