Witness how we built a versatile cutting machine that combines the power of a plasma cutter and a circle track, allowing me to make precise cuts on metal with both plasma and gas burners. To ...

Gas or air supply Along with your plasma cutter, you’ll also need a gas or air supply. Traditionally pro shops would use argon, nitrogen or oxygen (the latter being potentially dangerous).

Like the welding process, plasma cutters use pressurized gas (such as compressed air) and electricity from an electrode to create a plasma stream that's approximately 30,000-degrees F moving at ...

Stick welders have become a commodity and even some that use shield gas are cheap if you don’t count buying the bottle of gas. But plasma cutters are still a bit pricey.

Cutting steel can be easier than you think, especially when using a 12V car wiper motor to create an automatic plasma cutting track. In this video, watch as a simple motorized setup turns a ...

Here's what plasma cutting feels like and how it works. Plasma cutting is an alternative to using an angle grinder, hacksaw, or acetylene torch.

CNC plasma works differently than a typical welding torch – a jet of compressed air (inert gas) is used and a high voltage charge is applied. Once the gas is ionized, and a “very high” temperature is ...

Affordable plasma cutters are becoming a popular step up from an angle grinder for cutting sheet metal in the home workshop, but cutting long straight lines can be laborious and less than accurate.… ...
