Cyberweld
® is pleased to carry a quality lineup of discounted plasma cutters from Miller
®, Hobart
® Thermal Dynamics
® and Lincoln Electric
®. The plasma cutting process uses a stream of ionized gas to cut through all types of ferrous (iron-based) and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel and aluminum.
Plasma cutters offer much faster cut speeds than oxy/fuel cutting and can go anywhere electric power is available.
Frequently Asked Questions about Plasma Cutters
What is plasma cutting?
Plasma cutting uses a stream of ionized gas to slice through electrically conductive metals like steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. It’s faster and cleaner than oxy/fuel cutting.
What materials can I cut with a plasma cutter?
Plasma cutters can cut ferrous and non-ferrous metals including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass.
Do plasma cutters require a gas supply?
Yes. Most plasma cutters use compressed air, though some industrial models may use nitrogen or oxygen depending on the application.
Can I use a plasma cutter at home?
Yes. Many models operate on 120V or dual-voltage input, making them suitable for home garages and small workshops.
What brands of plasma cutters are available?
Cyberweld offers plasma cutters from Miller®, Hypertherm®, Hobart®, Lincoln®, and Thermal Dynamics®, with options for hobbyists and professionals.
Are there any rebates or free accessories?
Yes! Cyberweld features instant savings, free consumables kits, and rebates like Hypertherm’s gift card offer and Miller’s Build With Blue™ promotion.
How thick can plasma cutters cut?
Cutting capacity varies by model. Entry-level units cut up to 1/4", while industrial models like the Powermax85 SYNC® can cut up to 1" thick mild steel.
Do plasma cutters need a compressor?
Some models, like the Lincoln Tomahawk 30 AIR, include built-in air compressors. Others require an external air source with adequate PSI and CFM ratings.
Are plasma cutters portable?
Yes. Many units are compact and lightweight, with carrying handles or shoulder straps. Dual-voltage models add flexibility for field use.
How do I maintain a plasma cutter?
Maintenance includes cleaning the torch, replacing consumables, checking air filters, and inspecting cables. Proper care ensures consistent performance and longer life.
