plasma cutter

(1/2) > >>

Andy:
thinking of buying one of these for work but i will only be using it to to cut exhausts off...As any body used one and what is the best one for me to buy

JPC:
Would you not be better with a band saw or fixed rotary?

Andy:
they are to akward to get in Jay in some exhausts..if your cutting out a panel on a car they cut nice and don't warp the panel as well as my mate might be going halves on one

vRStu:
I used to use one years ago.  Pretty good tool but perhaps a little OTT for cutting pipework off  :evilgrin:

Basically just an arc which then uses gas to blow through the cut.  Bit like an electric version of an Oxy Acetylene/Oxy Propane torch.

You'll get quite a lot of spatter and because it uses electric you'll need to disconnect the battery etc everytime.

I've seen chain cutters which are good for taking exhausts off.

Andy:
i have a chain cutter as well for cutting exhausts os...maybe a bit ott but the fun you can have with them :evilgrin:
