My 1/2 HP air compressor couldn't keep up with a 30A plasma cutter.

Yep, it should be enough. I don't even turn on my newer 60 gal one for small
jobs like sandblasting rust spots, the air in the tank is plenty.
Double up on the air tanks if your little compressor can't keep up.
That said, plasma cutting is pretty quick, and you may not need it
unless you're cutting 100' of 3/4 plate.

I'm late here, but heard that the Lotos brand was a step above most
imports. 50A $409 vs $259 for others on Amazon.

Here in NY, I'd rather actually own a pickup with a compressor like a CFM and a 3000 watt generator between the cab and tilt bed. That would be real good right now.
