Different Projects Require Different Cutting Tools
When cutting lighter parts out of steel sheets, high-definition plasma arc cutting is frequently the most efficient way to go about it. This method of fabrication uses special torches, power supplies, and nozzles to control a stream of ionized gas. The stream of gas, usually oxygen or nitrogen, can cut through anything from carbon steel of varying thickness to aluminum and stainless steel while at the same time improving the squareness and edge quality on thinner materials (3/8” and less) by increasing the energy density of the ionized gas stream. Our two plasma tables feature cutting speeds well over 100 inches per minute, and, depending on the thickness and type of material, can cut without the warpage typically found with other thermal cutting methods.
Just a few benefits of plasma cutting include:
- Can cut up to 1 1/2-inch steel
- Fast cuts — Can get a job done in one-fourth the time of any other cutting tools
- Doesn’t need to be preheated — Dramatically saves even more cutting time
- Precision cuts — This is especially true when cutting different angles or shapes
- Versatility — Can cut diverse types of metal
