What it welds
The PRIMEWELD CUT50DP Plasma Cutter is a plasma cutter.
The listing doesn't state a cut capacity, which is the main way to size a plasma cutter. Size to the rated or clean figure for the steel you cut most, not the severance maximum. Cut capacity explained.
Air, per the maker: 75 PSI at 5 CFM. Keep the air clean and dry to protect the consumables.
Arc start: pilot arc. Pilot-arc and non-contact starts help on rusty or painted steel and expanded metal.
Cut over steel or sand: plasma throws molten metal out of the bottom of the cut, and OSHA's rule is to keep combustibles 35 feet away or shielded. Lens: at least shade 8 under 300 A. Fire safety.
