MILLER ELECTRIC 907529 Plasma Cutter Inverter Spectrum 375

What are the uses of a plasma cutter?

Plasma cutters are used to cut through materials quicker than oxy-fuel torches. This improved speed can offer an increase in productivity in the workplace. Due to the absence of extremely flammable gas and exposed flames, plasma cutters are also significantly safer than oxy-fuel cutters.

What gas do we require for a plasma cutter?

The most popular gases to use are nitrogen, oxygen or argon. Some plasma cutter systems comprise multi-gas features, so different gases can be used for varied applications.

What are the different types of plasma cutters?

The two types of plasma cutters are manual and automatic. They are commonly found in shops that fabricate sheet metal and piping. Some basic differences between the two types of plasma cutters are productivity, ease of use and portability.

How do I select the right Miller Electric plasma cutter inverter for my needs?

Major factors include the thickness and type of metal you plan to cut, the required cutting speed, power input options (such as voltage and phase) and portability requirements.
