this is averse cut 60 this will cut up to 78 plate it's a it's a monster
yeah I I've cut seven eighths within it . it does it's impressive and its light
so I mean only about 45 pounds yeah you can carry it around
I mean it will do everything on your restoration if you want to do some heavy
metal fab yeah all right there if you work on heavy equipment to I mean it'll
cut whatever ya small bridges at that and now let's quickly 240 is strictly
240 now all these units they only require about five to seven CFM at 60
psi the cut 20 actually runs a little lower on the PSI the CFM requires but
that's a great guideline lose anyone about a 30 gallon air compressor to
power these and they need to be on a different circuit you don't want to plug
these machines into the same circuit that your pressures on because then that
combine draw will be too much you'll get decreased performance so when you get
this
this is how it will come out of the box you have a torch the ground clamp the
machine so the first thing you need to do and so there's four things you pick
up in front yet members that want to do is figure out what airshow can you get
into match your airline and connect it to the rear of the machine
this is your standard quick the nest quick-disconnect fitting that we get
here so you put that in which we've already gone up put it around so let's
just put air joking sick and it's just a few connections in the front so it's
real simple you have your your main torch connection is brass not here
yeah
now we got our tours connected we got a pilot arc circuit connected and we got
the torch switch connected all we gotta do is connect our ground clamp and
that's just step simple clicks in and then you turn it 180 degrees till its
inches so the entire assembly is what a minute minute and a half minute or two I
mean and you're ready to cut metal got quick give you some other things like a
couple consumers to make it you got what you need
keep your plasma cutter working because you can't because you will go through
some tips and stuff
yep we're all here alright we try we try cutting some yeah so before you cut you
really need to get these four guys circuit if that were the very least get
yourself some plasma cutting shades with like a shave five at least get some
welding gloves and get a thick welding jacket you want to make sure you got
close to shoes cause sparks will fly
yes make sure there's no paper in here by yeah because you're going to keep all
flammable stuff about 35 feet away connect our ground plant so we're gonna
cut first so let's just make this aluminum first okay it'll cut steel and
aluminum got some aluminum here we're here but while you set it up once you've
got Joe can get into plasma cutting table
this is great he has these removable slats
and we can see this here yeah I'm pretty sturdy table we saw and then you cut you
can see there's some slits in from where
because you can cut one advantage is that you can cut right on this if you're
cutting some heavy what's the stuff we're going to cover and let it fall off
if you don't want to you can cut right here and then it won't fall off and
indent your concrete floor which is a really nice feature this so as it gets
lit up you can just turn around and then put them back down and now you can use
this side and then you can buy more these hood or get your place on so it's
it's a it's a pretty cool really cool table now before I start cutting i'm
going to set the machine
I'm going to turn it all the way up to 60 instance we're going to cut some
thicker materials at first and then i'm going to trigger the torrent and what
that's going to do I'm going to check out what air pressure mad right now i'm
at 60 psi that'd be great for this thick material you know we're actually going
to cut 58 steel to work well close the shades
I am no problem your lefty huh cody i have a lefty
so you get a nice clean cut with that aluminum tonight
all you have to do once you're done he's gonna flip it over hit with the file
clean it up real quick good you're good to go put this that we know let's try
this quarter and now when you're cutting large plate and you want to make sure
you have a nice clean cut one thing you do is grab a piece of angle iron and use
it as a fence so we're going to set that down here you need clams that going to
be sturdy enough clamps would help you typically can get away with something
smaller like this battle but it's great to use
nice cut for a lefty girl and up after left there so we got a nice clean cut
and all you got to do if there's any slack on that backside you can just take
a hammer to knock it off there but there is like no slide yeah i mean is it which
is one really nice thing with plasma cutting if you have it set up right and
it's hard to set the Machine up wrong really is
you're gonna you're gonna get no slide it all pretty much and if you are
running into issues the best thing to do is just stop
you know maybe change out your tips make sure you get clean dry air coming to it
and make sure you have enough air to make sure you're getting 40 to 60 psi
torch
yeah and then everything should be good
so ready you want to give it a shot with that five years I get stuck with the
five okay we'll try to 58 when you get into the center stuff it takes a little
more skill number skills are you said you say skill skill i like that you do
have to go
it's larry control your feet get that stuff out
alright so I'm a right he's not gonna screw up or you want me to do it left
handed to show up my you know I heard you can fly back up behind your bed that
I have done it
sorry when we do its job and I'm I ok like this we're going to the other side
is this better for you like this
ok ready try to get over here more so let me get to settle this stuff
everywhere
ok so he's gonna cut the end off this is 58 plate we had some stuff we had laying
around from a welding video so here we go
yeah
there there does a little bit of slag maybe a little bitty user error had a
little bit of an angle to start but hit that with a hammer
you can tell I mean I if it gets thicker you gotta move a little bit slower got a
hammer here but that's all it takes now there's basically no slide on 58 plate
like i said i have cut 78 with it i wanted to exploit a while with an angry
that we got some 18 gauge here and the first thing we're going to do we're
going to show you our plasma cutting guide tape okay
ah yeah so this stuff's really handy its magnetic it's also self-adhesive if you
are cutting aluminum and what we're going to do we're going to put a general
curve in here it's nice about this stuff you put on the side of your car yeah so
you're going to cut out this front fender you can put the tape right along
the fender and follow the content follow the contour the body and now it will
follow
whereas if you were going to do it that cannot be found her if you're going to a
straightedge it's you're gonna have a really tough time yeah like if you were
trying to go anywhere you couldn't do it but that you know just matches the
contour screw up a small piece of this will put it on that piece of plate
cut got our ground so on the table here we got this board on the cutting
directly on the plasma cutting table we talked about earlier and one thing I
like to do you're going to make a cut you're unsure how it's going to go it's
good to do a dry run to make sure you record isn't going somewhere it
shouldn't be making a trip you have good arm movement
ok move
that was smooth
yeah now that was still at the full 60 and you can we didn't
yeah it was a little warm but you're moving good get a nice clean we made no
adjustment no adjustments to the plasma cutter and we've cut sheet metal
aluminum and we've cut 58 plate yeah on the same settings it's very versatile
machine
yeah it's hard to it's hard to screw this up I'm i wasn't even able to do
yeah
