Plasma Cutter vs. Oxy-Acetylene: Should I make the change?
I have seen automated plasma machines that can cut up to 8" thick metal and Oxy-Acetylene torchs that will cut 24" thick metal. The manual plasma torch I have in my shop will cut 3/4" metal pretty good but it is slow at this thickness. My manual plasma torch uses around 50 psi air and 50 amps 240volts.
