Need to cut steel? Thinking about an oxy acetylene cutting torch to do the job? Consider a Hobart AirForce™ 250CI Plasma Cutter. This simple technology uses an electrical arc and compressed air to cut steel, aluminum, and other conductive metals. Designed to cut up to 1/4 mild steel, the Hobart AirForce™ 250CI is powered by standard household current (115 VAC). A built-in air compressor and lightweight inverter power supply make this plasma cutter the most convenient, totally portable cutting system available. The AirForce™ 250CI excels at cutting sheet metal and 1/8 mild steel, and can even sever 1/4 steel.Compared to the complexities of an oxy fuel cutting torch system, plasma cutting is easy. Plasma cutting cuts faster than oxy fuel. It gives a more precise cut, thinner kerf, and less slag to clean up. There is a smaller heat-affected zone for less warping when plasma cutting. There arent any gas pressure settings or flame tuning needed, no preheating of metal prior to cutting, no pressurized gas cylinders to transport, no worries about running out of gas on the job, no expense for gas refills ever... the list goes on and on.The Hobart AirForce™ 250CI Plasma Cutter comes ready to cut out of the box, with a convenient cable management strap for easy transportation. Just pull the trigger and cut.
