What it welds
The YESWELDER CUT-65DS Plasma Cutter is a plasma cutter rated by its maker at up to 60 amps on 110 or 220-volt input.
Cut capacity, per the maker: "Clean Cut: 5/16"". Makers mix rated, clean and severance figures; compare like with like. Cut capacity explained.
Check the air requirement in the manual; your compressor has to deliver that flow continuously at that pressure.
Arc start: non-high frequency. Pilot-arc and non-contact starts help on rusty or painted steel and expanded metal.
OSHA's minimum lens for light plasma cutting is shade 8, and its fire rule wants combustibles 35 feet away or shielded. Shade chart.
Also on the listing: dimensions of 15.75 in (L) x 5.91 in (W) x 11.81 in (H).
Warranty, per the listing: 1 year.
