Product type
A portable plasma cutter is a versatile tool used for cutting metal materials with precision and speed. It operates by generating a high-temperature plasma arc that melts the metal while a jet of compressed air blows the molten material away, resulting in a clean cut. These machines are typically made from durable materials like steel and aluminum to withstand industrial environments and frequent use.
| Cutting thickness | Up to 1 inch for mild steel |
| Input power | 120V to 240V |
| Weight | 20 to 50 lbs |
| Duty cycle | 60% to 100% |
| Air pressure | 60 to 100 PSI |
When selecting a portable plasma cutter, consider the maximum cutting thickness and the material types you will be working with. It's important to specify the input power requirements based on your available electrical supply. Additionally, check for features such as duty cycle and portability options. Certifications and safety features should also be taken into account, especially for industrial applications.
