What is a Plasma Cutter used for?
Plasma cutting is one of the most important separation methods in the industry because it can be flexibly used for 2D and 3D cutting tasks and for cutting all electrically conductive materials.
Plasma cutter is used for cutting any 2D or 3D metal. It is often known due to its preciseness, and its easy-to-use manifestation than any of the other raw materials.
Using a proper guide such as carpenter's rafter or frame, you can see your work come to life in the process. To lend a little insight, here are some things that you can do to give an idea for your following projects:
Metal Artwork
Artists in the specific genre of metal find the use of plasma cutter satisfying. It is for the reason that it can allow them to make precise cuts, especially for those that have intricate shapes.
It can cut along finely drawn lines at ease, which is why some also use it for templates and stencils. If you are into arts, consider this usage for your future artwork.
Demolition

Some use it for car repair, fenders, mufflers, and trailer hitches. In agriculture, it is also used for repairing tractors, watering tanks, and fencing. When you need a metal repairing, this machine may do the trick.
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Plasma Cuts
With this function of a plasma torch, it allows the various gears to make several cuts on a whole sheet of metal, tubes, or scraps. There are two types of CNC, specifically the 2D and 3D.
2D is typically for flat sheets that cut many parts at a 90-degree angle. Meanwhile, 3D can be angled at any degree on its edge, which is often used for countersunk holes. If you want to divide the metal for your project, then find the specific type wisely.
Profession Usage
Since these are portable machines, you can use it depending on your field of work. Specifically, a plumber uses it to cut pipe while on the job.
An industry fabrication can also do multi-axis cuts to enhance the welding works with their additional precise and detailed cuts.
How Much Does a Plasma Cutter Cost?
According to different configurations and requirements for Working area, Plasma power, Minnimum cutting diameter, Max cutting speed, Transmission, Drive motor, Control system, Table, Machine frame, Working voltage, Optional parts and Consumble parts, plasma cutter has a price range from $4,000.00 to $30,000.00. If you want to buy a plasma cutting machine overseas, the fee of shipping costs, tax, and customs clearance should be included in the final price.
