The plasma cutting machines are typically more expensive than oxy/acetylene. Also, oxy/acetylene does not

require access to electrical power or compressed air which may make it a more convenient method for some users.

Oxyfuel can generally cut thicker sections (>63/64 inch) of steel more quickly than plasma.

10. Plasma Introduction

The plasma Cutting process involves creating and electrical channel of super-heated, electrically ionized gas i.e.

plasma from the plasma cutter itself, through the work piece to be cut, thus forming a completed electric circuit back

to the plasma cutter via a grounding clamp. This is accomplished by a compressed gas (Oxygen,air, inert and others

depending on material being cut ) which is blown through a focused nozzle at high speed toward the work piece. An

electrical arc is the formed within the gas, between an electrode near or integrated into the gas nozzle and the work

piece itself. The electrical arc ionizes some of gas, thereby creating and electrically conductive channel of plasma. As

electricity from the cutter torch travels down this plasma it delivers sufficient heat to melt through the work piece. At

the same time, much of the high velocity plasma and compressed gas blow the hot molten metal away, thereby

separating i.e. cutting through the work piece.

NOTE: This machine is designed to use only compressed air as gas.

Tips:

1. Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching;

2. Wear approved safety glasses. Side shields recommended;

3. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare; warn others not to watch the arc;

4. Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material(wool and leather) and foot protection;

5. Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs if noise level is high;

6. Never wear contact lenses while welding.
