How to Choose the Right Plasma Cutter
1. Determine Your Thickness Needs
-
Under 1/4": 30-40A unit sufficient
-
1/2"-3/4": 50-80A recommended
-
1"+: Industrial 100A+ systems required
2. Consider Power Requirements
-
110V models: Limited to 30A output
-
220V single-phase: Best for most shops
-
3-phase industrial: 80A+ systems
3. Evaluate Duty Cycle Needs
