By using compressed gas and plasma, the molten metal is blown away, resulting in the separation of the work piece. Laser cutting technology was developed in the 1960s so that diamond dies could be ...

Plasma cutting does result in a far larger heat-affected zone than conventional laser cutting. Yet, this can be mitigated by conducting plasma cutting in water. Laser cutting tends to be more precise, ...

Step one? Cut massive steel sheets for the hull. To do this, BAE uses a computer-guided plasma torch after mapping out the size and shape of the cut. It's hot enough that cuts need to be made ...

The Plasma Cutter weighs about 2 kilograms (4.4 lb), and took about 200 hours to build It does, however, emit five laser beams. It uses three 30-milliwatt green lasers for aiming, and two blue ...

A service kit costs £495. There are three main options for high-precision sheet metal cutting – plasma, laser and oxy-fuel. All will do a far better job than a crude workshop gas axe or angle ...

[Daniel] has been metalworking on a budget for a while now. Originally doing things like plasma cutting on old bricks, he used his original plasma cutter to make an appropriate plasma cutting ...

But “cheap” and “good” don’t always intersect on a Venn diagram, and even when they do, not every plasma cutter is suitable for use on the spanking new CNC table you’re building.

Plasma arc cutting (PAC) is a thermal cutting technique widely used in manufacturing applications such as shipbuilding, aerospace, fabrication, nuclear plants decommissioning, construction ...
