Plasma Cutting Explained: What to Consider Before You Invest

Getting the air supply, cutting capacity and portability right for your workshop is easier with some guidance up front, and that's the kind of buying question the team at tecproducts.co.uk are set up to help with.
Cutting capacity is usually described in terms of clean cut and maximum cut thickness, and the two are worth distinguishing. Clean cut is the thickness a machine handles with a good edge finish and reasonable speed, while maximum cut is the thickest material the machine will get through at all, usually slower and with a rougher edge. Buying with your typical material thickness in mind, rather than the thickest job you might occasionally face, generally gives a better day-to-day result.
If you're still working out which process fits your workload, it helps to talk it through with people who field these questions every day rather than guess from a spec sheet, and the team behind tecproducts.co.uk in Thirsk deal with exactly this kind of query on the advice line.
If you're weighing up options for your own workshop, from portable units to fixed installations, it's worth talking through the layout with a supplier who stocks a range of systems, such as tecproducts.co.uk.
Most domestic UK properties are supplied with single-phase power, typically 230V, which is more than adequate for light-duty inverter welders used for hobby work, repairs and general fabrication. Three-phase supply, commonly 400V to 415V across three live conductors, is standard in industrial premises and delivers power more efficiently to heavier equipment, which is why higher-output welders and plasma cutters, including some Fronius and ESAB machines, are often offered in a three-phase version.
Plasma cutting uses a jet of ionised gas, usually compressed air, forced through a nozzle at high speed and heated by an electric arc to a temperature hot enough to melt through electrically conductive metal. The molten material is then blown clear by the same jet, leaving a narrow, clean cut. Unlike oxy-fuel cutting, plasma works on any conductive metal, including stainless steel and aluminium, not just carbon steel. Hypertherm is the plasma cutting brand we get asked about most, and it's worth understanding the basics before comparing specific units.
