This plasma cutting system combines a power source with a handheld cutting tool. The power source transforms standard household electricity into a high-temperature plasma arc. This arc, channeled through the handheld torch, melts and severs various electrically conductive materials, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. The “60” designation typically refers to the machine’s amperage output, indicating its cutting capacity.
Such systems offer significant advantages for metal fabrication. They provide cleaner cuts compared to some other methods, reducing the need for extensive post-cut finishing. The portability and relative ease of use of these systems make them suitable for various applications, from professional workshops to DIY projects. Advancements in plasma cutting technology have led to more compact and efficient machines, increasing accessibility and broadening their utility across industries.
