Metalworking has always been very much a “mixed method” art. Forging, welding, milling, grinding; anything to remove metal or push it around from one place to another is fair game when you’ve got to ...

High-definition plasma cutting remains a plate fabrication workhorse, especially in thick material. In this world, ...

A plasma cutter looks similar to an arc welder, but instead of joining metals, the job here is to cut through them quickly and accurately. We’ve been looking at the technical aspects so we can help ...

A growing number of farmers are opting to tool up with engineering-grade workshop equipment to produce their own machinery parts. And when it comes to carving out perfect sheet metal profiles, there’s ...

Designed to cut through thick and tough metals, plasma cutters are best suited for machine shops and heavy-duty construction applications. They rapidly heat up with compressed air or gas, and the arc ...

Plasma is superheated, compressed air that ionizes to form a conductive gas. This gas conducts electricity from the torch of the plasma cutter to the work piece, through a electrode and copper nozzle ...

Makers and hobbyists that would like to create their very own CNC plasma table might be interested in this project which utilises the awesome Raspberry Pi mini PC and is capable of cutting sheet metal ...

A hand-held plasma cutter is an excellent tool to have if you are working with sheet metal, but it’s not particularly well suited to making long or repetitive cuts. Which is why [workshop from scratch ...

1.What Is Plasma Cutting? Plasma cutting is the first form of cutting that was developed in the 1950s as an alternative to flame cutting. Plasma cutting involves firing a superheated, electrically ...
