Hobart AirForce™ 500i plasma cutter cuts up to 5/8 inch mild steel.

With the MVP plug and lightweight inverter power supply make this plasma cutter the most convenient, portable cutting system available with larger cutting capacity. The AirForce™ 500i excels at cutting sheet metal and 3/8 inch mild steel, and can even sever 5/8 inch steel.

    Hobart 500i plasma cutter
    March 27, 2013
    The order process through cyberweld was easy and it came on time. It is a very compact unit. I have only cut a few pieces so far but 14ga SS was no problem. The only issues is the safety latch on the handle takes a little getting used to and the stand off ring falls off easy.
    Pros:
    Cost Compact size
    Cons:
    saftey switch on handle stand off wire ring

    Nice toy!

    I made use of this thing the moment I got it. I can't picture how I would have cut up a 4'x4' piece of 14-gauge steel by hand. This thing sliced it up like butter. There's zero learning curve. Already owning a Handler 187 MIG and an EZ-TIG 165, I was surprised at how small and light this unit is. Cute, even! That, along with the dual-voltage option, makes it a joy to carry around. Plus the power cord and wand cord are each 10 feet long, so this thing is very mobile.
    Pros:
    Small, light, powerful, easy to use.
    Cons:
    Nothing so far with the performance. I haven't tried it at its maximum rating yet, but it's been great on everything else so far. Cord management is challenging, but this has nothing to do with the unit itself.

    I like it
    June 6, 2012
    The cutter came without the 110v adapter and wrong manual. An email to Cyberweld got action from the manufacturer (Miller) in 36 hours. Adapter showed up in five days, manual in ten. Only used it for about four days so far and only on steel, but it's doing everything I want with ease. Takes a little skill, but my first cut was near-perfect. A call to the manufacturer warned about using the 110v plug saying it will draw 27amps, much more than regular 20 amp breakers, so haven't even tried the 110v option. Perhaps that's why they didn't ship the adapter in the first place?? Only tried on 1/4 inch to date, but suspect 3/8 will be OK, just pretty slow. Without the shipping errors and the apparent 110v misinformation, would have given it five stars.

    DOES THIS UNIT HAVE AN ONBOARD AIR COMPRESSOR ?
    By Customer Service on July 25, 2012

    Answer:
    The AirForce 500i does not have a built-in compressor. The AirForce 250Ci or Miller Spectrum 125C do come with built-in compressors but are only rated to cut 3/16" material.

    By Bill from Nixa, MO on November 28, 2012
    Does this unit have Pilot Arc capability?
    By Customer Service on November 29, 2012

    Answer:
    The Hobart AirForce 500i Plasma Cutter 500548 does use a pilot arc or contact start .. It does not use high frequency
