Deciding between two used CNC plasma tables can stall a metal shop. In the laser plasma waterjet cutting space, the choice often comes down to how much table you need and what you can spend. The Wright 5x5 package with a Victor Thermal Dynamics A-80 plasma cutter is listed at USD 6,500, while the Koike Aronson CNC Plasma Cutter-II-510 on a 5' x 10' table is listed at USD 11,442.50. That gap is about $4,943.
Quick verdict
If you want a complete package that includes an 80-amp plasma cutter, a water table, and a 5x5 cutting area, the Wright setup is the practical pick. If your work regularly needs the extra length of a 5x10 table, the Koike Aronson system is the one to budget for.

Where each product wins
The Wright package wins on value for a smaller shop. It pairs a 5x5 water table with an 80-amp Victor Thermal Dynamics cutter, and the torch height control helps keep cuts consistent. The lower listed price leaves more budget for material, tooling, or software.
The Koike Aronson wins when cutting area is the priority. The 5x10 table provides double the length of the 5x5, making it a better fit for long plates and larger sheet layouts. The model number Cutter-II-510 and the 2005 manufacture date give you specific identifiers for this used system.
Product notes
Wright 5x5 CNC Plasma Table with Victor Thermal Dynamics A-80
The Wright package is one of the more complete used setups in this comparison. You get the 5x5 water table, the controller and cabling, and the Victor Thermal Dynamics A-80 Cutmaster in one package. The 80-amp output is strong enough for steel up to 1 inch thick, and the torch height control is a real plus for consistent edge quality. Where it falls short is capacity: a 5x5 work area means long material has to be repositioned or pre-cut. If your typical parts fit inside that footprint, the lower price makes this an easy choice.
Koike Aronson CNC Plasma Cutter-II-510
The Koike Aronson Cutter-II-510 is the larger of the two systems, with a 5x10 table that suits shops cutting long plate or larger layouts. The model number and 2005 manufacture year give you concrete specs to identify the machine. The tradeoff is the entry cost. The higher listed price takes up a bigger share of an equipment budget, so it makes sense when the 10-foot capacity directly supports your work.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Wright 5x5 with Victor Thermal Dynamics A-80 when you want a ready-to-run package, a compact footprint, and a lower purchase price. Choose the Koike Aronson Cutter-II-510 when you need 10 feet of cutting capacity and are ready to invest in the larger table.
