Hello and welcome to the forum. Have you tried looking at Google for welding supplies? Plasma cutters are usually separate from welders, I've never seen an all in one unit. I know Harbor Freight has inexpensive units but I've been warned against buying them. Good luck.

Yeah I don't know if I would want a welder from Harbor Freights. I have bought lots of stuff from them, such as 1/2" drills, dremels, and impact guns. Simple stuff like that are fine and you cannot beat the prices! Their hand tools are pretty crappy though. Some stuff like allen head sockets I only buy Snap On.

Thanks a lot but i have decided to go with a company by the name of longevity which was very reasonable with me on my purchase on my welder/plasma cutter all in one unit, they also have a 5 year warranty which is the best in the business so i am attaching a link for you to view my unit so be sure to let me know what you think about it
