Frequently Asked Questions

What cannot be cut with plasma cutter?

Plasma cutters are not suitable for cutting non-conductive materials such as wood, plastic, glass, or concrete. They are designed specifically for conducting metals. Additionally, materials with high reflectivity, like certain types of aluminum and copper, can be challenging to cut with a standard plasma cutter due to their tendency to reflect the plasma arc.

What is better than a plasma cutter?

The choice between a plasma cutter and other cutting tools like laser cutters or waterjet cutters depends on the specific application and material. Laser cutters offer higher precision and are better for intricate and detailed cuts, especially on thinner materials. Waterjet cutters, on the other hand, can cut through almost any material, including non-metals, without generating heat, making them suitable for materials that are sensitive to high temperatures. Each of these cutting methods has its unique advantages, and the "better" option would depend on the specific requirements of the project.

When should you not use a plasma cutter?

You should not use a plasma cutter when working with non-conductive materials, as it won't be effective. It's also not ideal for extremely thin materials, as the intense heat can warp or damage them. Additionally, plasma cutters should not be used in areas where flammable materials or gases are present, due to the risk of fire or explosion caused by the high temperatures of the plasma arc.

How thick will a 20 amp plasma cutter cut?

A 20 amp plasma cutter typically cuts metal up to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. This can vary slightly based on the specific model of the cutter and the type of metal being cut. For cutting thicker metals, a higher amperage plasma cutter would be more suitable. It's important to consult the specifications of your particular plasma cutter model for precise cutting capabilities.
