If you can find it, a used hypertherm power max 600 would be a good bet. They were most popular model they made, most produced by far, and are still supported even though mine is 20 years old. Good for like 1/2” and are conservatively rated. Boards have a lot of discrete components so finding outdated IC’s is not an issue. The Chicom and India versions are throwaways, they break, they get tossed.I have a hypertherm plasma cutter and I’ve used it only a little I find the low priced cutters work with no issues but long term hard to beat hypertherm or in my case I have a 38 year old miller tig machine I bought used 15 years ago and internals are really solid. If you can look for a better used machine.
