New!  AirForce™ 12ci Plasma Cutter with Built-In Air Compressor and XT12R Torch

Need to cut steel? Thinking about an oxy acetylene cutting torch to do the job? Consider a plasma cutter. This simple technology uses an electrical arc and compressed air to cut steel, aluminum, and other conductive metals.

Designed to cut up to 1/4" mild steel, the AirForce™ 12ci is powered by standard household current (120 VAC). A built-in air compressor and lightweight inverter power supply make this plasma cutter the most convenient, totally portable cutting system available. The AirForce™ 12ci excels at cutting sheet metal and 1/8" mild steel, and can even sever 1/4" steel.

Compared to the complexities of an oxy fuel cutting torch system, plasma cutting is easy:

• Cuts faster than oxy fuel
• More precise cut, thinner kerf, less slag to clean up
• Smaller heat-affected zone for less warping
• No gas pressure settings or flame tuning needed
• No preheating of metal prior to cutting
• No pressurized gas cylinders to transport
• No worries about running out of gas on the job
• No expense for gas refills... ever
