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.

Plasma cutting is done by sending an electric arc through a surrounding gas that is passed through a constricted opening. This increases the temperature of the gas where it reaches a fourth state ...

These plasma cutters employed oxygen as the cutting gas and water injection for constriction. The cutting speeds were better than those of air plasma cutters with clean cuts, lower edge taper, and ...

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.
