Plasma cutters work by sending a pressurized gas, such as nitrogen, argon, or oxygen, through a small channel. In the center of this channel, you’ll find a negatively charged electrode.
How to use a plasma cutter?
Choose Work Location. Since we plan on cutting metal,placing the metal on a surface that is safe and allows for freedom of movement is critical.
Plug in Unit. Ensure that the unit is off and plug it in. Connect the Air. Connect the external air compressor to the plasma cutter. This is to ensure that the stream of plasma remains under high pressure. Turn the Air On. Turn on the air flow. In this case,turn the lever ninety degrees from perpendicular to the air line to inline. Attach the Ground Clamp. Set the metal that you are using on the table and attach the ground clamp close to where you will be cutting. Turn on the Machine. Turn on the machine by flipping the switch behind the unit into the ON position. Set the Current. In this case we will set it to 25 for 18 ga sheet metal. Cut the Metal. Use the trigger on the gun to activate the plasma cutter. Turn Off the Machine. When you are finished cutting your metal,turn off the machine. Disconnect the Ground Clamp. Disconnect the ground clamp from the metal you are working on. Turn Off Air. In this case turn off the air by rotating the lever 90 degrees,from inline to perpendicular to the line. Wind Up All Hoses. Wrap up the plasma gun line,air line,and ground line. Did you make this project? Share it with us! What is a CNC plasma cutter used for?
